The season is still far from having delivered its verdict, but supporters of Liverpool (the leader of the Premier League) are already demanding the 2025 Ballon d'Or from their star Mohamed Salah.
Is the race for the 2025 Ballon d'Or already on? While Rodri beat Vinicius to everyone's surprise to win the reward of France Footballa football star stands out after three months of competition in this 2024-2025 season. At least, Liverpool supporters are already pushing to make Mohamed Salah the (first) favorite for BO 2025. It must be said that the Reds are quite simply leaders of the Premier League, with two points ahead of Manchester City, and in the lead of the ranking of the
Champions League.
“Mo” Salah did not score during the fourth victory in a row for Arne Slot's team, during a show of force against Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen (4-0), Tuesday evening. But the spinning Egyptian left-hander is a decisive double assist on two of Luis Diaz's three goals. If Salah remains stuck at one achievement in the UCL, his statistics already show 7 goals and 5 assists in the league. His decisive actions are also remarkable in the toughest championship in the world.
The 2nd African Ballon d’Or in history?
In great shape at 32 (this has not always been the case in recent years), Salah must decide in the coming months between an extension at LFC, his club since 2017, or a departure at the end of his contract in June next (certainly for Saudi Arabia, where a jackpot worthy of Cristiano Ronaldo awaits).
As a reminder, George Weah still remains the only African footballer to have won the Ballon d'Or. It was in 1995, during the first edition open to all players playing in Europe (the Ballon d'Or previously rewarded the best European player). Salah is one of the biggest stars of the modern Premier League, he was voted Player of the Year in England in 2018 and 2022, but was satisfied with two 5th places in the Ballon d'Or, in 2019 and 2022.
