Popular football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is currently trending online after predicting Lamine Yamal as the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner. He tipped the 17 year old Barcelona player ahead of Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.

According to Romano, while players like Haaland and Mbappe continue to perform at a “super level,” Lamine Yamal is playing “on another level” entirely considering his age and how he performed in the 2024/25 season.

Lamine Yamal winning the Ballon d’Or? Yes. I talk with colleagues, journalists and the magic that Lamine gives you—nobody else can.”
