Vitinha has given his thoughts on who deserves the 2026 Ballon d'Or.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha has given his thoughts on the main candidates for the 2026 Ballon d'Or.

The Portuguese player has made it clear that he will support his teammates in the competition first and foremost. He also praised the potential of players playing for other leading European clubs.

"There are so many great players who could win the award this year. Of course, I would like one of the PSG players to win it. For example, I can point to Khvicha Kvaratsheliya for his brilliant performances in the Champions League, Ousmane Dembele for his brilliant season or Fabian Ruiz for winning all the trophies. But there are also worthy candidates who have had brilliant seasons in other teams. Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe are among them. Maybe I have forgotten some names, but my choice is a member of the Paris club," said Vitinha.

For information, the current winner of this award is PSG player Ousmane Dembele. The Ballon d'Or award ceremony will be held in London on October 26 of this year.
