Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia has been backed as a future Ballon d'Or contender, with observers drawing comparisons to Manchester City's Rodri. The 'phenomenon' praise highlights Lavia's impact since returning to fitness, with some in football believing he could follow the same path as the Spaniard, who won the 2024 award. Discussion is centred on whether the young Belgian can reach that level.
Why now: Fresh praise and a Rodri comparison have fuelled debate about Lavia's potential to challenge for football's top individual award.
