Even if the rumors are true, I wouldn't be surprised if the fee was posted for an Osimhen and the fact is he really deserves the label. I don't think there is a loss for any club if they are interested in signing Osimhen because for sure the number of goals scored will increase with Osimhen. But as the team that has hosted Osimhen so far, Napoli certainly want him to last longer and for example a salary increase he really deserves.

But if before this summer closes there is a team that dares to make an offer at 150 million euros, I think Napoli must be willing to let him go and they don't need to be naive because Napoli also needs large funds for the club's finances to be stable or can be used to buy other talented players. There is so much profit to be made by selling Osimhen, but of course Napoli's priority is to keep Osimhen at the club.
As long as Napoli are not having financial problems, I don't think there is any reason to sell Osimhen for purely business reasons that will bring money to the club. he is a good player, has skills and of course his value can increase. Napoli losing a talented player like Osimhen is a loss as a team. and maybe they won't find another young player like Osimhen who will play for Napoli in the future.
as long as Osimhen is comfortable with the team and Napoli can pay him a salary. I think Napoli should keep Osimhen in the team.
I don't think Napoli is a team with financial problems, but if they think winning the Scudetto last season is enough then they might sell Osimhen while the market value is very high and there is also interest from top European teams. Maybe there will be many considerations that Napoli will have to decide for Osimhen. But if he wants to leave for a new challenge, of course Napoli will be happy to open his door and they also don't want to rein in their players who have contributed too much. Now Napoli will not be the same as before considering that the coach is no longer Spalleti, so it is possible that the style of play and the strategy used is also different and that may not match what the previous Napoli players got who were very comfortable when handled by Spalleti.
I agree more if Osimhen is sold when the price is still quite high on the market. I predict that Napoli will regret it very much if they keep it or prefer to sell it next season. Now you can see, no team is so insistent on chasing Osimhen's signature, meaning he is not a typical striker who is able to maintain consistency. And I also predict that the Partenopei will also fail to defend their Scudetto.

I think, Barcelona is planning to bring in some potential players in this summer, but I don't know if they have the money to sign kylian Mbappe and Victor Osimhen because those two players have potential skills to improve any team that will embrace them in this summer. Now that many teams are seriously working to ensure they sign in talented players that will help them to improve not to end up in second position or third position in the la Liga league competition than to work hard to ensure things work for their favour by winning the la Liga league title next season. Real Madrid is still focusing on PSG striker but the money the team is demanding from Real Madrid to pay for the player is making Real Madrid to quit, because they don't have such money to sign only one player in this summer.
I don't think Mbappe will ever be on Barcelona's radar. Currently, the Blaugrana almost have a mature squad with unstable financial conditions. I think the arrival of Gundogan is enough to complete the Barca squad to return to control of La Liga. Osimhen could be the right option if Xavi wants to add strength to his attack line, but the price is too high, of course the team from Catalan cannot afford it.

Indeed, after the departure of Benzema, they still do not have a replacement that is at least equal. And with Mbappe, this would be an extraordinary thing, but it's still wishful thinking at this time, because it's still just rumours. But indeed, the rumors in the current transfer market are stronger than before. If previously PSG could make such an attractive offer for Mbappe, this season might be different again. But, will Mbappe return to how he used to be, pressing his desire to go to Real Madrid and stay at PSG for certain reasons and offers.
Real Madrid still difficult looking for replacement Karim Benzema after tough negotiations for signing Mbappe, Joselu as current transfer for filling Karim Benzema position I don't think has the same level because his career spent with mediocre teams and this season Joselu failed help Espanyol relegated to Segunda Division. Florentino Perez looks not sure want to sign Mbappe in this season because prefer waiting when his contract expiry with PSG next season.

Its difficult for Carlo Ancelotti how to manage well performance next season in La Liga or Champion League after Benzema departure and not easy sign the same replacement with Benzema level. But Real Madrid have full active in transfer window signing many potential midfielder from Jude Bellingham Brahim Diaz and last young potential recruitment Arda Güler.
Yes, Real Madrid are very worried about their attack line after the departure of Benzema. Ancelotti will certainly be very confused with such a situation. He must really work hard to be able to do something that is expected of Joselu. In his last season with Real Madrid, of course, Ancelotti really wanted to win the La Liga title, but I doubt very much his expectations given the current squad for the Whites.

If Mbappe fails to get this season Perez should have brought in an alternative striker like Firmino who is quite experienced but who would have thought that Perez would be more focused on recruiting young players to complete the Real Madrid squad.
404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 14, 2023, 03:47:42 AM
Yes, that seems to be the case. Napoli actually don't want to let go of their flagship players this season, because at least they have to maintain the title, that's why they set a very high price for Oshimen. Likewise Oshimen, he still feels at home and wants to be in Napoli. SO, PSG's hope of getting Oshimen seems quite small indeed.
PSG is interested in Victor Osimhen. I believe the Parisians' chances are slim. Napoli is still equally strong as they were the previous season when they won the scudetto because to their outstanding players and coach.  The only person they will miss is thekr coach Luciano Spalleti, who would depart from the club to spend time with his family. The Napoli team has an excellent circle of players, and their leading goal scorer, Victor Osimhen, has been connected with a number of elite clubs, but Napoli continues to demand a high fee for the Nigerian, which these clubs are unwilling to pay.
I think it's difficult for Napoli to defend the Scudetto even though they are very ambitious for it. Spalletti's departure is a clear sign that the Partenopei have lost their best instructor.

Osimhen is Napoli's mainstay striker but in my opinion now is the right step for Napoli to sell him because at the moment he still has a fairly high price on the market. It's useless if it is maintained because if Osimhen is unable to maintain his performance next season. I think selling Osimhen was part of an investment move for Napoleon.

Next season won’t really be a easy season For any club, every clubs are trying to improve their squad, no club should be under estimated next season, Arsenal not having much experienced players in their substitution really affected them last season, but they are already trying to correct their mistake which will improve their performance next season.
Yes, of course, and there's no excuse for some clubs to make mistakes or miss opportunities. I hope Guardiola improves his team's performance because after all we know that several other clubs including Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United are not going to give Manchester City any space to win every game. Next season's Premier League will show the results of the maneuvers carried out by several clubs and about who is stronger. Of the several clubs that have competed in the Premier League last season, indeed everyone will see the condition of Arsenal who have failed to maintain their position due to a lack of balance on the field. Hopefully Arteta will make improvements to his reserve players so they don't swallow another bitter pill like next season.
The Premier League is the toughest competition in the world and very dynamic. Manchester City, which is the defending champion three times in a row, will certainly face a real challenge again from several contestants who have prepared their squad more deeply. But of course Guardiola is not afraid of that, he will still respect every opponent.

But in my opinion Manchester City will dominate the Premier League again, how come Pep Guardiola has made a very solid foundation and difficult to overthrow. At the moment City's line-up is extraordinary and they also have a very strong mentality.

With De Ligt, a very good central defender will be created with Min-Jae's arrival in Bayern. And with a quality striker, they can achieve great success next year and dominate the league again. De Ligt has become a player who has made a huge contribution to the team. We can watch this duo in Bayern for many years.
De Ligt and Min Jae are central defenders with similar skills and styles. Their combination can bring troubles for Bayern Munich defense system at the center. They will hardly support each other and cover weakness of their defensive team-mate at the center of their defense.

A classic central defender pair will be like Rio Ferdinand and Vidic in Manchester United, Carvalho and Terry in Chelsea and more. They have different skills, weaknesses and strengths and can support each other to get a strong defense system. De Ligt moved to Bayern Munich from Juventus where they had Bonucci and Chiellini, that defensive pair is like two pairs from Premier League years ago.
Min Jae is indeed projected to become a partner with De Ligt in defense. The presence of the South Korean player will certainly make Bayern Munich's defense difficult to penetrate. Yes, your statement is correct, the duet of De Ligt and Min Jae is very similar to some of the world-class duets we have seen before. But of course I don't want to look any further because they haven't played together yet.

Thomas Tuchel is of course very happy with the arrival of Min Jae, but I still hope he will soon bring in a striker who has a high scoring instinct, because now Bayern Munich really needs it.
407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: July 03, 2023, 05:26:38 PM

Over the past few seasons we have seen PSG sign a number of stars at high prices but unfortunately they have not had much success despite spending such a huge amount of money.
By spending such a huge amount of money, they have only managed to win the league title. The specific reason behind their failure if cited would be the lack of experienced managers. PSG management should have thought that it is very difficult to win the title from a quality tournament without training the quality players they have bought which is a complete failure for PSG.  

Luis Enrique has been appointed now I hope he will be able to organize PSG well again but PSG should have appointed Luis Enrique as manager when Lionel Messi was at PSG. Because at that time he would have been able to take this team to the top level of Europe.
PSG is one of the richest clubs in the world. They can sign any player and have also been successful in bringing in a number of world stars but again they have failed to become the best in Europe. I suspect that something is not going well in management, the owner of PSG should also immediately expel several board of directors who have indeed failed to do their job for the sake of the team's future success.

I salute the appointment of Luis Enrique as the new coach. But of course it must be accompanied by new recruits as well. I think Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) boss Nasser Al Khelaifi has to put full faith in Enrique and give him money to be more flexible in the transfer window.

Recently there was also news about Liverpool being interested in getting the signature of the Napoli mainstay. But Liverpool have yet to make an official offer. So I think it's just going to be issues like other clubs do. who are only interested but apparently don't dare to pay a high price for Osimhen.

Liverpool are doing their best to strengthen the squad. Several rumors are heard regarding this. A few days ago I heard rumors that Liverpool management is ready to spend 300 million for Mbappe. Now we hear Liverpool wants to sign Osimhen. Liverpool management has a lot of money, and they don't skimp on spending money either. I think it's likely to see either Osimhen or Mbappe with Liverpool's squad. It is likely that the Liverpool management will make an official offer very soon.
Although Liverpool are able to spend a large money I am not quite sure that the plan will be realized. Mbappe is clearly something impossible not a matter of money but personally the French striker will prefer Real Madrid. While Osimhen could have been an option for attacking lines and that I think it makes sense.

I advised the owner of Napoli to immediately sell Osimhen, because he was not a typical attacker who would be able to maintain his performance. In addition, the spalletti factor will also greatly affect him. So for that Osimhen is worthy to be released if you get a suitable bargaining value.

I also judge that for next season Partenopei will be very difficult to maintain the Scudetto. So even if Osimhen is maintained, the next season the bargaining price will drop dramatically and in the business of Napoli will lose a lot of money.
409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 03, 2023, 04:19:43 PM
So far Real Madrid has spent €108 million to bring in 2 players Fran Garcia and Jude Bellingham, Madrid hasn't got a replacement for Karim Benzema which means that actually Madrid still needs additional players but they are still waiting for certainty related to Mbappe at least until the end of the transfer window, whereas Osimhen may be the last option and Mbappe is still the main target. To be honest, I'm not sure Real Madrid will go through a new season without new striker maybe it will be their worst season so we have to wait at the last second.
So, what's purpose of real madrid to take joselu from espanyol if people are still doubting about him to replace benzema? I meant ancelotti sees potential on him and he has been also placed at the top scorer board even though he was still under lewandowski and benzema but he is performing so well even with mediocre team. Osimhen is getting in touch with chelsea at this moment. Im feeling doubt if ancelotti is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the new striker.
Real Madrid still needed a few finishing touches in the transfer market but Perez ended Ancelotti hopes and decided not to spend any money. Whether this is a strategy or not, the fact is that Madrid attack line is still not quite certain to be ideal, the void filled by Joselu or Brahim is not very promising and forces Ancelotti to take care of this gap until next season. Plus his position managing the team also until next year, meaning there is no other choice but to accept Perez decision.
If that happens then Ancelotti will have a very difficult time concocting a team to target champions. The Real Madrid squad is currently not completely stable after the death of its captain. The void in attack should be the main focus for Perez to bring in an experienced striker. I'm sure Joselu and Brahim Diaz will not be able to be a worthy replacement for Benzema. If it is true that Perez does not want to spend his money, then it is certain that Real Madrid will again reap failures in the coming season.
410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 03, 2023, 03:32:04 PM
I guess Real Madrid will add either Harry Kane or Mbappe to the squad. Both Mbappe and Kane are very talented players. And both are capable of scoring plenty of goals. Also it is risky to have too many star players in the squad. At PSG we saw Mbappe play selfishly. And so Ancelotti probably won't make the mistake of putting Harry Kane and Mbappe together in Madrid's attacking lineup. Anyone is likely to see Madrid. But personally, I think Real Madrid management will not be able to add either of these two to the team in the end. Harry Kane will go to Bayern Munich and Mbappe will go to Liverpool.
As we already know about PSG's scheme in implementing a strategy to avoid Mbappe going to Real Madrid. First, initially PSG decided not to sell Mbappe and planned to seduce Mbappe to extend his contract, while Mbappe himself still has not agreed to the extension and only wants to finish his contract until next year. On the other hand, Madrid heard this news, requiring them to rush to find other options temporarily to get Mbappe for free next season so that the budget is allocated to buy other players.

Now PSG next scheme is to change plans, namely to sell Mbappe in the transfer market this summer on the pretext of not wanting to make big losses and then setting a high price. Real Madrid are overwhelmed with these prices because the budget has exceeded the limit. Therefore, PSG received responses from other clubs who were willing with that nominal, such as Liverpool and Arsenal who were also interested.

So this drama can be concluded that PSG does not want to let Mbappe go to Madrid because they are afraid that Madrid will wake up from a dream that has become a nightmare for other clubs in the Champions League.
Such a scenario would obviously throw Real Madrid into a tailspin because they really really want Mbappe. But for the sake of planning the Real Madrid management team must immediately determine their attitude by looking for an alternative sticker figure like Firmino who incidentally is a striker who is quite experienced. But I'm sure that if Madrid can be patient then Mbappe will also determine his attitude to move closer to the Santiago Bernabeu. The French striker will definitely want to wear an El Real shirt and I'm not sure he will go to Arsenal or Liverpool

This topic started in January 4th of 2023, so at the start of this year basically and we are in July now. We have 6 months done, and we are above 120 pages already, which means that there has been 20 pages per month, nearly at a level of 0.75 pages per day give or take.

That should be showing you how much this league got popular and when you are wondering why they are overpaying players more than what they are worth, it is 100% definitely not about how good those players are. They do not care about that, they all get someone, that's not the point. The point is that we wrote almost 1 page per day for this league, over half a page at the very least. This is why they spent that money, to be talked about, to be known, and to be followed. They achieved it.
You can like or dislike Cristiano Ronaldo, but you have to admit that he started the process in the Saudi League. Many players have also decided, looking at Ronaldo, that they can go and play there, especially considering the huge money that is offered there. Now Benzema, Kante, Firmino and other top players play there in addition to Ronaldo. And it's not over yet, it's quite possible a couple more players will join the league.

So soon I think the Saudi league will be in the top ten of the leading soccer leagues, if it continues to actively look for and attract players. 
Looks like Saudi Arabia is building a mega project through football. Seeing the dare of Saudi clubs rented European players with an exorbitant reward of course there is a certain mission. I believe that if the Saudi League team is able to last a long time in recruiting world -class players, the Saudi League will enter the ranks of elite competition in the world. But of course they must be able to prove it by winning the Asian Champions League. If that is realized, we are just waiting for the Qibla football will move to the Arab land.

Obviously Liverpool would be more stronger, don't forget Klopp is one of the best manager, he had built many talented players when he was in Dortmund. Quite similar, he have built many talented players in Liverpool too, but the problem is Liverpool don't have a lot players. They're very strong when the starting eleven playing, but when one or two players injured, the substitute players don't have a same level like their teammates and Liverpool performance would declining.
Agree with you, that Klopp is still a manager who is quite successful in gathering the team. Last season was a season that would be a valuable lesson for him because the crisis of the players who hit made the Reds must be kicked out of competition in the top four. Klopp is currently rebuilding a strong foundation for Liverpool. In midfield it is very complete but I suggest that Klopp bring an experienced defender because the defense sector has begun to weaken.

Quote from: Velvet78
For now Kovacic is the only transfer made by Manchester City this summer. However they have been working on completing a way bigger deal for a long time. They are after Gvardiol as you know and their latest offer was really close to the amount Leipzig wanted for him. I still don't see any update on these negotiations but I assume Manchester City wouldn't stop until securing the deal.

Guardiola has been eager to see him in his team for a long time. This is going to be a really serious improvement in their defense and they will be even more challenging to be stopped. Maybe Gvardiol is a very young player for a defender but he is already impressive with his defending skills.

I think, money will not stop Manchester city not to sign in a potential defenders just to improve more in the area of defense because they really experienced some challenges from the beginning of premier league competition table, that made Arsenal to top the table before Manchester city took over the position till the end of the tournament. It hard for Manchester city coach to bring in players who cannot perform well in the team because he always Carry out his personal research before inviting any player and the player will do wonders like what Erling Haaland is doing in the Manchester city. I believe, Manchester city defensive will be more solid next season because this talented young defender have something good to offer to Manchester city.
Manchester City management has really proven its performance in terms of player recruitment. The players they are hunting for clearly have prospects and potential so they will not hesitate to spend money even though the player's price is very expensive. If they succeed in bringing in Gvardiol then the strength at the back will be very solid and difficult for other teams to match. Apart from that, Kovacic is also a suitable replacement for Gundogan who has left. I believe that in the next few seasons Manchester City will be difficult to stop, especially since they are still managed by Pep Guardiola.

Real madrid as before always surprises in the transfer window and I'm sure they will do it again in this transfer window. Nothing is impossible for Real Madrid to get Mbappe even though the player has given a signal that he will stay with PSG. But if there is no interference coming, I don't know if it's any problem of course it will make him change that decision. I think real madrid will spend a lot of money for mbappe but it will be done by real madrid because they need a proper replacement after Benzema leaves.

From their defense I think Real Madrid have a lot of players in stock. So their main focus remains on their forward line because that will be able to balance their strengths for next season. The midfield has been quite strong after signing Bellingham.
I think it's impossible for Real Madrid to get Mbappe in this summer transfer window. Real Madrid's management should have immediately looked for another striker to fill the void on the front lines. Firmino and Vlahovic might be the right alternative. Yes, the defense for the Whites is quite solid with the players currently available. But it must be remembered that, with his main rivals in La Liga, Barcelona, one step ahead in preparing his squad, it should be a warning to Perez to move quickly in the transfer window.

I think it's not a fake rumor, maybe the process of Manchester United and Kim Min Jae is running, but in the middle of the road something happened that in the end it was Bayern Munich who won the battle for this player.
The arrival of Kim Min Jae is expected to strengthen Bayern Munich's defense for next season in the Bundesliga, and of course in other competitions such as the Champions League for example.
Bayern Munich lost stability last season and it really felt like that, and that was proven by the competition they had to carry out until the last match of the Bundesliga last season.
MU was not even competing with bayern. MU was surrender caused by the fact that if min jae has not become's manchester united's priority for the transfer list this season and many news said opposite thing. MU seeks new midfielder, attacking and goal keeper.
So much news already reported that if MU has been approaching min jae while the fact that if MU never sends direct communication to him. That's why min jae is interesting in joining bayern instead of Manchester united.
I remember that so many times mu reported already in verbal agreement with min jae.
The budget has also become the reason why mu was not approaching him from napoli.
I think it's right that Min Jae chose to join Bayern Munich. He certainly has thought about it very carefully, Bavarian is the best club with a long history in Europe. Besides that, Thomas Thucel is also a consideration for him to go to the Allianz Arena.

His arrival at the Allianz Arena will certainly add strength to the defense. Min Jae is projected to be the right companion for De Ligt.
416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 02, 2023, 05:31:03 PM

Bayern Munich's squad is huge. They have a lot of players and a lot of players who don't get a chance to perform in a match for a full season. And so Bayern Munich should sell some players. Bayern Munich has yet to add any star players to the squad. But they still have enough time to strengthen the squad. But I think the Bayern Munich management will add several players to the squad next season. Because their overall performance in the last season was not very good.
Thomas Tuchel is still dominated by players inherited from the previous coach. Of course Tuchel already has a mature plan to strengthen his squad for his first full season with Bayern Munich.

So far, Tuchel hasn't seen a big breakthrough. According to the news, until now Die Roten has only got three players, namely Kim Min-Jae from Napoli and previously Konrad Laimer and Raphael Guerreiro who were obtained for free.

And in my opinion, it is possible that Tuchel will sell some players who are not in his plans before bringing in star players like Kane, Osimhen or even Frankie De Jong from Barcelona.

Arsenal will appear with a different face and will appear to be stronger in the upcoming 2023/2024 season. Yesterday in the 2022/2023 season, Arsenal looked attractive from the start to almost the end of the Premier League competition. They were able to dominate the top of the standings before being painfully cornered by Manchester City. Arsenal are even more determined to improve. Moreover, this season they will play in the Champions League as well. Arsenal have also targeted a number of players, including Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber. They need improvement on a number of fronts so they can compete for the Premier League and Champions League titles.

It is uncertain if Arsenal will do better or worse than they did last season. We need to see what strategy Arteta will use.. I think that the result from pre match will give us a clue about how good/bad arsenal this season.
Im sure that arsenal gonna use the pre match as training sessions for some new players to adapt to the environment in the club.
Arsenal has havertz, declan rice and timber. Let's see how good performance is from arsenal next season. Im still feeling doubt until we will be able to see the result by arsenal in the pre match soon.


The Premier League is very dynamic and it is very difficult to predict who will be able to compete at the top. Arsenal have improved tremendously under Arteta so far. The presence of a number of new players is expected to be able to make a real contribution to the team. I'm sure Arsenal's performance will not be much different from last season, they will still be serious challengers.

~~

Xavi arrived at a time when Barcelona really needed a coach who knew the team's needs and he was the right person. Xavi even volunteered to manage this team so that it grew to be normal for 1 full season. As a result, they managed to win back the La Liga trophy and secure Champions League tickets. This means that under Xavi leadership it has shown changes in the right direction. With so many financial problems, player salaries being cut, and many people's doubts about Xavi, he has proven that finances are not the main thing, but player loyalty to the team has made all of Barcelona's journeys find their way again. Every journey taken has not always been smooth, Barcelona was knocked out of the Europa League but that did not make them return there next season and rise to the Champions League as in their previous footsteps.

You could say that Xavi has succeeded in bringing Barcelona back to win La Liga, but there is a lot that Xavi has to correct, whether it's the system, players, rotation, and every policy he carries out with his team. especially if Barcelona wants to be more competitive next season, especially in the Champions League competition. I am well aware, Xavi has come to bring big changes. But that doesn't mean we can't criticize it. As a supporter, I am happy to see my favorite team win the League trophy, an achievement that I must appreciate.

But to be honest, sometimes I don't enjoy when they go game by game. I mean, there are several matches that are played with bad games. although in the end, they won the game. and hopefully, next season Xavi will be able to improve the mentality and performance of his team and at the same time fix the system he applies to his squad. at least in the 2023/2024 season, Barcelona must be stronger than the previous season. even with limited funds, Xavi's approach to bringing in newcomers deserves a thumbs up. now, Barca has brought in Gundohan. rumors, there are several other newcomers who will soon join Barcelona. at least, they need a second tier player who is not much different from the starting eleven players. thus, hopefully Barcelona will be much more competitive.
Xavi is extraordinary, he has proven his capacity and is able to bring Barcelona back to win the La Liga title. When compared to the previous coach, Xavi's struggle deserves more respect because he came when the team's condition was in great chaos.

Currently Xavi is rebuilding a solid squad to be able to compete in Europe and also be able to regain control of domestic competition. However, financial problems again limited his space for movement, but luckily he was able to get Gundogan on a free transfer fee. I see that all the players already understand the condition of the team so they really have the real Barcelona DNA.

Dzeko and Lukaku's departures at the same time has put Inter in a difficult situation indeed. But I don't know if this would end up with Lukaku's being loaned to Inter for another season. Because I think he is last resort for Inter from now on. As you said there is no situation like Inter and Lukaku have a great relationship now. If they were willing to keep him for another season they would have made their offer already. One thing is certain that Chelsea would be okay to send him right away for a sensible offer.

It is really sad to see Lukaku's deteriorating performance in time. I wish he had his times with being a great duo with Martinez back.
Inter have lost two of their stickers at the same time, but I think it's time for Dzeko and Lukaku to leave Inter. Of course, Dzeko, who is very old, cannot be relied on anymore, while Lukaku seems to have no more chances to return to the Nerazzurri uniform due to his declining performance.

Now that Inter already have Marcus Thuram, I see him as the spearhead that will have a good impact on Inter, and his arrival will certainly close the door for Lukaku to return. Simone Inzaghi, of course, has not stopped adding strength to his team, I'm sure he has pocketed several players to be brought to the Giuseppe Meazza soon.

Juventus has been in disarray this season, and they hope to turn things around next season. They did not qualify for the UEFA CL this season due to several points being deducted from their league table; the old ladies were not in a competitive race for the scudetto; all they did was try to regain their form, which they never accomplished. They will most likely be informed again next season, which is a fantastic time to recruit potential players who will improve the club's performance. Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has been given an enormous contract by Saudi Arabia clubs, AL Hilal and Al Ahli, worth €30 million per year for three years to leave European football, while he earns €7 million per year plus €2 million in additional bonuses. If you were in Allegri shoes, were would you choose?

look, if it weren't for the penalty points, Juventus would have been in an excellent position
clearly those missing points were penalized (and that's the reason for the punishment, if they didn't penalize it made no sense)

so actually for me it made a good season considering how they had started

If I were in Allegri's position I would leave European football and accept the offer, because after all Allegri is only a head coach which of course will not affect his future. Unless the players are young, then of course it would be better to stay in Europe until old age to end up playing in a different league like that. But yes about Juventus, I personally really believe that Juventus will have a better performance next season. Although indeed, a team like Inter looks more promising in the next season but for me personally, I believe in the winning mentality that Juventus has so that they will still get their best form with great efforts which of course must be continued.
Alegri still has his contract remaining for the next two seasons and it looks like he will honor all of that. But in my opinion, it is time for Allegri to leave the Old Lady because his reputation is starting to fade, it is also suspected that he is starting to be less liked by his players. I'm sure if he stays there won't be any significant changes for Juve.

I also hope that if Alegri changes his mind and accepts an offer from the Saudi Pro League club, the Juventus management must prepare a coach who has a good track record. Antonio Conte deserves to be given a chance and he understands very well the conditions at the Allianz Stadium. The Bianconeri are currently in a slump due to a number of problems and it is only appropriate to refresh the team and Conte really deserves that.
