Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has endorsed his teammate Mohamed Salah as the deserving recipient of the 2025 Ballon d'Or, overlooking other contenders like Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembele.
Gravenberch, who recently helped the Netherlands secure a 2-0 victory against Finland in the World Cup qualifiers, expressed his support for the Egyptian forward when asked about his favorite for the prestigious award.
"I would give the Ballon d'Or to (Mohamed) Mo Salah," Gravenberch stated after the international fixture.
Salah's Remarkable Season
Salah has been instrumental in Liverpool's successful campaign, playing a pivotal role in their Premier League title victory this season. The forward's exceptional performance saw him net an impressive 34 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions, while also providing 18 assists.
His domestic league performance was particularly outstanding, with Salah claiming the Premier League Golden Boot after scoring 29 goals. This remarkable achievement was further recognized when he was named the 'Player of the Season.'
Gravenberch himself has been one of Liverpool's standout performers this season, contributing significantly to their title-winning campaign alongside Salah.
The Ballon d'Or, considered the most prestigious individual award in football, recognizes the best male footballer of the year. With Salah's exceptional statistics and crucial role in Liverpool's success, Gravenberch's endorsement adds to the growing support for the Egyptian star's candidacy.
