FIFA has unveiled the nominees for The Best 2025 award, which recognizes the best player of the year. Four players from Paris Saint-Germain are among them: Ousmane Dembélé (28 years old), Achraf Hakimi (27 years old), Vitinha (25 years old), and Nuno Mendes (23 years old). This demonstrates the growing influence of the Parisian club on the world stage.
Never before has Paris Saint-Germain had such a strong presence on such a prestigious list. The performances of Dembélé, who has become one of the best passers and goalscorers in Europe, those of Hakimi, a complete and decisive defender/attacker, and the clinical consistency of Vitinha and the rise of Nuno Mendes, all reflect Luis Enrique’s signature style: a team dominated by speed, technical precision, and versatility. PSG is no longer just a club of stars, but a machine for producing contenders for global awards.
All this thanks to an exceptional team that has brought out the best in every player. Facing them are giants like Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal, Cole Palmer, Mohamed Salah, Raphinha, and Pedri, but the idea that the best player in the world could be Parisian has never seemed so credible. Dembélé has already won the Ballon d’Or.
