Ballon d'Or 2025 Odds
Ballon d'Or 2025 Contenders: Who To Bet On?
In this section we run through the main names in the frame to win the Ballon d'Or in 2025.
Ousmane Dembele: 4/11
Ousmane Dembélé had a sensational 2024/25 season at PSG, playing a pivotal role in their quadruple-winning campaign. Dembélé accumulated over 30 goals across all competitions and, having also hit double digits in assists, individual accolades are almost certain to follow for the in-form Frenchman, who is now the clear favourite to win the Ballon d'Or.
Lamine Yamal: 4/1
Where do you even begin with Lamine Yamal? After helping Spain win the European Championship at just 17 years old - having only turned 17 on the eve of the final - the teenage prodigy has gone on to enjoy a remarkable season with Barcelona, lifting La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup in a stunning domestic treble.
Mo Salah: 9/1
Mohamed Salah is on the verge of making Premier League history, needing just one more goal to break the record for the most goal contributions in a single season. With 28 goals and 18 assists to his name, his output has been nothing short of extraordinary - and absolutely vital to Liverpool’s title-winning campaign. However, Liverpool's early exit from Europe could hinder his chances for Ballon d'Or glory.
Raphinha: 9/1
Raphinha has been instrumental in Barcelona’s domestic treble, racking up close to 60 goal involvements in a standout season. The Brazilian winger also looks set to win the Champions League Golden Boot. With flair, creativity, and end product in abundance, Raphinha has elevated his game to spectacular new heights, making him one of the most entertaining players to watch in the world right now.
Gianluigi Donnarumma: 18/1
Much like his PSG teammate Ousmane Dembele, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has earned widespread acclaim for a string of outstanding performances during PSG's historic 2024/25 season. While it's incredibly rare for a goalkeeper to win the Ballon d’Or - a feat only achieved by Lev Yashin in 1963 - Donnarumma catches the eye at 18/1 in the betting to win the game’s most prestigious individual honour.
