2024-25 Serie A MVP Nominees Announced
The Serie A season has thrown up consistent elite performances from its usual suspects, but newcomers to the league and breakout stars have also stolen the limelight in equal measure.
Serie A permutations for the title race, European qualification and relegation still leaves a lot to be confirmed ahead of the final gameweek, but Lega Serie A has already announced its candidates for the Team of the Season.
It includes Serie A MVP nominees Scott McTominay, Moise Kean and league top scorer Mateo Retegui, who all stand a chance of being named the season’s best player.
The Serie A Team of the Season nominees are listed by position, with the three best players in each named and listed below.
Top Under-23 Players
- Sebastiano Esposito (Empoli)
- Nico Paz (Como)
- Kenan Yildiz (Juventus)
Goalkeepers
- David De Gea (Fiorentina)
- Vanja Milinkovic-Savic (Torino)
- Mile Svilar (Roma)
Defenders
- Alessandro Bastoni (Inter)
- Alessandro Buongiorno (Napoli)
- Nuno Tavares (Lazio)
Midfielders
- Nicolò Barella (Inter)
- Scott McTominay (Napoli)
- Tijjani Reijnders (Milan)
Strikers
- Moise Kean (Fiorentina)
- Riccardo Orsolini (Bologna)
- Mateo Retegui (Atalanta)
The winners will be unveiled on Friday, May 23 in each category, along with the league’s overall MVP.
With Napoli on the cusp of clinching the Scudetto, Scott McTominay is strongly favoured to win the award having scored game-winning goals on several occasions, keeping their title push afloat in the process.
Juventus are eyeing a swoop for Mateo Retegui ahead of the summer window, and having scored 25 league goals in a stunning breakout campaign, could well rival McTominay for the award.
Elsewhere, Como’s Nico Paz has been a revelation since arriving at Como last summer, and although he is strongly linked with an immediate return to former club Real Madrid this summer, he may scoop the U23 award before his departure.
