Today, the winners of the prestigious Ballon d’Or awards organized by France Football will be unveiled. The ceremony is scheduled to commence at 16:00 Brasília time at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Among the various categories is the Kopa Trophy, which honors the best U-21 player in the world. Young Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is the frontrunner for this accolade. At just 17 years old, he is a key player for Barcelona and a standout in the current Spain national team.
Currently representing Manchester City in England, Savinho is one of the award finalists. The forward is competing against talents such as Argentina’s Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United and France’s Warren Emery from PSG, in addition to the heavily favored Lamine Yamal. The Galo prodigy had an impressive season at Girona and subsequently signed with Manchester City, Pep Guardiola’s leading club in the City Group. He has been carving out his place as a starter in English football and the Brazilian national team.
Savinho, now 20, completed his development at Atlético-MG. He played 35 matches for the senior team before being transferred in 2022. The forward has expressed his intention to return to Galo in the future, as he has a strong identification with the fans, who hold a special affection for the young talent. If Yamal fails to live up to the expectations and Savinho clinches the award, he will become the first Brazilian to win this trophy. We will learn about the winners at 16:00, with the former Atlético player being present in the U-21 players category.
