Neymar, Paulo Dybala and N’Golo Kante are among the first five names announced as nominees for the 2017 Ballon d’Or award.
Real Madrid full-back Marcelo and team-mate Luka Modric also feature, with France Football releasing the full 30-man list in batches over the course of October 9.
Neymar has been recognised following an eventful year that has seen the Brazil star impress for both his national team and Barcelona, before his world-record summer transfer to PSG.
