Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez has emerged as a top contender for the Ballon d’Or after a standout performance in the Copa América, Soccernet.football reports.

The prestigious award ceremony is set for October 28.

Following a summer of thrilling football in the European Championship and Copa América, the new season is about to start, bringing with it the anticipation of the Ballon d’Or, one of the highest individual honours in football.

The recent international tournaments have clarified the leading candidates for the Ballon d’Or, with some players benefiting more than others.

According to France Football, the organization behind the award, these tournaments have influenced the rankings.
