Salah also returns to the final three as the Liverpool forward ended last season with 34 goals and 23 assists in 52 appearances including winning the Premier League title with the Reds.
Hakimi completes the trio after a standout season with Paris Saint-Germain, where he lifted multiple trophies including the UEFA Champions League, Super Cup, and domestic titles, contributing 11 goals and 16 assists across 55 games.
