Paris Saint-Germain this year will likely have as many as 10 of its players among the 30 candidates for the 2026 Ballon d'Or award.

If this prediction from journalist Ben Jacobs comes true, the French club will improve its election record – in 2025, nine PSG players made it to the final candidate list.

It is expected that this year among the candidates will be Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola (now representing Liverpool), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, Vitinha, Fabien Ruiz, João Neves, William Pacho, Achraf Hakimi, and Nuno Mendes.

If the prediction comes true, PSG will have players in nearly every position on the field.
