The footballer failed to tell authorities who was behind the wheel of his Rolls-Royce when it was clocked speeding.

Former Liverpool footballer Mohamed Salah has been banned from driving for six months after his Rolls-Royce was clocked speeding.

The player failed to tell police who was at the wheel when the car was caught by a speed camera driving at 36mph on a 30mph stretch of road in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on March 27, according to court documents.

The 34-year-old did not respond to the notice of the prosecution, brought by Cheshire Constabulary, and did not enter a plea to the charge.

A court official said he was prosecuted at Warrington Combined Court under the Single Justice Procedure, which sees magistrates sit in private hearings, and was convicted of failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of the Rolls Royce.

The Egypt national captain was handed a six-month driving ban and ordered to pay £1,044, the court spokeswoman said.

The speeding offence came days after Salah announced he would be leaving Liverpool following nine years with the team.

Announcing his departure on March 24, the club said he had “firmly established himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history”.

He scored 257 goals in 442 appearances for Liverpool, before transferring to Turkish side Trabzonspor following the 2025-26 season.
