Four Liverpool players have been nominated for the 2025 Ballon d'Or, highlighting the club's strong influence in world football this year. The nominated players from Liverpool are Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, and the recent signing Florian Wirtz.

Mohamed Salah continues to be a key figure for Liverpool with consistent top-level performances. Virgil van Dijk’s defensive prowess remains widely respected, contributing significantly to Liverpool's solidity at the back. Alexis Mac Allister, who joined from Brighton, has impressed during his time at Anfield, earning individual recognition with this prestigious nomination. Florian Wirtz, Liverpool’s new signing from Bayer Leverkusen, has also caught the eye quickly with his creative midfield talents.

Beyond individual nominations, Liverpool's managerial side also receives accolades. Arne Slot, who succeeded Jürgen Klopp as Liverpool’s manager last summer, has been shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or Men's Team Coach of the Year award. He steered Liverpool to a Premier League title in his debut season, a remarkable achievement that underlines the club’s continued competitive status on the domestic front.

The 2025 Ballon d'Or ceremony, organized by France Football, will take place in September in Paris, celebrating not only players but also coaches and other football contributors. This year's list of nominees reflects the blend of emerging talent and established stars, with Liverpool prominently represented both on the pitch and on the sidelines.
