Golden Boy race: Porto star on the brink of the top five | OneFootball

Victor Froholdt, FC Porto midfielder, is well placed in the race for the 2026 Golden Boy, an award given by the Italian newspaper Tuttosport to the best under-20 player competing in Europe. In the past, the prize was won by Renato Sanches in 2016 and João Félix in 2019.

The latest update of Transfermarkt’s statistical and technological ranking, used to filter the candidates for the Tuttosport award, allowed the Dane to climb another place into the top 10, strengthening his bid.

Gianluca Prestianni, Benfica’s only representative on the list, held his position and remains among the top 30. Among the Portuguese players, Martim Fernandes and Quenda moved up, while Rodrigo Mora, João Simões and Diogo Sousa dropped a few places.

Lamine Yamal is the new leader, pushing the previous first-placed player down to second. Even so, the Barcelona winger, winner in 2024, can no longer win the award again, although he remains included in the ranking.
