Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal leads the way, as he bids to retain the trophy he won last year.
Paris Saint-Germain's Desire Doue, Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi and Real Madrid centre-back Dejan Huijsen are next on the list.
Yamal is in line to become the first-ever youngster to win the prize, started by Tuttosport in 2003, twice and would ensure four of the last five victors played for Barcelona.
Current Red Matthijs de Ligt is the only defender to land the accolade, following his exploits with Ajax in 2018.
