McTominay, Retegui and Reijnders win Serie A MVP awards

Scott McTominay has been named the overall MVP of the 2024/25 Serie A season after leading Napoli to the league title.

The Scottish midfielder has become the heart of Antonio Conte’s side since his move from Manchester United last summer.

He has racked up 12 goals and four assists, including the incredible scissors kick in the 2-0 win against Cagliari last night that sealed the Scudetto for the Partenopei.

Nico Paz has won the best young player award following his stunning impact with Como.

The Argentine prodigy has been one of the revelations this season, catching everyone’s attention with his magical performances.

With a productive tally of six goals and nine assists, the 20-year-old has led newcomers Como to an impressive 10th-place finish.

Mateo Retegui has edged out Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram to win the best striker prize.

The Italian marksman has been pivotal behind Atalanta’s Champions League qualification, topping the Serie A scoring charts with 25 goals, seven strikes ahead of Moise Kean.

He will also join the elite list of players to win the prestigious Capocannoniere award, also the first Atalanta player since Filippo Inzaghi in 1997.

AC Milan star Tijjani Reijnders has been voted the best midfielder of the season, ahead of Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella and McTominay.

Despite Milan’s dismal campaign, the Dutch midfielder has been one of the standout midfielders, producing impressive displays consistently.

His scintillating form has also caught the attention of Premier League giants Manchester City, who are the front-runners to sign him this summer.

Alessandro Bastoni has bagged the best defender award for his stellar consistency in Inter’s backline.

The Italian defender has been a pillar in defence, with his magnificent form inspiring the Nerazzurri to the Champions League final, where they will meet Paris Saint-Germain next week.

Roma youngster Mile Svilar has claimed the best goalkeeper award for his breakout season in Serie A.

The Serbian has been massive between the sticks, playing a key role in the Giallorossi’s late resurgence to finish in the European places.
