France midfielder, Aurélien Tchouaméni has picked three players to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or.

In an interview with France 24, Tchouaméni chose three of his international teammates.

They are Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid), Michael Olise (Bayern Munich) and Ousmane Dembélé (PSG).

When asked which player he would give his vote to, Tchouaméni replied: “A difficult question, as there are many players who deserve it.

“Kylian Mbappé had an exceptional season, and I think he deserves it, as does Ousmane Dembélé after what he produced with Paris and his crowning once again in the UEFA Champions League. There is also Michael Olise.”

The winner of this year’s award will be announced on October 26.
