Ousmane Dembélé
A bombshell revelation has just dropped. A corruption scheme to push Ousmane Dembélé toward winning the 2025 Ballon d'Or.
With just a week left before the 2025 Ballon d'Or is announced, a journalist claims he was approached to lead a campaign in favor of Ousmane Dembélé. The British outlet The Athletic investigated the story and uncovered a stunning twist.
According to the reports, it all started with a tweet last week from an Australian journalist. Neal Gardner revealed he was contacted by a communications agency offering him a "potential (paid) collaboration." The goal? To run a media campaign to bolster Ousmane Dembélé's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or.
"We are considering a one-month campaign aimed at sparking dialogue and amplifying the conversation around Ousmane Dembélé’s Ballon d’Or candidacy. Specifically, we would like to propose three carefully crafted tweets per week for a month, highlighting his performances, his impact, and general arguments supporting his recognition. Given your credibility and influence within the football community, your involvement would add significant weight to this conversation. At this stage, we are requesting your quotes for this mission," the email explains.

The accusations are quite serious and immediately sparked a flurry of reactions. The journalist, who closely follows FC Barcelona news, was accused of fabricating the entire story. According to his critics, the aim was to undermine Ousmane Dembélé's candidacy and thus give an edge to Lamine Yamal.
But it’s all true. Or at least, the email was indeed sent to Neal Gardner. The Athletic conducted their own investigation and found no connection to Ousmane Dembélé or his camp, Paris Saint-Germain, or the so-called “digital army” of the capital club.
It all traces back to an agency called Bangrr International, based in India, which describes itself on its website as a “next-generation marketing, advertising, and content powerhouse, redefining the storytelling of ultra-luxury brands.” The Athletic reached out to its founder, Ali Husain, who explained that the email received by Neal Gardner was actually sent by an 18-year-old intern, acting without the approval of his superiors.
