Shake-up in the Golden Boy top 10 as Rodrigo Mora climbs several spots | OneFootball

Rodrigo Mora increased his value in the Golden Boy Index, climbing 17 places compared to the July update. The FC Porto midfielder now holds 30th place, with a rating of 71.8, in a list where Geovany Quenda remains the highest-ranked Portuguese player, in 11th position.

There was only one change in the top 10 compared to the July update: Jorrel Hato, from Chelsea, entered directly into 9th place.

Lamine Yamal remains in first place, but since the Barcelona player already won the award last year (the organization allows a player to win only once), the highest-ranked eligible Portuguese player is the French international Desiré Doué, from PSG, with an index of 95.2.

The final update will be released in October, when the final list of the top 20 (and a wild card for five players) will be announced. This list will then be submitted to a vote by a panel of European journalists, which includes the newspaper A BOLA.

The Golden Boy is an award created by the Italian newspaper Tuttosport in 2004 to recognize the best under-21 player playing in a European league. Renato Sanches and João Félix are the only Portuguese players to have won it.
