Liverpool who are Premier League giants could be losing Senegal international Sadio Mane who has been linked with a move to Barcelona where he feels Ballon d'Or can be won by him.

In the history of football, only George Weah who is now the president of Liberia has won the Ballon d'Or award and efforts by other players to do so have been futile.

The likes of Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto'o and Emmanuel Adebayor tried their best, but none of these African players won the Ballon d'Or.
