This year’s Ballon d’Or nomination is for some of the well-known figures at Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea who can receive prestigious awards.
After their Premier League title success, Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and Alexis Mac Allister are on the list, with the new Reds signing Florian Wirtz.
Chelsea also put Cole Palmer there after the club’s World Cup title, while Arsenal duo Declan Rice and Viktor Gyokeres were on the roster.
However, it is believed that the big favorite will be one of the Barcelona duo Lamine Yamal or Raphinha, or the Champions League success after Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembele.

Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski are just other superstar names on this list.
Who will win 2025 Ballon d’Or?
Yamal and Raphinha seem to be two big names as they won the La Liga and reached the Champions League semifinal, which is a great for Barcelona.
But will the lack of European success cost the Barcelona duo? PSG continues to win competitions, and many people will feel that Dembele is their excellent performer.
Still, Luis Enrique’s team also has a few other star performers who deserve the winners like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha, Desive Doue and Achraf Hakimi, who are also in the last 30.
Liverpool fans will definitely feel that Salah does not have enough respect for not being the favorite, so can he play some early forms that might be stuck in the final ranking?
Do you think *should* win 2025 Ballon d’Or, who do you predict *will* win it? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments!
