Will Messi and Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or winning streak finally come to an end?
The man needs no introduction. Some call him the Egyptian king. Others call him the next Messi. Mohamed Salah has had a season to remember, winning the Golden Boot in the Premier League and playing a vital role in firing Liverpool to the Champions League Final, he's seen and done it all.
Salah started his career with the Egyptian Premier League club El Mokawloon. Soon, he moved to Swiss club FC Basel, where he became a star player, winning the league title in his debut season. Also, he was named the SAPF Player of the year. His performances attracted Premier League side Chelsea and they brought him in for around £11 million. He couldn't make much progress at the club, and was publicly criticized by then manager Jose Mourinho. He was loaned to Serie A side Fiorentina after that. Shortly after, Roma permanently signed him for £15 million. Salah flourished at Roma. He would soon move back to the Premier League, with Liverpool signing him for a then club record fee of £37 million.
Back to the Premier League
Salah was back in the Premier League, this time with Liverpool. Some casted doubts over his future, because of his failed spell with Chelsea. However, Salah was here to prove them all wrong. He would go on to have a fantastic season, setting many records, breaking some, and most importantly, embed himself in the hearts of all Liverpool fans. Salah became the first African player to score 30 Premier League goals in a single season. His most memorable match was the one with Watford, in which he bagged an incredible 4 goal haul. He scored in the incredible 4:3 win against Manchester City at Anfield, bringing Manchester City's winning streak to an end. Salah played a big role in Liverpool's Champions League campaign, bringing them to the Finals. In short, he's had the time of his life, and there's lots more to come.
What does the future hold for Salah?
A lot lies ahead for the Egyptian superstar. Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a €200 million bid for him. Even Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are rumored to line up for him. Salah is a great player, not just because he has technical skills to make it count on the pitch, but because he's humble, kind and a good human being. He's built schools and hospitals in his country and also finished runner up in the Presidential elections. He's widely revered across the planet. A player of such caliber, we could see him winning a Ballon d'Or, maybe 2, in the near future.
