Fabrizio Romano and many reputable journalists simultaneously reported that Rodri Vinicius in the 2024 Ballon d’Or race, the Man City midfielder will be named at tonight’s awards ceremony.

In the most recent share on X, journalist Fabrizio Romano said: “Vinicius Jr. will NOT go to Paris because Real Madrid knows he will NOT win the Ballon d’Or. No one from Real Madrid will attend the ceremony. No Florentino Pérez, no Vini Jr., no Carlo Ancelotti, no Jude Bellingham”.

Journalist Jose Luis Sanchez from El Chiringuito TV station and several other sources from Spain also revealed that: “Vinicius Jr., the 24-year-old star of Real Madrid, is not the winner of the 2024 Ballon d’Or as many predicted before”. Meanwhile, journalist Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport revealed: “The Brazilian player’s entourage is now convinced that Vinicius will not win this coveted award”.

Recently, experts still consider Vinicius to be the leading candidate for the 2024 Ballon d’Or. According to some revealed information, the Brazilian player was even informed in advance about the possibility of winning the award. However, a surprise occurred when, according to new sources, Manchester City midfielder Rodri was the one chosen to be honored with the 2024 Ballon d’Or. Rodri had a successful season when he contributed greatly to Manchester City’s treble with the Premier League championship and especially the UEFA Euro 2024 championship with the Spanish team.

Vinicius is said to have won second place in the vote for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, ahead of Jude Bellingham, his teammate at Real Madrid, who came in third. In addition, names like Dani Carvajal and Lautaro Martinez also appear in the top candidates competing for this title.
