Weather of Arabia - Press reports revealed the most prominent candidates to win the Ballon d'Or for the year 2024, to succeed the legend Lionel Messi, in light of the notable absence of many football stars such as Florian Wirtz, the Bayer Leverkusen player, and Vinicius Junior, the Real Madrid playmaker.

The Champions League competitions, along with the Euro and Copa America, are expected to be decisive factors in determining the winner of the most prestigious award in the world of football.

These are the leading candidates to win the Ballon d'Or in 2024

Norwegian Erling Haaland: Manchester City, England

Haaland is a strong contender for the award thanks to his amazing goals in his first season with Manchester City, achieving the treble in the league, the FA Cup and the Champions League. However, his team's exit from the Champions League and Norway's failure to qualify for the European Nations may affect his chances.

Frenchman Kylian Mbappe: Paris Saint-Germain

Mbappe is considered one of the names nominated for the award after his distinguished performance with Paris Saint-Germain and his brilliance in the Champions League. But his chances may be linked to his outstanding performance with the French national team in the European Nations Cup.

English Harry Kane: Bayern Munich, Germany

Kane is an impressive individual performer for Bayern Munich, and could play a major role in the competition for the award if he continues to rack up goals and assists and lead England to success at the European Nations Cup.

Englishman Jude Bellingham: Real Madrid of Spain

Thanks to his excellent performances for Real Madrid, Bellingham is considered one of the strong favorites to win the award this season. If he leads his team to victory in the Champions League, and the Euros are a success for England, it could increase his chances of winning the award.
