Lazio winger Pedro has overlooked players like Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembele in favor of Pedri as his top pick for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

The former Chelsea forward expressed a strong preference for the Barcelona midfielder, saying he would award him the highest possible score in the race for football’s most prestigious individual honor.

Pedri enjoyed an outstanding 2024/25 campaign with Barcelona, solidifying his place among the leading contenders for the coveted prize.

The Spanish star is expected to face stiff competition from players such as Dembele, Yamal, Raphinha, Mohamed Salah, and others.

When asked who deserves to win this year’s Ballon d’Or, Pedro told El Día de Tenerife (via Barca Blaugranes): “Of course I’d give Pedri the maximum score.”

“Then Lamine Yamal. And perhaps other candidates who are there are Dembélé or Raphinha, but I’d love for Pedri to win.

“For me there is no doubt: he’s the best in his position in the entire world.”
