Salah is among the 30 players who are shortlisted for this award.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson believes his teammate Mohamed Salah is not favourite for the Ballon d’Or. The 29-year-old player has been nominated for the prestigious Ballon d’Or. He is among the 30 players who are shortlisted for this award. The Reds star is favourite after putting a class show with Liverpool. The Egypt international has been a standout performer this season.
Alisson said to TNT Sports “For sure. He’s (Salah) deserving yes, for what he’s been showing. Not only this season, he’s a very constant player.”
“I believe that the Ballon d’Or votes counts with the other seasons as well. But it gets very difficult, there are a lot of players who deserve it.
“If we talk about deserving, there are many players… for example, Lewandowski, who’s a guy who’s been doing absurd things in recent seasons, breaking records.
“Salah too, breaking records. And other players out there with a lot of class winning titles. For sure, anyone who comes out a winner will be deserving.”
Alisson also admired his teammate, “Salah is a guy who works a lot. A guy who works not only for him, but who works for the team as well. A guy who takes care of himself, a great professional.
“He’s certainly deserving [of the Ballon d’Or], yes. I’ll definitely be very happy if he wins an award like this, because he is really someone who works really hard and helps us a lot. So surely he’s deserving.”
