Players to watch out for:
David de Gea (Fiorentina)
At one juncture, it seemed as though David de Gea might be forced to announce an unexpected early retirement from the world of football, yet fate had a different narrative in mind for the Spanish goalkeeper. After an illustrious tenure with Manchester United, where he amassed 414 appearances and earned the admiration of fans and critics alike, De Gea made an unexpected move to Fiorentina.
The decision raised eyebrows, but in a remarkably short span of 2-3 months, he has transformed into a hero for the Italian club. His arrival has sparked a remarkable resurgence, with Fiorentina emerging as one of the most formidable contenders for the Serie A title.
De Geaâs wealth of experience, combined with his remarkable ability to command the goalmouth, has made him an irreplaceable figure between the sticks. His presence alone is enough to instil fear in opposition strikers, and his shot-stopping prowess continues to earn him accolades. On the international stage, De Gea has made 45 appearances for the Spanish national team, contributing significantly to their successes over the years.
Lautaro Martinez (Inter)
Lautaro MartĂnez, the dynamic captain and talisman of Inter Milan, will be pivotal in his sideâs pursuit of clinching the top spot in Serie A with a crucial victory over Fiorentina. Renowned for his unwavering loyalty since joining the club in 2018, MartĂnez has cemented his legacy at Inter, amassing 217 appearances and an impressive tally of 108 goals.
Hailing from Bahia Blanca, the Argentine centre-forward has been equally instrumental on the international stage, representing Argentina 70 times and netting 32 goals. His prowess was on full display during the 2024 Copa AmĂŠrica, where he claimed the prestigious Golden Boot for his stellar performances. Furthermore, his consistency and brilliance earned him a place in the Serie A Team of the Season for 2023-24.
