The Nigerian also got votes from Rafael Leao and even his teammate Khivcha Kvaratskelia, despite being Osimhen’s closest competitor for the award. Stanislas Lobotka and Giovanni Dic Lorenzo, however, opted for their European teammate, voting Kvaratskhelia as Player of the Year.

Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglou paid respect to Osimhen but stated that he voted for Kvaratskhelia. His teammate, Bastoni, on the other hand, as well as Milan’s Mike Maignan, voted for the Nigerian.

Barella voted for Di Lorenzo, while Min-Jae who now plays for Bayern Munich, and Milan’s Theo Hernandez were not on the podium.
