Liverpool head coach Arne Slot thinks Mohamed Salah has a good possibility to eventually win the Ballon d’Or.
Slot concurred with Salah’s assertion that this season—both in terms of individual performance and feats—has been his best thus far.
What did Salah assert?
The Egyptian forward claims that this season has been “crazy”—in the best sense of the word.
He showed steady play, guided important wins, and helped the Reds clinch their 20th English Premier League title.

“I would say this is my best chance,” he revealed in an interview with Sky Sports.
Who are the other competitors for the award?
Although the former Roma player’s form is exceptional, he is not the only star shining this year. Following Paris Saint Germain’s Champions League final run, Ousmane Dembele is on top of the chart.
Another player who has shot up the rankings is Barcelona’s young star, Lamine Yamal.

What Slot thinks of Salah?
Even if the Egypt international doesn’t win it this year, the Dutch manager is still hopeful.
The Anfield gaffer remarked: “If there was ever a chance for him, it would be this season.
“If not, he will push even harder next season — that’s what I already know with him.”
