Liverpool head coach Arne Slot believes his team need to win a trophy this season for Mohamed Salah to have a chance of winning the Ballon d'Or.

The Egyptian, who is out of contract in summer, has 41 direct goal involvements (25 goals, 16 assists) for Liverpool this season

And now reports in Spain claim that Salah is ‘negotiating behind Liverpool’s back to sign for a European giant’ as the Egyptian considers a move away from Anfield in the summer. ‘With the end of his contract drawing ever closer, Salah’s entourage is already looking for alternatives, and has done so without waiting for an offer from Liverpool.
