The Ballon d\u2019Or executives have been forced to speak out as rumours that Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid won\u2019t be attending Monday\u2019s ceremony emerge.<\/p>\n
The Ballon d\u2019Or winner will be revealed at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Ch\u00e2telet in Paris, with Vinicius Jr. and Rodri considered the frontrunners.<\/p>\n
Initially, MARCA suggested that Vinicius, the Real Madrid star, would win the prestigious award, but recent reports from RMC Sport\u2019s Fabrice Hawkins indicate he may not. He mentioned on social media that Vinicius\u2019s entourage believes he won\u2019t receive the Ballon d\u2019Or, a sentiment shared by many in Madrid.<\/p>\n
Following this, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Vinicius would not attend the awards ceremony, stating that Real Madrid is aware he won\u2019t win. He noted that no one from the club, including president Florentino P\u00e9rez, Vinicius, coach Carlo Ancelotti, or player Jude Bellingham, will be present.<\/p>\n
With Vinicius seemingly out of the running, reports suggest that Manchester City\u2019s Rodri is poised to take home the award. However, Ballon d\u2019Or executive Marc Las responded by asserting that only he and the head of France Football know the winner for 2024, calling anyone else who claims to know a liar.<\/p>\n
The winner will be revealed tonight at a highly anticipated event in Paris, despite Real Madrid\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n
Rodri commented on the award, stating, \u201cA Spaniard deserves to win. Spanish football deserves a Ballon d\u2019Or winner. Spain deserves a Ballon d\u2019Or.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
