Norway coach Stale Solbakken says Manchester City striker Erling Haaland isn't ready for the Ballon d'Or.
Solbakken feels Inter Miami star Leo Messi will win the title.
"It's probably between Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Erling," he said. "And then there are some outsiders under there. If you ask who I think will win, I think Messi will win because of the World Cup. There is always an emphasis on this year with the World Cup.
"Mbappé was there too.
"Then Erling has top scorer titles, he has broken records and all the 'player of the year' titles in England, plus he won the most prestigious club tournament. He also stands strong."
