Mohamed Salah has been in sensational form this season, netting 13 goals and providing eight assists in just 14 Premier League games.
His stellar performances have propelled his team to the top of the league standings, establishing a seven-point cushion over main rivals Chelsea and Arsenal.
Ex-Real Madrid and Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart believes that there is currently no player in the world who can match his level of play.
‘I think so, yes, [Mohamed] Salah is the best,’ Van der Vaart told BetMGM. ‘I am a big fan of [Kylian] Mbappe but he is not showing it at the moment.
‘You have Vinicius Jr too, but I think that Salah has been consistent for so many years.
‘You can see [Mohamed Salah] feels really at home at Liverpool and he should stay.
‘It’s the same with [Trent] Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, they should stay at Liverpool too.
‘Liverpool is a huge club that is doing really well at the moment and I only see Real Madrid as the club you never say no to.’
Uncertainty looms over the future of Liverpool’s star forward as rumors circulate about a potential summer departure, with his contract set to expire at the end of June.
Following Liverpool’s triumph against Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, Salah addressed speculations regarding his future.
‘Honestly, it’s in my head,’ Salah said. ‘Until now, this is the last City game I will play for Liverpool so I was just going to enjoy it.
‘The atmosphere was incredible so I will enjoy every second here. Hopefully we just win the league and will see what will happen.’
