The race for the Ballon d’Or is in full swing, which accounts for the surge in reports, rumors, and comments about this top individual accolade in football. Scheduled to be presented by France Football in October, the award’s potential winners are all linked to Real Madrid.
The names dominating the conversation for the Ballon d’Or are Toni Kroos, Vinicius Junior, Dani Carvajal, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappe, with one of them expected to claim the prize. Nonetheless, James Rodriguez has pointed out that France Football seems to have a preferred candidate, a detail that has caught the attention of social media recently.
James Rodriguez commented, “My top pick for the Ballon d’Or in 2024? Based on titles, Dani Carvajal has fought hard and performed well. As for Bellingham, I’m unsure. Vinicius didn’t impress in the Copa America.” Given that James has shared the field with both the Spaniard and the Brazilian, his opinions carry considerable weight and merit close attention.
