The German former midfielder is also in the running for the award
German former midfielder Toni Kroos believes that he is the owner Ballon d’Or 2024 will become a midfielder for Manchester City and the Spanish national team Rhodri.
“Rodri will win the Ballon d’Or. I never attached importance to these individual awards in football, they have no place here,” Tony said.
Kroos retired after the 2024 European Championships. The ex-midfielder of Real Madrid and the German national team is among the contenders for the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
Rodri is considered the main favorite of the current Ballon d’Ore award. The midfielder this year won the English title, the FA Cup, and also became the European champion with the Spanish national team, receiving the award for the most valuable player of the tournament.
Let us remind you that the players who took 21st to 30th places in the voting for the Ballon d’Or (led by Bukayo Saka from Arsenal) became known earlier. The list was completed by two from Roma – Ukrainian Artem Dovbik and German Mats Hummels.
Another Ukrainian was supposed to arrive in the French capital – Real Madrid goalkeeper Andrei Lunin, who received a nomination for the prize for the best goalkeeper of the year. However, today the Madrid club canceled the visit of its delegation to the ceremony. Blancos are believed to have learned that winger Vinicius Junior, considered a top contender for the award, will not receive the Ballon d’Or tonight.
The awards ceremony for the 2024 Ballon d’Or winners takes place today, October 28. The traditional venue for the event is the Chatelet Theater in Paris.
