Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has set the football world ablaze with his unexpected comments about the 2025 Ballon d’Or, hinting at his burning desire to claim the prestigious award.

With an electrifying season so far, Salah has scored 25 goals and provided 16 assists in the Premier League alone, totaling 41 goal contributions. If he maintains this blistering form, he is projected to end the 2024/25 season with an unprecedented 58 goal involvements — a record-breaking feat in the history of the Premier League.

Speaking to the media after his stellar performance against Manchester City, where he scored and assisted, Salah did not hold back his ambitions.

“Of course, I want to win the Ballon d’Or. Every player dreams of it,” Salah stated. “I believe if I continue at this level and help Liverpool achieve our goals, anything is possible.”

His remarks have fueled intense debate among fans and pundits alike. While Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland have long been considered frontrunners for the next Ballon d’Or, Salah’s sensational season has thrust him firmly into the conversation.

Salah added: “The most important thing is the team’s success. Individual awards come when the team wins, so my focus is on winning trophies with Liverpool. But yes, the Ballon d’Or is a dream.”

With 11 Premier League matches remaining, all eyes are on Salah as he continues his relentless pursuit of history — and perhaps the coveted Ballon d’Or trophy.

Will 2025 finally be the year Mohamed Salah claims football’s ultimate individual honor? The world waits with bated breath.
