Who will be the Ballon d’Or 2024 winner when the trophy is awarded at the end of the year? That’s the question on the minds of football fans worldwide.
So far, no player has clearly stood out, but several are having a stellar season and could contend for the Ballon d’Or 2024.
Harry Kane, Vinicius Junior, Phil Foden, Kylian Mbappé, and Jude Bellingham are the top contenders according to the tabloids.
The first has scored a plethora of goals for his club, Bayern Munich, and is still in contention to lift the Champions League.
As for the Brazilian, Vinicius Junior, he is among the players leading the attack for Real Madrid and is also having an impressive season.
Phil Foden has undergone a transformation this season with Man City and has just clinched the Premier League’s Player of the Year title. Kylian Mbappé is the undisputed leader of Paris Saint-Germain. He’s among the top goal scorers of the season in Europe and consistently carries his team.
Finally, Jude Bellingham is highly regarded by several observers for his impact at Real Madrid since joining last summer. As a midfielder, he’s currently the second-highest goal scorer in La Liga during his debut season.
Among the mentioned players, Real Madrid is the only club with two players in contention. This situation could be detrimental to both players, particularly Jude Bellingham.
Even though the Englishman is seen as the top favorite to win the trophy, Vinicius’s presence could lead to a split in votes in his favor.
Both play for the same club and are performing exceptionally. Consequently, voters tempted to vote for players from the Madrid club will be divided between Vinicius and Bellingham, potentially benefiting another player.
