The European superstars will battle it out to win the prestigious gong, currently held by Real Madrid‘s Luka Modric, in a ceremony held in Milan on September 23. All three names were recognized for their formidable achievements at both the front and rear of the pitch throughout the last year.
The trio is also set to contest in the final three of the Balon d’Or award, which is to be announced later this year – and van Dijk remains the current favorite.
