FIFA Player of the Year: A Bayern star makes the shortlist | OneFootball

Harry Kane is in outstanding form at FC Bayern, and it appears that the Bayern star could soon be honored with a major individual award.

Harry Kane continues to make headlines: this time not just on the pitch, but also at the prestigious FIFA awards. The FC Bayern Munich striker has been named by FIFA to the shortlist of the ten best players of the year 2025.

This makes Kane one of the favorites for the “The Best FIFA Men’s Player” award, which is presented annually to the world’s outstanding footballer. The nomination confirms Kane’s continued excellence. This season, the center-forward has scored crucial goals for Munich in the Bundesliga, the Champions League, and the DFB-Pokal, and has shown world-class form regardless of the competition.

With his goal-scoring threat, precision, and experience, he remains an indispensable part of Vincent Kompany’s successful Bayern team. Alongside Kane, several stars from Europe’s top leagues are also on the list.

Paris Saint-Germain is represented by Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, and Nuno Mendes, while FC Barcelona has three candidates: Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Raphinha. Kane, meanwhile, is the only Bayern star to make the shortlist.

The shortlist is rounded out by Cole Palmer from Chelsea, Mohamed Salah from Liverpool, and Kylian Mbappé from Real Madrid. So far this season, Kane has scored 22 goals and provided three assists in 16 matches. Under Kompany, Kane has recently played not only as a striker but also switched to the central attacking midfield position against Borussia Dortmund.

There, as he himself explained, he played “one of my best games.” Next Saturday afternoon, Bayern will play in Berlin (3:30 p.m. against Union Berlin).
