While many football fans may argue that the English Premier League is currently at the summit of the football realm, there's no denying that Serie A doesn't fall too far behind. Despite the EPL's superiority when it comes to having a competitive edge, statistics have shown that Serie A produces players of equal quality, if not better.

Moreover, Serie A is famous for being the hunting ground for top clubs across the world. It would be interesting to see the most valuable players from the top flight of Italian football, having come from an emphatic season with plenty of ups and downs.

Although this list would typically involve the players scoring most goals in Serie A last season, it spotlights the overall contributions top players have had on their team. For this reason, we highlight the top-rated players of the recently concluded season, regardless of the positions they play.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio)

Although Lazio has suffered plenty of setbacks in the past couple of seasons, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has remained a consistent top-performer in the team's midfield. The Serbian phenomenon has been at the helm of Lazio's midfield, making contributions on both halves of the pitch. Furthermore, Milinkovic-Savic's goal contributions have also made the 26-year-old player an integral part of the Italian side. He scored eight goals and made nine assists in Serie A last season, proving that his 70 million Euro price tag is worthwhile.

Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan)

After a hotly contested battle, Inter managed to take the spoils from the top flight in Italian football last season. One of the people who had an immense contribution to this success is Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. The forward's 35 goal contributions were more than any other player's in the league last season, making him among the most outstanding strikers in Serie A. What's more, with 24 goals and 11 assists, Lukaku's contributions to Inter are a testament to his quality as a professional. Due to this impressive form, his stint in Manchester United is considered bygones, and he's currently one of the best strikers in the world.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus)

Juventus' performance in the Serie A last season was anything but impressive. The Italian giants were unable to seal a decade-long dominance over the league after Inter Milan took home the Serie A trophy and almost missed out on a UEFA Champions League position. Still, amidst their poor performance, Juve's top man, Cristiano Ronaldo, managed to deliver another incredible season. Despite his mature age of 35, Ronaldo has continued to terrorize defenses with few signs of slowing down. The talismanic Portuguese forward went ahead to become the top scorer in Serie A last season, making him the only player in history to finish at that position in the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A.

Final Thoughts

The quality of football in Italy has never failed to impress. Top players from Serie A have always had a touch of class. Although there were plenty of impressive performances in the last season of the league, the players highlighted above are arguably the crème de la crème at the moment.
