Ballon d’Or 2025 Power Rankings: Who are the Top 20 Contenders?
Discover the top 20 Ballon d’Or contenders following the conclusion of the FIFA Club World Cup that witnessed some major shifts.
Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia have all been placed in the so-called ‘bomb squad’ and are expected to leave the club before the transfer window closes.
This follows the earlier departures of Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof, whose contracts expired, and the retirement of veteran defender Jonny Evans, who now takes up a strategic role overseeing the club's loan system.
Rashford Barcelona-bound in dramatic exit
One of the most notable names on the departure list is Marcus Rashford, who is edging closer to a dream move to Barcelona.
The England international, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, is poised to join the Spanish giants on an initial loan with an option to buy. The deal has been approved by new Barcelona boss Hansi Flick, and final negotiations with Manchester United are nearing completion.
Rashford has long hinted at a move to La Liga, saying in June: "Spain is nice, it's not too far from home. If I'm training over a long period, my family can come for a few days, it's a nice location and good weather."
