Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric; Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, are the final three for the 2017/18 UEFA Player of the Year award.

One of them will be named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year in the award ceremony slated for August 30, in Monaco, France.

They were voted for by coaches and journalists across Europe, UEFA said on Monday.

“The shortlist of three players was selected by a jury comprising the 80 coaches of the clubs that participated in the group stages of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League (32) and UEFA Europa League (48), along with 55 journalists selected by the European Sports Media (ESM) group, representing each of UEFA’s member associations,” a UEFA statement reads.
