Salah's spectacular season continued on Tuesday, scoring twice and setting up two others to lead Liverpool to a 5-2 win over Roma in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
The Egypt international has netted 43 goals in 47 games in all competitions in his first campaign at Anfield.
Lovren said those performances meant Salah should be among the main contenders for the Ballon d'Or alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"He is the one. He is becoming the superstar. It looks easy what he does but it is very difficult," Lovren told UK newspapers.
