Vinicius Junior is already 'aware' of his upcoming 2024 Ballon d'Or win, according to Marca's Jose Felix Diaz.
The Brazilian, his entourage and Real Madrid are all completely convinced he will receive the prize on October 28.
Nike have already prepared custom golden boots for the 24-year-old to wear at the ceremony. Besides, they reportedly plan to re-open one of their stores in Madrid to honour the attacker.
Seven Real Madrid players have made the 30-man Ballon d'Or shortlist, including Vinicius Jr. Most of them are expected to finish quite high in the overall rankings.
Vinicius Junior finished last season with 24 goals and 10 assists in 39 appearances for Real Madrid.
