Jamie Carragher Backs Salah for Individual Glory
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has thrown his weight behind Mohamed Salah as the frontrunner for the prestigious Ballon D’Or in 2025. Despite facing criticism from fans regarding his comments on Salah’s contract negotiations, Carragher remains steadfast in his belief that the Egyptian winger is destined for football’s highest individual accolade.
Salah’s Stellar Performance Continues
With the current season well underway, Salah has been nothing short of sensational for Liverpool. Carragher, speaking to the Daily Telegraph, expressed his conviction that Salah’s remarkable form could see him clinch both the Premier League Player of the Year and the Ballon D’Or. “Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Salah,” he stated when asked who he predicts will take home these awards in 2025.
Salah’s statistics are impressive—he is on track to win accolades from the Professional Footballers’ Association and the Football Writers’ Association. If Liverpool continues to dominate the Premier League, the only serious contenders for these honours may be his teammates or Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.
Chasing History: Salah’s Ambition
Salah has openly stated his desire to become only the second African player to win the Ballon d’Or, following George Weah’s triumph in 1995. Carragher believes that Salah’s chances are bolstered by the absence of major international tournaments this year, which typically influence award selections. Instead, the focus will likely shift to standout performances in the Champions League.
Liverpool’s Title Hopes and Salah’s Role
Currently, Liverpool is enjoying a strong position in the Premier League, sitting six points clear at the top with a game in hand. Their perfect record in the Champions League further highlights their potential for success this season. Salah, as the club’s top scorer with 19 goals and 15 assists across all competitions, is a pivotal figure in this success.
Carragher notes that individual awards often go to players who are instrumental in their teams’ victories. If Liverpool continues its current trajectory, Salah will undoubtedly be in contention for the highest honours, both as an individual and as part of a winning team.
Contract Talks and Fan Reactions
As Salah’s contract situation remains a hot topic, Liverpool fans are hopeful that he will extend his stay at Anfield. Carragher’s insights into Salah’s potential success only add to the urgency of securing his future with the club. The growing belief among supporters is that Salah will indeed sign a new deal, ensuring his talents remain in Liverpool red for the foreseeable future.
What’s Next for Liverpool?
In other developments, Liverpool is reportedly keeping a close eye on a Premier League full-back, signalling their intent to strengthen the squad further. As the season progresses, the focus will remain on both Salah’s individual accolades and Liverpool’s pursuit of silverware.
