26-year-old star playing for Aston Villa, Leon Bailey is believed to be a worthy successor for the position of «best player in the world» after Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo retire.

With Messi and Ronaldo gradually moving towards the other side of their careers, many fans are starting to look for successors for the «best player in the world» position.

Leon Bailey’s agent Craig Butler believes that the Aston Villa player could be one of the brightest candidates:

«There’s a lot more to come. I don’t think Leon Bailey has only shown 40% of his potential. In the future, I believe that one day he will become the best player in the world.

Messi is getting older, Cristiano is getting older, Neymar has injury problems and is getting older, and so will Mbappe. Leon Bailey has no limit to his potential.»

Bailey confirmed his talent when playing impressively at Genk (Belgium) and Leverkusen (Germany) before joining Aston Villa.

Leon Bailey has scored 12 goals and assisted 11 times for Aston Villa this season, being an important factor in the team’s journey to compete for the top 4 Premier League position.

With continuous development, Bailey promises to become one of the brightest stars in the world in the future.

However, Bailey will have to compete with other young talents such as Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala to win the title of «best player in the world». But if Bailey can maintain stability and continue to improve, the Jamaican player can completely achieve this goal.

Leon Bailey is currently tied to Aston Villa with a contract valid until 2027, with a 12-month extension clause. However, the 26-year-old player is said to be attracting attention from many big teams in Europe.
