Mohamed Salah
While Mohamed Salah may not be listed among the top favorites for the 2025 Ballon d'Or, he is undoubtedly Casemiro's leading choice.
In recent days, the race for the next Ballon d'Or has been a hot topic. Achraf Hakimi, Lamine Yamal, and Dembélé are already battling it out for the coveted trophy. While the Moroccan seems to have a slight edge , Casemiro sees things differently.
Asked about the subject, the former Real Madrid midfielder gave his nod to Mohamed Salah , who has had an outstanding season with Liverpool. "For me, the Ballon d'Or goes to Mohamed Salah . He's the best player. He scores so much, delivers so many assists... The most complete player last season was Salah," said the Manchester United player.
