Newcastle United star, Bruno Guimaraes has opined that Vinicius Junior should win the 2024 Ballon d’Or award no matter what.
Bruno and Vini have shared the pitch in 10 matches across competitions for Brazil.
They are currently preparing to represent their country in the Copa America in late June.
Asked by TNT Sports about who he thinks should claim this year’s most prestigious individual award in football, Guimaraes said, “I believe it could be fundamental, I believe that from my point of view, Vini has to be, no matter what happens.
“But I’m not the one who votes, I’m not the one who does these things, so I believe it could weigh on him.
“We’re going to do our best here to help Vini too because he’s a kid who deserves it a lot and for me he’s already the best in the world.”
