Ousmane Dembele odds-on favourite for 2025 Ballon D’Or

Following the nominations for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, Paris Saint Germain front-man Ousmane Dembele is the firm favourite to win the award.

The French striker is odds-on at 1/4 to win the award – representing an 80% chance of victory, and rightly so.

This short price is justified when you look at his extensive trophy haul from last season, which included winning Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, the French Super Cup, as well as the Champions League. He also won the UEFA Champions League Player of the Season award.

Dembele (1/4) sits comfortably at the top of the betting, with his closest competitors being Lamine Yamal (3/1) and fellow PSG teammate Vitinha (10/1).

Ousmane Dembele                      1/4

Lamine Yamal                                3/1

Vitinha                                              10/1

Mohammed Salah                        20/1

Cole Palmer                                    20/1

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “After FIFA’s release of the nominations for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, the money is for one man – Ousmane Demeble.

“The PSG forward is heavily odds-on for the prestigious individual honour at 1/4 after spearheading PSG to four pieces of silverware last season.

“Barcelona man Lamine Yamal will no doubt be in the reckoning for the award for years to come, he’s next in the betting at 3/1 but it looks as though he may fall just short this time around.”
