As of now, Rodri is emerging as the frontrunner for the 2024 Ballon d'Or, particularly following his pivotal role in Manchester City's successes. Vinicius Jr.'s absence from the event raises questions about his chances, while Lionel Messi's non-participation this year marks a significant change in the usual narrative. Keep an eye out for updates as the awards ceremony unfolds!
The Brazil international, 24, is not attending today’s ceremony in Paris in anticipation of the outcome.

Lauren James and Barbra Banda also feature prominently in the rankings. Stay tuned for more updates as the remaining positions are announced!
The unconfirmed but widely-shared list shows Vinicius Junior top of the standings with 630 points, which is significantly more than Lionel Messi won with in 2023, but not as much as Messi in 2019 (686), Luka Modric in 2018 (753) or Cristiano Ronaldo in 2017 (946). If accurate, Manchester City midfielder Rodri has finished second with 576 points, with Jude Bellingham in third on 422.
