Mohamed Salah given Ballon d'or warning if he does not stay at Liverpool
Tony Cascarino believes Mohamed Salah can challenge Kenny Dalglish as the greatest player to play for Liverpool if he stays at Anfield for three more years.
Salah scored his 150th goal for the club during the 3-1 win over Norwich on Saturday, and is already an Anfield legend after playing a pivotal role in the Reds’ recent Champions League and Premier League triumphs.

However, the 29-year-old’s contract expires in the summer of 2023 and as yet there isn’t an agreement in place to extend his deal.
Cascarino believes that if Salah stays at Liverpool he’ll not only continue to develop as a player but could even emulate Dalglish’s achievements of multiple titles and European cups.
“He’s going to play his best football at Anfield because of the manager and the player’s that he’s got alongside him, that fundamentally make him better," he told talkSPORT .
“Mo is a huge talent and can challenge the likes of King Kenny as one of the greatest players to ever play for Liverpool.
“Kenny did it over a longer period of time, and won a lot of league titles, it’s an ask but Mo can easily achieve that if he stays another three years at Anfield.”
Cascarino also claimed that Salah stands the best chance of winning the Ballon d'or if he remains with the Reds.
