Mohamed Salah is to be considered one of the main guards in the Ballon d'Or this year in view of his breathtaking performance with Liverpool, said Daniel Sturridge.

Salah well placed
“He has a season at the Messi and the Ronaldo”, said Carragher on Sky Sports. Sturridge added : “We are talking about the Ballon d'Or now. If we are not talking about the Ballon d'Or with Mohamed Salah, then it becomes uncontrollable. We have to start telling her about this now and saying, I don't even know if he had a vote among the first five or the first three. ”
Asked about the reasons why Salah was not in the running before, he added: “The story of this price is generally the one awarded to someone from the Liga”.
Salah was not among the first 30 in the Golden Ball classification of last year, because the star of City Rodri received the distinction. The previous year, which returned to Messi, he was 16th and in 2022, he reached fifth place while Karim Benzema won the prize.
