French football agent Stéphane Courbis recently shared his insights exclusively with TuttoMercatoWeb.com. He discussed the upcoming Champions League final, stating: “It will be a very interesting final with teams that have distinct playing styles. Both are very strong sides with experienced coaches. You have young players facing experienced ones. For me, Inter are the favourites, but Paris Saint-Germain have been quite surprising this year.” Courbis works for SMI Sports Management International, the agency representing veteran goalkeeper Mandanda and young midfielder Lepenant, who has previously been linked with Italian clubs like AC Milan.
Donnarumma and Lautaro: What are their chances of challenging the favourites for the Ballon d`Or award?
“In my opinion? They have no chance at all. I believe Dembélé will be the primary favourite if his team wins the final.”
Regarding Marcus Thuram at Inter and his brother Khephren at Juventus: What do you think of their development?
“I think they are both excellent players who are demonstrating their capabilities. However, considering their young age, they still have significant potential for further development and improvement.”
What are your thoughts on Roberto De Zerbi`s work at Marseille? He faced considerable pressure but has secured Champions League qualification.
“It was an excellent debut season for him. Medhi Benatia and Pablo Longoria assembled a strong squad that the coach successfully guided to play well, ultimately achieving their objective.”
