mofutbol.com's video: 30 Ballon D Or Nominees Revealed Has Been Revealed

France Football, who will be the sole organizer for the annual event Ballon d’Or following a split from FIFA, has been revealed 30 nominees on Monday 24th October, 2016. There are some new names aside from the names which are usually nominated for this award. Five-time winner and three-time winner Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who always play on their highest level, unsurprisingly are on the 30-man shortlist. However, Ronaldo’s chance to win this award is predictably bigger than the Argentine. Aside from the usual names, several new names rise in the shortlist such as Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. Jamie Vardy performed amazingly in season 2015-16 by scoring 24 goals, while his teammate Riyad Mahrez also had a big role in helping Leicester won Premier League last season. La Liga is the league which has the most representatives in this award with 13 representatives, followed by Premier League with 8 representatives. Meanwhile, Bundesliga, Serie-A, and Primeira Liga send 5, 3, and 1 names respectively. Moving on to Premier League updates. Chelsea target AS Roma’s defender Antonio Rudiger as their new signing in January 2017. Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is Rudiger’s admirer and reportedly will make him as a Chelsea new player next year. However Chelsea are not alone in this hunting since Manchester United and Manchester City also monitor the German defender. 35 million Pounds are reportedly the price needed to sign the 23-year-old.
