Mohamed Salah: The Front-Runner for the 2025 Ballon d'Or

Goal.com website, which regularly updates its dynamic ranking of Ballon d'Or contenders throughout the season, has once again refreshed its list. The result is rather predictable—at the top stands Mohamed Salah, who, thanks to his dazzling performances for Liverpool, currently has no real competition in the race for the prestigious award.

However, it's important to note that the decisive stages of the Champions League lie ahead, and results from these matches often play a significant role in influencing the voting for the next winner. As of now, here’s how the contenders rank:

1. Mohamed Salah, Liverpool
2. Raphinha, Barcelona
3. Lamine Yamal, Barcelona
4. Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona
5. Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid
6. Vinícius Júnior, Real Madrid
7. Harry Kane, Bayern Munich
8. Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid
9. Jamal Musiala, Bayern Munich
10. Florian Wirtz, Bayer Leverkusen
