In the 2017–18 season, Inter Milan player Mauro Icardi won the award, snapping the six-year winning streak of Juventus players. He was the joint top scorer in the league alongside Lazio's Ciro Immobile (29), despite Juventus winning the league again. Juventus player Cristiano Ronaldo would then win the award for the next two seasons. In the 2018–19 season, he became the highest ever transfer for an Italian club with his €100 million transfer from Real Madrid to Juventus. In 2019–20, the second season he won the award, he scored the second-most goals in the league, while being the top scorer for his club once again (31).
