Marca, one of Spain's leading sports newspapers, has claimed that Real Madrid's Brazilian star Vinicius Junior will win the 2024 Ballon d’Or award.
Reporting the news on its front page, Marca stated that Vinicius has been informed that he will win the award.
Accordingly, Vinicius will also be briefed on protocol rules, photo shoots, and interviews.
The award ceremony will be held in Paris on October 28.
Vinicius, who won both La Liga and the Champions League titles with Real Madrid last season, had drawn attention with his performance, especially since February.
Recording 15 goals and 5 assists in 26 La Liga matches and 6 goals and 4 assists in 10 Champions League matches last season, Vinicius made 11 of his goal contributions in La Liga against teams ranked in the top 10.
The 24-year-old superstar scored 2 goals in the Champions League semi-finals and 1 goal in the final.
REAL MADRID COULD SURPASS ITS ARCH-RIVAL
Vinicius's national team performance had been debated due to an injury he suffered early last season that kept him out of action for two months. Brazil, with Vinicius as a leading player, was eliminated by Uruguay in the quarter-finals of the Copa America, a match in which Vinicius could not play due to suspension.
If Vinicius finishes first in the voting, he will win the award for the first time. If a Real Madrid player wins the award, the Madrid team will surpass Barcelona to become the club with the most Ballon d'Or winners, with 13.
On the other hand, Vinicius would be the 4th Real Madrid player to win this award in the last 10 years, following Cristiano Ronaldo (3), Modric, and Benzema.
