It’s much tougher now since the step down from peak CR7 and Messi is huge.
If the Copa America and Euro 2024 are considerable factors, then I think Lautaro Martinez might have a shot at it too, for Vini and Bellingham, their chances are rather more dim now with Rodri also having had a special season, he wasn't bad in the PL this season and despite not making the finals of the Champions and winning it like Vini and Bellingham, I think his standout performance in the Euro would have place right on the same level with the supposed favorites, Vini and Brazil were way below par in the Copa America so, it really is going to be a very close margin now.
Who will be named the Golden Ball in 2024, perhaps a question that is difficult to answer immediately for many world football fans. Euro and Copa America take place at the same time with many exciting competitions and many surprises. However, competing for the Golden Ball is never easy. Lautaro Martinez will have to face strong opponents like Vinicius, Rodri, or Bellingham.
If talking about Rodri with the Euro 2024 Championship, Lautaro Martinez of Argentina is also a bright candidate for the Golden Ball. Martinez had the most successful season of his career to date, winning the Serie A Championship with Inter Milan and the Copa America Championship with Argentina. In the individual category, Martinez won the title of Serie A top scorer and was the best player of the tournament. This striker also won the Copa America top scorer title. So with the titles he has won, Lautaro Martinez deserves to win the award but to be honored he needs a lot of luck.
