Kane scored six goals in North America, though it is perhaps his performances with Bayern Munich in 2025-26 which have led to such a short price here. The 32-year-old netted a ridiculous 61 times in just 51 appearances across all competitions last season, helping the Bavarians win a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double. A Ballon d\u2019Or winner without a World Cup or Champions League winner medal? If anyone deserves to achieve that feat this year, it is Kane.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Lamine Yamal &#8211; 3.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yamal\u2019s odds have tumbled since Spain\u2019s World Cup success in New Jersey, which is not surprising. But the fact of the matter is the Barcelona teenager\u2019s individual campaign was average at best. Yamal scored one goal and failed to record an assist in eight appearances, which is well below his incredibly high standards. A pre-tournament hamstring injury did not help matters, and it must also be said that Yamal\u2019s numbers at Barcelona in 2025-26 (24 goals and 18 assists in 45 appearances) are extraordinarily good. When in full flow, the teenager is probably the best player on the planet, and no one would really begrudge him getting his hands on a Ballon d\u2019Or before his 20th birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Rodri &#8211; 4.50<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rodri won the Ballon d\u2019Or back in 2024 after guiding Spain to glory at Euro 2024. The midfield metronome played a vital role in La Roja\u2019s World Cup success, and was deservedly handed the Golden Ball award after full-time. An injury-interrupted few years at Manchester City almost made people forget just how good Rodri is, but this summer was a timely reminder of his quality &#8211; which is right up there with other Spanish all-time greats such as Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernandez and Xabi Alonso. If recency bias rears its head in the Ballon d\u2019Or voting, Rodri should be the main benefactor!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Kylian Mbappe &#8211; 6.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a goal-filled campaign with Real Madrid (42 in 44 appearances), albeit without collecting a major trophy, Mbappe lit up the World Cup stage once again. France\u2019s captain scored 10 times on his way to collecting a second consecutive Golden Boot, and he is also now the tournament\u2019s all-time leading goal-getter with 22 strikes overall. The numbers are seriously impressive, but the total absence of silverware over the past 12 months means it is highly unlikely that Mbappe collects the Ballon d&#8217;Or this year. But at 27, age is still on the Frenchman\u2019s side.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Lionel Messi &#8211; 11.00<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Argentina had won back-to-back World Cups, a ninth Ballon d\u2019Or for Messi felt inevitable. But after La Albiceleste\u2019s failure vs Spain in New Jersey, it is hard to see how the 39-year-old can get his hands on the prize &#8211; and the odds here reflect that. Messi scored eight goals and tallied four assists at World Cup 2026, but failed to deliver anything of note in the final defeat to Spain. Furthermore, Messi now plays outside of Europe with Inter Miami, which only further harms his chances here &#8211; even with 12 goals and seven assists from 14 MLS outings to his name so far this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who else is a contender for the 2026 Ballon d\u2019Or?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ousmane Dembele &#8211; 17.00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fabian Ruiz &#8211; 17.00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Khvicha Kvaratskhelia &#8211; 21.00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pau Cubarsi &#8211; 23.00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael Olise &#8211; 26.00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jude Bellingham &#8211; 26.00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erling Haaland &#8211; 51.00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you choose NetBet Sport, you can enjoy a whole range of top-quality sports and markets.
