Theo Walcott: Mohamed Salah Deserves the Ballon d’Or This Season

Former Arsenal star Theo Walcott has praised Mohamed Salah for his exceptional performances with Liverpool. According to Walcott, the Egyptian forward is the most deserving candidate for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

Salah continues to impress, playing a key role in Liverpool’s dominance in the Premier League. Additionally, his contributions have helped the team secure a spot in the Champions League Round of 16.

In his statement, Walcott expressed his admiration, saying, “Mohamed Salah should win the Ballon d’Or. It is the most prestigious individual award in football. When you have a player like him, goals and victories are guaranteed.”

Furthermore, he highlighted Liverpool’s attacking power, stating, “Liverpool never stops scoring, especially with Salah on the team. Without a doubt, he has been the best player this season. I truly believe he deserves the award.”

Uncertain Future for Salah

With his contract expiring in June, speculation about Salah’s future is increasing. So far, Liverpool has not initiated any formal negotiations for an extension.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that Saudi Pro League clubs are eager to sign him. At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain has also listed him as a priority target for next season.

According to FIFA regulations, Salah has been eligible to negotiate with other clubs since January. If he signs a pre-contract, he could officially join a new team at the start of the next season.
