Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele believes the 2026 Ballon d'Or will once again be awarded to a player from the French club.
As reported by İdman.Biz, the France international, who won the award last year, shared his thoughts on this year's contenders in an interview with France Football. He said he does not consider the race to be uncertain and expects the trophy to remain at PSG.
"I don't think the outcome of this award is uncertain. In my opinion, it will remain in the hands of a PSG player," Dembele said.
The 28-year-old forward did not provide a specific ranking for his top three, instead naming teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe.
"My top three? In no particular order, Kvara, Harry Kane, who has had a very, very good season, and I think Kylian Mbappe," the Frenchman said.
Dembele declined to include himself among the candidates, emphasizing that he never gives himself preference when it comes to voting.
The PSG player also mentioned Michael Olise, Lamine Yamal, Fabian Ruiz and Willian Pacho as players capable of competing for the highest positions. He particularly stressed that Pacho should not be overlooked.
Kane, Yamal and Mbappe are also among the names widely discussed as leading contenders for this year's Ballon d'Or.
