The Real Madrid winger, 24, finished second in this year’s competition to Manchester City’s Rodri in controversial circumstances.
The European champions said their representatives would not go where Real are “not respected” after learning Vinicius would miss out on the top prize.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti and forward Kylian Mbappe both won individual honours but neither was present to receive their award.
Vinicius Jr is followed in the market by Manchester City talisman Erling Haaland at 9/2, Kylian Mbappe at 5/1 and Kopa Trophy winner Lamine Yamal further back at 7/1.

Third-placed in the 2024 award Jude Bellingham also features in the running at 10/1, with Premier League trio Mohamed Salah (25/1), Cole Palmer (25/1) and Phil Foden (28/1) considered the next best hopes for the English top flight.
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Vinicius Jr was pipped to the finish line by Rodri in last night’s Ballon d’Or ceremony but the Brazilian is the early frontrunner with us to win next year’s competition.
“Vinicius is favoured ahead of a host of the world’s best, with Erling Haaland next in the market at 9/2, followed by Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal.
“Long-time favourite for this year’s award Jude Bellingham is a 10/1 shot, with fellow Englishman Harry Kane priced up at 16/1.”
