Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid will reportedly skip the Ballon d\u2019Or ceremony as a major twist emerges.<\/p>\n
The winner of the 2024 Ballon d\u2019Or will be revealed on Monday night at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris.<\/p>\n
Before the event, top contenders like Vinicius, Rodri, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappe are being considered for the award.<\/p>\n
Vinicius had previously been seen as the leading candidate for this prestigious honor.<\/p>\n
However, just hours before the ceremony, there\u2019s been a significant turn of events.<\/p>\n
RMC Sport\u2019s Fabrice Hawkins reported on social media that Vinicius Jr.\u2019s team now believes he will not win the Ballon d\u2019Or, and there is a general sentiment in Madrid reflecting this uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Additionally, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has stated that Madrid will not be attending the ceremony in Paris.<\/p>\n
He posted on X: \u201cBREAKING: Vinicius Jr will NOT travel to Paris as Real Madrid believes he will NOT win the Ballon d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one from Real Madrid will be at the ceremony\u2014no Florentino P\u00e9rez, no Vini Jr, no Carlo Ancelotti, no Jude Bellingham.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fabrice Hawkins added that Real Madrid\u2019s directors are outraged and are convinced Vini Jr will not win. The club\u2019s delegation is staying in Spain, and the trip to Paris is off.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest Manchester City\u2019s Rodri may be named the Ballon d\u2019Or winner, potentially ahead of Vinicius and Bellingham.<\/p>\n
We won\u2019t know for certain until the announcement is made tonight during the highly anticipated event in Paris.<\/p>\n
Rodri previously commented on the award, stating: \u201cA Spaniard deserves to win. Spanish football deserves a Ballon d\u2019Or winner. Spain deserves to win a Ballon d\u2019Or.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
