Mohamed Salah Faces Court Date in Legal Fee Dispute with Former Lawyer

The New Cairo Court is set to convene its first hearing on Sunday regarding a lawsuit brought by Amr Faragallah, the former lawyer of Mohamed Salah. The legal action seeks financial compensation for legal and administrative services that the attorney claims to have rendered to the player.

The court has mandated that Mohamed Salah appear in person on Sunday to take a specific oath. This oath requires the player to formally deny that the former lawyer performed the disputed services or that any financial debt is owed to him.

Authorities have emphasized that if Mohamed Salah fails to attend or refuses to take the oath without providing a valid excuse, it will be treated as a breach of oath, carrying legal consequences as defined by law.

The roots of this legal dispute trace back to September 2015. The former lawyer's claims rely on an official power of attorney granted to him by Mohamed Salah in 2012, prompting the ongoing demand for compensation for past legal and administrative work.
