Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, has made his pick on the player to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or award.
France Football, the organisers of the most prestigious individual award in football, recently released a 30-man shortlist for the award.
Mohamed Salah of Liverpool was one of the players in the list and Casemiro feels he should be given the award.
Salah scored 34 goals and provided 23 assists in 52 outings across competitions for the Reds.
The Egyptian’s performance helped Arne Slot’s side win the Premier League title.
However, Casemiro told British GQ that Salah fulfilled all requirements to win the award last season, describing him as the most balanced player last season.
The Brazilian said as quoted by The Touchline, “Mohamed Salah. He is the best player, with his impact in the game.
“He scores so much, assists so much. The most balanced player last season was Salah.”
The 30-man shortlist also has the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Vitinha, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
