Denis Backs Lautaro Martinez for 2024 Ballon d’Or
Former Atalanta striker German Denis believes Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez is the most deserving player for the 2024 Ballon d’Or. Martinez will contend for the prestigious award alongside players like Vinicius Junior, Rodri, Jude Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, and Kylian Mbappe.
The Argentina international earned a spot on the 30-man shortlist after a remarkable 2023-24 season at both the club and national levels. In a recent interview with TMW, Denis praised Martinez, stating, “This season, Lautaro deserves the Ballon d’Or more than anyone because he scored frequently and achieved all his objectives.” Martinez played a key role in Inter Milan’s Scudetto victory last season, scoring 24 goals and providing six assists in 33 matches.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
