Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian forward for Liverpool FC, has reportedly purchased a luxury villa in Bodrum’s Kucukbuk neighborhood following a recent holiday in Türkiye. The residence, part of the high-end Mare project, is said to have cost around $10 million.
Salah, who spent time in the coastal resort town last week with friends, tried to keep a low profile during his stay by wearing a cap and sunglasses. Still, local media picked up on his presence, especially after a widely reported ₺60,000 (over $1,500) restaurant bill at a local fish venue.
The Premier League champion reportedly traveled to Bodrum on the invitation of his business associate in the U.K., Ahmet Karacol. Impressed by the area, Salah decided to make a real estate investment on the Aegean coast.
The villa he purchased is located in the prestigious Kucukbuk area, known for its upscale developments and scenic sea views. The property offers a wide range of luxury features, including a private beach, sun terrace, Turkish hammam, sauna, spa, and a fitness center. It also includes a cinema room, a library, and separate accommodation for staff.
At 33, Salah recently renewed his contract with Liverpool following what has been described as one of the most successful seasons of his career. According to experts, his investment in Bodrum reflects a growing trend of international celebrities turning to Türkiye’s coastal towns for luxury holiday homes.
