Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has tipped Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or ahead of established stars Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
According to Romano, while Mbappe and Haaland are on a "super level," the 17-year-old Spanish international is operating "on another level" entirely.
Yamal enjoyed a spectacular 2024/25 season with Barcelona, playing a crucial role in the club's LaLiga title and Copa del Rey triumph under manager Hansi Flick.
Romano's Bold Prediction
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano expressed his admiration for the young winger: "For me, Lamine Yamal is on another level. There are many players on a super level like Haaland and Mbappé, but what Lamine does at his age is incredible."
The transfer expert added: "Lamine Yamal winning the Ballon d'Or? Yes. I talk with colleagues, journalists and the magic that Lamine gives you, nobody else can."
Yamal is expected to compete for football's most prestigious individual award against established stars including Mbappe, Haaland, Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha, Pedri, Mohamed Salah, and others.
The Spanish wonderkid's meteoric rise has captured the attention of football enthusiasts worldwide, with his technical ability and maturity belying his young age.
Should Yamal win the award, he would become one of the youngest Ballon d'Or recipients in history, further cementing his status as one of football's brightest talents.
