The season is still far from its verdict, but Liverpool supporters (the leaders of the Premier League) are already calling on their star, Mohamed Salah, to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
Is the race for the 2025 Ballon d’Or already on? While Rodri, to everyone’s surprise, surpassed Vinicius to capture the prize awarded by France Football, a football star is emerging after three months of competition in the 2024-2025 season. In any case, Liverpool fans want to make Mohamed Salah the big favorite for the 2025 prize. It should be noted that the Reds currently lead the Premier League, two points ahead of Manchester City, and are at the top of the Champions League standings.
“Mo” Salah failed to score in the fourth consecutive victory for Arne Slot’s team, in a dominant performance against Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen (4-0) on Tuesday evening. However, the sparkling Egyptian winger provided assists for two of Luis Diaz’s three goals. Although Salah remains stuck at just one goal in the Champions League, his statistics already show 7 goals and 5 assists in the league. His decisive actions are also remarkable in the most competitive league in the world.

At 32, Salah is in great shape (which has not always been the case in recent years) and must decide in the coming months whether to extend his stay at Liverpool, the club he has been with since 2017, or if he will leave at the end of his contract next June (probably on his way to Saudi Arabia, where a Ronaldo-style jackpot awaits him).
For the record, George Weah 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 awarded the best European player). Salah is one of the biggest stars in the modern Premier League, having been named England Player of the Year in 2018 and 2022, but he has only managed two fifth-place finishes in the Ballon d’Or, in 2019 and 2022.
