The career by the Golden Boy of this year has begun and there will be big surprises. 'Tuttosport', recognised Italian newspaper, is in the research of the best player of 21 years of Europe during these months and are varied the candidates. Jude Bellingham, footballer of the Real Madrid, went the winner of the past edition, in 2023, winning him the game to António Silva (Benfica) and Giorgio Scalvini (Atalanta).
Before they had it livestock Gavi, in 2022, and Pedri González, in 2021. It exists the possibility that a player of the FC Barcelona can carry the recognised prize by fourth time in the history, remembering the case of Lionel Messi in 2004. Lamine Yamal splits like one of the big favourites to turn into the successor of Jude Bellingham after his explosion with the Catalan entity during this year, when it turned into a 'fixed' in the plans of Xavi Hernández.
In what it goes of course, has contested 31 parties with the Barcelona picture in which it has marked four goals. Also, with hardly 16 years, has debuted in the absolute selection of Spain and sum six parties, with two converted targets. It is a fixed in both teams and his explosion has been absolute, to the point that is called to be one of the big stars of the European football in the next years.
The candidates to the Golden Boy 2024
The player formed in The Masia is not the only in the list. Alejandro Garnacho (19) is being a key player in the Manchester United, in spite of the altibajos of the English picture. It does not split like the big favourite, but yes like one that will be in the contention, to the equal that Warren Zaïre-Emery, one of the big feelings of Paris Saint-Germain in this course. To his 18 years, is indisputable in the plans of Luis Enrique and one of the midfield players more talentosos in the old continent.
To principle of season was, probably, the big rival of Lamine Yamal, but in the beginning of 2024 went down his performance. Now, it has 'enchufado' in this end of season and aims to be key in the career of the PSG for carrying the triplete of Champions League, Tie 1 and Coupe of France. Very 'hover' has to Leny Yoro, the one who has turned into one of the most important pieces of Lille and one of the central more promising of Europe, with so alone 18 years. It has been indisputable in the French group and will not take in giving the 'jump' to the absolute selection with Didier Deschamps.
