Serie A is back this weekend. To mark the occasion, OneFootball presents the top 5 French players to keep a close eye on in Italy this season!
After a very good year of adaptation in Italy, the 24-year-old midfielder now aims to win a title. Juventus dreams of the Scudetto, and to achieve this, stability and order in midfield will be crucial. Under Igor Tudor’s guidance, Thuram has played 10 games as a starter with only one defeat. After the emergence, the explosion?
After a dull season at Milan, Magic Mike is on a mission to kick-start a new cycle for the Rossoneri. Allegri has arrived, along with new names like Luka Modric. In short, the former PSG player will have to be one of the initiators of a revolt to put Milan back at the top of the Italian league. He has also been named captain of the Lombardy team.
After two seasons where he proved his worth, the former OM player has established himself as a key player for the Biancocelesti. Regularly mentioned among the best in his position on the other side of the Alps, the midfielder will have to carry his team towards more consistency. In 2021-22, he had concluded his best season at Marseille with 5 goals and 14 assists. Can he do even better this year?
His express adaptation to Serie A has stunned all observers of the championship. The Roma metronome was one of the best in his position all season. If he continues at this pace, it’s likely that Didier Deschamps will trust him for the next World Cup. In the meantime, AS Roma is counting on him to compete with the big teams in Serie A and Europe.
Although he didn’t win a title last year, his season was remarkable, with a Champions League final appearance. On the eve of his third season at Inter, the Parma-born striker will have the mission of taking it to the next level, i.e., bringing at least one title home with his team. Individually, he has the ability to finish as the league’s top scorer. With the competition shaping up among the Blues for his position, he’ll need to have a magical season to secure a World Cup spot. It promises to be exciting!
