He's clearly biased, but according to his agent Jorge Mendes, Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to win the 2021 FIFA Ballon d'Or. It would be the sixth player of the year award of his career and put him on par with Lionel Messi for most all-time.
Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Jorginho are some of the names discussed as potential winners though a groundswell of support is building for Liverpool's Mohamed Salah based on his recent form.
Mendes feels he has done more than enough to win it despite ending last season with just one trophy to his name: the 2021 Italian Coppa Italia.
