Yan Diomande, Endrick, and Thiago are among the candidates for the 2026 Golden Boy Award, presented by the Italian sports daily Tuttosport, in collaboration with Transfermarkt, to the most outstanding footballer registered in one of the 25 strongest First Division Leagues in Europe and born on or after January 1, 2006.
The three Real Madrid players are part of the list of 100 candidates vying for this prestigious award. Tuttosport will update the ranking of candidates every month until October. From there, the list will be narrowed down to the top 20, from which an international jury of experts will select the 2026 Golden Boy.
FC Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsí seems to be the odds-on favorite to win the award after leading Spain’s defensive line during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
