Mohamed Salah has been handed a six-month driving ban and ordered to pay £1,044 after a court found he failed to tell police who was behind the wheel of his Rolls-Royce when it was caught on a speed camera in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on March 27.

The car was recorded travelling at 36mph on a 30mph stretch of road. Cheshire Police brought the prosecution, and the 34-year-old did not respond to the notice or enter a plea.

The case was heard under the Single Justice Procedure, which allows magistrates to sit in private hearings, and Warrington Combined Court convicted him of failing to provide information relating to the identification of the driver.

The incident occurred just days after Salah announced he was leaving Liverpool, where he had spent nine years. The club marked his departure by describing him as one of the greatest players in its history.

He scored 257 goals in 442 appearances before moving to Turkish side Trabzonspor following the 2025-26 season.
