The favorite to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or is Ousmane Dembele of Paris Saint- Germain, according to current betting odds and expert predictions. He had a stellar season, contributing 43 goal involvements in 44 Ligue 1 and Champions League matches and helping PSG win a historic treble. His main competition comes from Barcelona's young star Lamine Yamal, who had an impressive season with 18 goals and 25 assists, helping Barca win La Liga and the Copa del Rey. Other notable contenders include Mohamed Salah, Vitinha, and Kylian Mbappe, but Dembele is seen as the clear front-runner to claim the award this year.
