Mo Salah Tipped for 2025 Ballon d’Or After Smart Media Move
As the 2024/25 football season nears its end, the conversation around who will win the 2025 Ballon d’Or is heating up. Among the contenders are PSG’s Ousmane Dembele, Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
However, fans believe Salah may have given himself an edge after making a shrewd move that could influence the decision. The Egyptian forward spoke with French media outlet L’Equipe about Liverpool’s recent Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain — a gesture some see as strategic.
Reflecting on the match, Salah praised PSG’s performance, admitting they were strong in the first leg, while Liverpool were unlucky in the second. He described the tie as evenly matched and graciously congratulated PSG, calling them Europe’s best at the time.
Salah’s choice to speak with the French press raised eyebrows, especially considering that France Football, a French magazine, is responsible for awarding the Ballon d’Or. Some fans think this interview was a calculated attempt to boost his profile with the award’s decision-makers.
One supporter commented, “Mo talking to the French media is no coincidence,” suggesting Salah’s move was a tactical one aimed at improving his chances of being crowned the world’s best player.
