Carvajal is among the contenders from the victorious Spanish national team, along with Alejandro Grimaldo, Dani Olmo, Rodri, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.
Manchester City's Norwegian star Erling Haaland and England and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane are also on the list.
Xabi Alonso, who won the Bundesliga in an undefeated season with Bayer Leverkusen, is one of the favorites for the best coach title. His rivals are Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti and Spaniard Luis de la Fuente.
Meanwhile, Aitana Bonmati of Barcelona and Spain is said to be in the running to retain the women's Ballon d'Or.
Also nominated are former winners Ada Hegerberg and Alexia Putellas, as well as five members of the United States Olympic team who won gold medals, namely Sophia Smith, Malory Swanson, Trinity Rodman, Lindsey Horan and goalkeeper Alyssa Nager.
The Ballon d'Or award ceremony is scheduled to take place in Paris on October 28.
