Who Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah once instantly named as his ‘dream teammate’, he’s a current Premier League player

Mohamed Salah has managed to play alongside some of the greatest players in the history of the game throughout his career.

Even before the 32-year-old signed for Liverpool, Salah played alongside his idol, Francesco Totti — who is regarded as one of the most comp🔯🍷lete forwards of all time.

At Anfield, the list of incredible players Mohamed Salah has played with is virtually endless — be it an obvious name like Virgil van Dijk or potentially an underappreciated stalwart like Thiago Alcantara🙈.

But during his time at Liverpool𝐆, the Egyptian icon has 🍒also played against all-time greats.

One of them is Kevin De Bruyne, who Salah꧅ once named as his “dream teammate” in 2023.

Mohamed Salah named Kevin De Bruyne as his “dream teammate”

Salah initially picked Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Mess🧸i but as far as Premier League players are🔥 concerned, he opted for De Bruyne.

A key reason why Salah admitted he woul🃏d love playing with De Bruyne is due to his vision that wou🍎ld allow the Belgian to assist him at will.

The Liverpool leg💎end told Sky Sports: “[Lionel] Messi or [Cristiano] Ronaldo but if I pick one in the Prem🎉ier League, I choose Kevin.”

“Because he 🥃has vision and I’m sure ൲he can find me anywhere with the ball, so I could say Messi and Ronaldo and Kevin.”

How many times did Mohamed Salah and De Bruyne play together at Chelsea?

Tꦍhe fact that Ch🐽elsea had both Salah and De Bruyne on their books at a young age and they managed to let the pair go has to go down as one of the worst transfer decisions in the history of the game.

Both players are arguably the two greatest players of their generations to have graced the Premier League and up there amon🃏gst the veryꦜ best of the best to have played in England.

Unfortunately for Che⛄lsea fans, Salah and De Bruyne were never on the pitch😼 in tandem in blue strips.
