Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[CLS63]

After having a great start by defeating Genoa 4-0, this time Inter are going to have an away game against Verona. Verona are one of the tough teams in this league especially when they are playing home games. Inter won the last time here 2-1 but got a 2-2 draw before that game. Lukaku is not here anymore but Inter still seem to be very strong. They have brought Edin Dzeko from Roma to fill Lukaku's place. Maybe he won't be as good as Lukaku but he is one of the decent strikers also. And he scored one goal against Genoa too.

In this game, Inter shouldn't have too big problems and they should be able to defeat their opponent by 2 goals at least I think.

AC Milan has seen a shortage in the striker position, last season they brought in Mandzukic (unfortunately not effective), this season they brought in Giroud, it's true that Milan need young players, but it seems Milan's financial problems are preventing them from buying talented young players who certainly have a higher price. Maldini & Pellegri are the names of the young strikers who are at Milan atm, but for now it still takes time for them to become great players.

Mandzukic is great striker and he can play in many positions but he is old. After Mandzukic, Giroud is another player to keep the transfer strategy of AC Milan. They try to use old players with cheap transfer fee if they can and they want to combine old players with young players. I think it is a good strategy because after a few successful seasons, young players will grow up and they will have better finance. Then they can change their strategy and buy star players with higher transfer fee.

Serie A is a place where older players are needed, even though they have young players who have good potential for the future but in the end they will either let them go or sell them when there is an offer.

Because Serie A now are not the best league in the Europe and clubs there have less budget for transfers like 20 or 30 years ago when Serie A
clubs dominate the Europe.

I think Mourinho works best with this kind of team, solid teamwork, without popular star players = no drama.
The last two teams he coached just had too much ego, this one I think will work.

Mourinho still works very well but I hope that he won't create conflict of interests with director board and players. If he can do so, he will succeed in Roma because Serie A is perfect for coaches who like and focuses on tactic like Mourinho.

indeed, I don't care about the age of the players who are brought in by Milan, both young and old, what makes me a little disappointed is, when they bring in old players, but that players don't contribute anything. I've been following Milan for a long time, and I still remember how the majority of AC Milan's older players were able to win the UCL trophy.

These are very hot hours for Juventus regarding the future of Cristiano Ronaldo. After his debut on the bench on the occasion of Udinese-Juventus, CR7 wants to leave Juve IMO. As reported by Fantacalcio.it, Bianconeri ask at least 25 million euros to let the player leave, a figure that would interest Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
Another reason for that is That if the Kane deal does not complete, the last minute Ronaldo opportunity could arise for the citizens: Gabriel Jesus could also be included to accelerate the operation.

https://twitter.com/HKane/status/1430496495225262084?s=20

Harry Kane is staying. He tweeted this.

So, I wonder whether Manchester City would be able to sign Cristiano Ronaldo on the last week of the transfer window. But €25m is a really bad offer I think. I don't wait for Juventus to sell him for that amount. His market value is €45m now. Let's see whether City will manage to end the deal.

Sorry if Kane is staying then does City really need to get someone? They are already good, and they could just keep on playing the way it is? I get why you would want Kane on your team that makes sense but I do not understand why would anyone strictly get a player, they already have a good team and I believe that it will continue for a long time as well. I mean striker is the position they were getting, Kane is a striker, but they have Jack there now and I do not think that they need any new players, Jesus could be there as well, so they are already good enough to be the champions once again.

Ronaldo would be good of course, who would say no to getting Ronaldo don't get me wrong, but Ronaldo will not be the difference between becoming champions and not becoming champions, they are already good enough to be champions in the league if they keep this up.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The truth is, from how I see Juve, I don't understand what their plans might be, they have a great team, but they will leave CR7, has the club not earned enough money? When CR7 arrived at Juve they had a lot of profit, both in their actions and in their products, If CR7 is valued at $ 45M, I think that the highest bidder for now is PSG, another Italian club I don't think they want to pay so much money , and Real Madrid does not want CR7. Now the Italian League is endangering him some of that earned fame?

Left six days for window deadline and close and we know what happen with Cristiano Ronaldo will sign with Manchester City or stay for Juventus until his contract ended in this season. He was not happy stay on Juventus because not play at the first minutes when Juventus draw with Udinese, now he looking new opportunity with Manchester City, will Pep Guardiola make Cristiano Ronaldo as second player for City or not after not success got Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur.

According to the news circulating, it seems that the transfer process of Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus to Manchester City has been completed and it is just waiting for an official announcement from both parties about it, and even ronaldo will get a salary of 15 million euros a season, but there are no exact details of how many seasons manchester city will sign Ronaldo, but what is certain is that Ronaldo's move to Manchester City is likely to materialize in the near future.

[Pulsar77]

And he must be eager to join Manchester City when there is an opportunity. I hope that this deal ends successfully.

I haven't heard any news about Ronaldo's career at Juve. Whether he will continue or not, but if I'm not mistaken Alegri has spoken, Juve wouldn't have died without Ronaldo. Then regarding his move, it is reported that there has been no official offer coming to Ronaldo. If you see Twiit Fabrizio Romano Juve are having a meeting with jorge Mendez today. Reportedly, Juve want to release Ronaldo for €28/30 million.

Yeah, Juventus wouldn't have died without Ronaldo. Because they are after Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus. It is said that Manchester City offered Raheem Sterling to them but they refused it. If the Ronaldo deal ends for the benefit of Manchester City, they would think of selling Jesus to them I guess. But they may not want to give up on him so easily. Because Ronaldo is 36 years old but Jesus is 24. They may not want to lose a young and talented player so soon.

Actually, Niccolo Schiro reports that it seems that we are talking about 20 million euros per season and it is more likely to believe in this, given the recent earnings and ambitions of Ronaldo. In any case, Juventus was waiting for an official offer from Manchester City and it seems that they finally received this offer in the amount of 30 million euros. There was also talk about a contract for two years until 2023, because this is an important argument for Ronaldo and his further career continuation. For all the complacency of the transfer for both sides, Ronaldo's mood may be spoiled by the fact that Manchester City is the worst enemy for Manchester United fans, but United themselves did not show much initiative about the transfer of Ronaldo.

Ronaldo did make a huge contribution to Juventus, but Juventus losing Ronaldo will not die. Because there are still many other good players
at Juventus, maybe Juventus just needs to buy new strikers if Ronaldo does move. The problem is that until now there has been no official
offer from Man City to buy Ronaldo, maybe Man City are still considering buying Ronaldo who is 36 years old and has a big salary.
But I believe in the end Man City will make an offer to buy Ronaldo, because they need strikers and the transfer market closes in a few days.
Man City don't have many options, after failing to get Kane.

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

They have brought Edin Dzeko from Roma to fill Lukaku's place. Maybe he won't be as good as Lukaku but he is one of the decent strikers also. And he scored one goal against Genoa too.

Dzeko is a temp solution for Inter Milan because he is very old now. Dzeko is like Ibra in AC Milan and Inter Milan won't be able to rely on Dzeko more than 3 or 4 seasons.

Juventus is a big club and they have great history before Ronaldo appearance in Turin. They will make their history greater with other players.

Gabriel Jesus is not good at striker position and Pep want to use him at the right wing. Pep Guardiola has finally given Gabriel Jesus his perfect Man City role.

Juventus rejected the offer with Sterling because England players adapt not too well in other leagues.

[acquafredda]

During the meeting with Mendes, Juventus management explained its position: nobody closes the doors to a divorce a year in advance, but it is necessary that someone puts on the table a sum between 25 and 30 million euros for the Portuguese.
Juve is not willing to let Ronaldo leave at zero, now Mendes' task will be to find a club that will pay CR7's market price. The most intense contacts are with Manchester City, which after having failed the Kane siege has turned decisively on CR7. From England, however, no news so far.

Right now the rumors of Ronaldo going to Manchester City are very strong, even many videos (regardless of whether the video is genuine or not) of Ronaldo in Manchester City uniform have been circulating on social media such as the screenshots has my took.
with the departure ronaldo, of course juventus should be able to find other attackers in the near future, because of course juventus only relying on paulo dybala and alvaro morata in their front lines right now, with the competition in serie A anda champion league getting tougher of course paulo dybala and morata are not enough,so like it or not juventus should already have a target player to replace ronaldo.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Everybody has started eyeing Cristiano Ronaldo to transfer from Juventus to Manchester City. The transfer probability is getting higher and higher every day.



https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1431178794669383680?s=20

Fabrizio Romano said that Ronaldo has left the training center to say goodbye to his teammates. Juventus are just waiting for the official offer from Manchester City to end this deal.

Fabrizio Romano said that Ronaldo has left the training center to say goodbye to his teammates. Juventus are just waiting for the official offer from Manchester City to end this deal.

It's almost time to say goodbye to Ronaldo. I think he is impatient and lost his belief that he and Juventus can win Champions League. He does not want to see Messi win another Champions League, with PSG.

Manchester City and PSG are the top candidates in Champions League and now Ronaldo and Messi will fight each other in two new big clubs: PSG and Manchester City. They are no longer players of Real Madrid or Barcelona but their competition will keep going.

[joker_josue]

I just think it's weird that he's going to Man City, Man United fans will be very sad with him if he goes to the rival club in town.

It's official! Ronaldo will return to Man United!

I found it very difficult for him to go to City. But it seems that there were attempts at negotiations, but it was for United.


The Italian league was poorer without Ronaldo. I think this year will not be so for Juventus.

Looks like he really wanted to make a move after Messi said goodbye to his beloved team.
I watched their last match and having a draw after leading 2-0 and then having his potential game winning goal right at the end must of been what broke the camel's back for him.
And finally decided enough is enough and guess he liked it at Manchester United and thought City already had too many star players on it as it is.

[rmhuntley]

Juventus not get much money from selling Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United, I think better give him minutes play and keep stay for Juventus because he was an icon for Juventus fans keep going to stadium. But now he Ronaldo become Manchester United red and back again with Varane and have Alex Ferguson here why Cristiano Ronaldo want back to Manchester United.

It is most likely that Manchester United have a great chance for Ronaldo's return because he has opened any club to woo him, and this is the right answer no or is it still a rumor but some say on the news 24 million euros and a contract until 2023.
Looks like Manchester United fans will be very happy.

But I also question whether the Italian league will be quieter in the residence of this mega star?
Because we know before that after Ronaldo's arrival to Italy, more and more people glanced at him in this league.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well the best thing is what happens, CR7 in its beginnings started from there, could it be that it is in that team that he will end his career? Man United love CR7, no doubt English football will have a better outlook, if then Man City did not buy Kane? Kane, which team is he leaving for?

I understand that it is the sensation of the moment, for now CR7 is the news! Now all those agreements that are advanced with Man City have been pushed back, what really happened? It's strange, maybe CR7 prefers more the club where he has more love. It's hard for me to believe that they don't want him in Man City, I think there was a problem or maybe something he didn't like, because obviously CR7 represents a great business for any team, it translates into profit. This Champions League will be interesting, a Real Madrid vs Barcelona match will no longer be exciting, now everyone will want to see PSG vs Man United.

It is really sad to see that Juve has lost such an exceptional player, perhaps now the Italian league will look for better ways to attract many fans to its ranks, this football offered by Italian clubs is of a high level and with a style different from the others. .I would like to see a Del Piero again, players like Maldini, Totti, Canavaro, because they were players who set the tone in the Italian league.
