An unnamed Real Madrid star has reportedly already been informed that he will be crowned the Ballon d’Or winner next month in Paris.
Plans are apparently already in place to dedicate Madrid’s Nike store on the Gran Via in his honour with a golden theme and his image on display.
This year’s list of nominees includes Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Antonio Rudiger, and Federico Valverde from the current crop of Madrid stars, while the recently retired Toni Kroos is also on there.

Jude Bellingham also has his advocates after he enjoyed a record-breaking debut season in the Spanish capital.
According to Marca, it is Vinicius Jr. who ‘already knows’ that he has won the Ballon d’Or.
The Brazilian put the seal on their Champions League final win with a neat finish after 83 minutes to make it 2-0 over Borussia Dortmund.
