Mo Salah has named Kevin De Bruyne, the talisman for Manchester City, as his “dream” partner to have at Liverpool.

Since moving from Roma to Anfield in 2017, the Egyptian international has displayed impressive skill.

The 31-year-old has scored 198 goals in 322 games to date, solidifying his status as a modern-day Liverpool icon.

During that time, Salah has triumphed in the UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, League Cup, Premier League, and Champions League as Jurgen Klopp has guided the Anfield team back to glory.

During his time at Anfield, Salah has collaborated with a plethora of intriguing attacking talents. He was a part of the renowned trio that led most of Liverpool’s recent success, together with Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

The Brazilian and Senegalese stars have been replaced more recently by players like Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz. Salah has been establishing new alliances with these attacking skills.

Even though Salah has shared the field with many exceptional players during his career, there are undoubtedly those that he has not had the opportunity to play with on the same squad and would have welcomed the opportunity.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Salah named the two players who will go down in history as the greatest of all time—Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo—as the two GOATS. The two played a great deal of their careers together for the same teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid, and dominated as the best in the world for about 15 years.

The third player that Salah chose was the captain of Man City, Kevin De Bruyne, who is one of the Premier League players he would most like to be on the same team with.

When asked about his ideal teammate, Salah replied, “I would pick Kevin if I had to choose between Messi and Ronaldo in the Premier League.” I would rank Messi, Ronaldo, and Kevin in order of preference because he has vision and can probably find me anywhere with the ball.

“He’s a great player, the whole team (City) is great. But I just try to play my game and not focus on anyone else.”

Though it’ll probably never happen, it would be interesting to see Salah and De Bruyne line up on the same side, and defences would no doubt have sleepless nights if it did.
