#8 Antoine Griezmann

Let us be honest. Antoine Griezmann is one of the most deserving candidates to win Ballon d’Or 2018 after the successful World Cup campaign with France. He has also come out in the open multiple times staking his claim to win the Ballon d’Or 2018 trophy.

Antoine Griezmann is valued at 108 million pounds and comes up at No. 8 in our list. Let us see if he can be the first Atletico Madrid player to win the Ballon d’Or.

#7 Eden Hazard

For anyone knowing the quality that he brings on the football ground, considers him to be a great player worthy of winning Ballon d’Or. The 27-year-old Belgium footballer is presently playing at Chelsea FC is valued at 108 million pounds and comes at No.7 in our list.

He is a strong contender for Ballon d’Or and is a deserving nomination too. But he himself believes that he is not a strong contender to win the Ballon d’Or 2018 trophy

#6 Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne is part of the 30-man shortlist announced by France Football for Ballon d’Or 2018. The 27-year-old Belgium international is presently playing at Manchester City as an attacking midfielder and is a widely overlooked candidate.

He is presently valued at 135 million pounds and is ranked at No.6 in our list.

#5 Harry Kane

Harry Kane has a market valuation of 135 million pounds and is ranked at No.5 in our list. Presently playing for the Spurs, he is not considered as a top contender to win the Ballon d’Or 2018.

The tall England forward is a deserving candidate to be part of the 30-man shortlist of Ballon d’Or 2018 considering the decent run England have had in the World Cup 2018. Harry Kane had ended up being the top scorer in the tournament and had won the Golden Boot award.
