2026 Ballon d'Or: Kylian Mbappe accused of vote buying - Daily Post Nigeria

Former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Jérôme Rothen accuses Kylian Mbappé of attempting to buy votes for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. Rothen claims the 27-year-old is deliberately positioning himself as a contender through public statements, which he views as a strategy to secure the award. He warns that if Mbappé wins, it could be seen as a travesty and may leave him isolated, amid strong competition from players like Messi, Kane, Yamal, and Dembélé. The award will be announced in London on October 26.
