Haaland with Mbappé, the pharaonic transfer

Mohamed Salah was asked to forget his candidacy for the Ballon d'Or this year, because Sam Allardyce is convinced that the Ballon d'Or will return to Vinicius Junior.

Salah's incredible performance with Liverpool, leader of the Premier League, made him a potential candidate to win the most prestigious prize in 2025.

However, the former English manager thinks that France Football, the magazine that organizes the Ballon d'Or, will desperately seek to appease Real Madrid this year. The Spanish giants boycotted the ceremony last year after learning that the Manchester City Star Rodri had to be crowned winner in place of Vinicius, an upheaval that the 70-year-old coach says that they will desperately seek to avoid this time.

Vinicius Favorite?

Speaking of the hopes of Salah concerning the Grail of football, Allarcyce said: ” There is no chance. It will be Vinicius Jr because of what Real Madrid did last year. They will absolutely shit on it because they will no longer arise if one of them does not win, so one of them will win. You can just as well bet on it now. »»

Salah has an incredible total of 30 goals and 21 assists in 38 games in all competitions with Liverpool this season and he will seek to add more to his record against Newcastle on Wednesday.
