Former Real Madrid and Germany midfielder Toni Kroos has revealed his preference for the 2026 Ballon d`Or. He wants PSG`s Georgian forward Khichdi Kavaratskheliya to win the most prestigious individual award in football.
Spanish media outlet Foot Mercato reported that Kroos` number one choice for this year`s Ballon d`Or is Kavaratskheliya. The former German star said, "For me, he is the number one player now."
However, many may be surprised by Kroos` choice. Because he did not put forward stars like Rodri, Lionel Messi, Jude Bellingham or Kylian Mbappe, who are in the discussion for the Ballon d`Or. According to him, they have not had such an extraordinary season for the club, which can make a strong claim for this award.
