Van Dijk’s Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah is listed in third, just ahead of five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi and Ronaldo have won the award more times than any other player, but their 10-year dominance was broken last year by Real Madrid’s Luka Modric.
The award celebrates the best footballer in the calendar year, and is voted on by journalists from around the world out of a shortlist of 30 players.
