Ousmane Dembele Odds-On at 1/6 to Win 2025 Ballon d’Or After Stellar Season
The race for football’s most prestigious individual prize appears all but settled at least according to the latest odds with UK betting sites.
Ousmane Dembele is now 1/6 to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or, putting him in pole position following a standout season both domestically and internationally.
Having contributed decisively in both domestic and European competitions, Dembele’s form has rocketed him to the top of the betting with bet365, with very little separating him from the prize now.
Dembele’s output this season has been nothing short of outstanding, driving PSG to another domestic title while also playing a key role in their Champions League win.

What the expert says...
Chasing Pack Struggles to Keep Pace
Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal is next in line at 5/1, but with Dembele’s season hitting near-perfection, it would take something spectacular for the teenager to close the gap before voting concludes.
Further out, Vitinha (12/1) and Raphinha (16/1) are in the conversation, while Mohamed Salah is seen as a long shot at the same price.
Yamal was a short price contender earlier on in the season but Dembele and PSG's dominance has changed the market around.
