The new Real Madrid footballer, Jude Bellingham, has established himself as one of the most prominent figures at the start of the 2023-24 season of La Liga in Spain and for this reason, he stands as one of the main candidates to win the 2023 Golden Boy trophy that is awarded by FIFA to the best youth player of the year.
Now the new merengue signing increased his favoritism to lift this award by being supported by the legion of followers of the American singer Taylor Swift, who started a campaign to vote in his favor for the award that awards the best 21-year-old player of the season .
The Italian newspaper, Tuttosport, announced to sports fans the candidates to win this award, in which Alejandro Balde had the most votes. However, the result changed drastically in favor of English with support from 30% to 89% of the vote in just a few minutes.
For its part, the Twitter Football account reported that this change in the balance of results is due to the campaign carried out by Taylor Swift fans; The reason for this move is precisely because the FC Barcelona player explained during an interview that he “doesn’t like” the music of the American singer.
This fact generated the displeasure of the followers of the American artist and they began to favor the Real Madrid player in order to win him the Golden Boy award; It is important to remember that this award is still in the phase prior to the final vote and the choice is made by a professional public.
Among the list of candidates to win this award are:
- Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich)
- Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
- Gavi (FC Barcelona)
- Antonio Silva (SL Benfica)
- Alejandro Balde (FC Barcelona)
- Xavi Simons (PSV Eindhoven)
