Kylian Mbappe is next in the betting at 4/1.
The French sensation finished third behind Erling Haaland and eight-time winner Lionel Messi in the 2023 awards.
But another excellent campaign with Paris Saint-Germain and France at next summer’s European Championships in Germany could propel him to Ballon d’Or glory.
