Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Sebas.tian]

It has been made official and announced that Paul Pogba has joined Juventus. He has signed a 4 year contract with Juventus and will stay with the club until 2026.

Official Juve announcement

I guess, this is a welcome development to Juventus because Paul Pogba is a good midfielder that know how  to feed the strikers very well until they achieve goals from the tournament. Juventus coach like Paul Pogba tactics which Pogba will definitely increase Juventus performance in next season because he will like to perform well in a way other teams will wish to have him in their team with big money that is more than what he is receiving from Juventus. I think, it will be difficult for Manchester united to get a talented midfielder like Paul Pogba in this season because people like Paul Pogba are not common in the world.

Milan was an underdog to the very end, Inter had an easier calendar and even lagging (if I remember correctly by two points) from Milan they were considered favorites. Bookmaker quotes are often strange. But in any case, I will not make these bets, since I am not satisfied with such a long period of their execution.

I agree with the part that Milan was not the favorites, and they were looked to be losing to Inter eventually if they didn't so well, but they did, and they won. Which means that it would be weird to list the team with the last championship at the third place. I get that Juventus got Pogba and they think it will be making a huge amount of change for them but that's about it, nothing more.

At the same time, we are looking for Milan team to be doing fine, with what they have, they did it last year. I will probably make a bet if this is the case, 3.50+ for Milan is a good bet and I will make it if I see it on my favorite place. It's not there right now or I failed to see it so far.

This bet can be placed on Stake https://stake.com/sports/outright/soccer/italy/serie-a/42734601-serie-a-22-23 or do you prefer another bookmaker?
By the way, today the odds of Milan have changed and now they are 3.7 
Inter and Juventus have 2.75 and 2.85 respectively. If it was a quick bet, I would have made two identical bets on Inter and Juventus and would have received either 75 or 85 units of profit.

Official Juve announcement

Juventus made the most profitable transfer of the year by transferring Paul Pogba. They added a world star, who is only 29 years old, to the team for free. If they get Cristiano Ronaldo back, they can turn into a completely different team. Juventus will play in the champions league. This is a decisive factor for Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, It wouldn't be much of a surprise to me to see him return to his old team.

[barbara44]

Juventus are quite busy building their squad. They haven't won the League title for some seasons now. They last time they probably won the Serie A trophy was during the 2019/2020 season. However Di Maria finally decided his move to Juventus and he has undergone medical tests, After spending 7 solid years in PSG.  While, He will be given the number 22 jersey. He is such a great player, and will definitely very productive to the club. Although, he only signed a one year contract with the Old Lady.

The steps they take are really fast, how serious they are in strengthening the team so far has been quite successful without any obstacles (the players they recruited went smoothly). It was good because I saw that some other teams had difficulty signing their new players for several reasons. I see Juventus as the fastest team in this transfer market.

Surely a positive change by Juventus management as in last season they were in poor form with the few key players having injuries in crucial positions but in this season they are learning from their mistakes and doing positive changes which can bring good results in games which is needed.

Inter and Roma both are also busy other teams, so they are doing all their right tactics for having tough challenging year is waiting for these teams in Serie A which is going to be some more interested with this time we are having few teams in better strength which is important for title race. AC Milan is having some troubles but still this is going to be tough season for all top ranked teams with having few quality players in their squad.

It's very ironic that Paul Pogba is returning to Juventus for free. Six years ago they made 100 million Euro from him, now they got him back for free. As Pogba is still in his prime, I consider this a very very good signing. He will receive an annual salary of 8 million Euro. It's pretty normal for a player of this level. Pogba, who couldn't find what he wanted in Manchester United, can win championships in Italy again. Angel di Maria also came, Juventus is much stronger now. They can go back to their good old days.

AC Milan will release Castillejo to Valencia on a permanent transfer status. This will be Gattuso's reunion with Castillejo. According to some news that I read, this move was also a direct request from Gattuso to AC Milan. Perhaps this is what makes it easier for Gattuso to sign him. There is no information yet on how much the transfer amount will be, but everything is almost done, the agreement between Milan and Valencia has been completed, just waiting for the official announcement.

Pogba returned to Turin and will be part of them again. This time, he joins them as a star player, not a young player like his first time there. After signing a contract with Juventus and meet their fans, Pogba rejected to sign on a skirt of Manchester United. Awkward player in my opinion. At least Manchester United is the club that grows him up.

Angel di Maria also came, Juventus is much stronger now. They can go back to their good old days.

Di Maria will be a good player on bench and good substitution for Juventus when they need him. Juventus in recent seasons have good transfer strategy with star players who are free agents. From Pogba, Pirlo, Ramsey, Di Maria, etc. they are trying to get as many free agents as possible. They can have good contributions and don't cost them anything from transfer market.

Juventus are in a huge profit in this transfer window already now. Because they have signed great players like Pogba and Di Maria officially on a free deal. They have signed Federico Chiesa permanently for 40 million euros too. I don't expect them to stop there of course as for example their defense line is under threat because de Ligt could be sold soon. However especially the Pogba transfer will contribute vastly to the midfield of the team. I will be expecting a striker move also from them.

I personally don’t think Juventus have benefited too much with DI Maria and Pogba in the team. Pogba and Di Maria are very talented, no doubt about it. However, Pogba has not performed well in the last few seasons. On the other hand, DI Maria was not the main striker of PSG. And so I'm not sure how these two players will perform with the Juventus team on a regular basis.

if I remember correctly Pogba has already played for Juventus .. in my opinion he is an excellent acquisition, I respect Pogba very much, I think he is strong even though he is no longer young

Juventus always tries to minimize expenses
also because otherwise surviving is difficult

Yep, he left with an early termination agreement because his contract was supposed to expire in the summer of next year but agreed to leave with termination as a free player there.
This is also an advantage for Milan because this early termination of the contract can make the club not have to pay severance pay.
On the other hand, I read other news because if this is true, it is reported that Valencia also has the potential to get Mario Balotelli although this is still not clear.

exactly... I agree with you

pogba and di maria have not produced great results for their previous team (even disappointingly) in the last year. During 7 years at PSG, Di Maria could not succeed in helping PSG get the UCL trophy as well as Pogba at MU

The 2022/2023 season is about to start, all clubs have high hopes for their players as well as Juve who hope for Pogba and Di Maria to give good results

[Iranus]

Pogba and Di Maria good performances are no guarantee that Juventus will fight for the Serie A title. The presence of Pogba and Di Maria will give a new color to the Juventus squad, the experience that these two players have can encourage the team's mentality to perform better. Juventus are rebuilding their squad due to their failure last season, I think the main focus for Juventus is on the defensive position, they have to build a strong defensive foundation. If all lines are solid, Juventus will be able to compete again for the Serie A title.

I really don't know if Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria are going to be able to work together very well. Because both of them are used to playing in different types of conditions and both of them have very different play styles. So, I am not so sure about the team composition but it is obviously an upgrade from the last season. And obviously, Juventus has a few problems in the defensive line if de Ligt does leave.

Juventus this season made many changes and it was all inseparable from their poor performance last season that made them fail to compete tightly for the Scudetto.
with the presence of several new players, Juventus does not guarantee that they will get the Scudetto, but at least the solid team they have makes it very likely for them to compete tightly to win the Scudetto.
other Serie A teams are also starting to improve for the better with many changes in their squad, so we will see next season a fierce competition to win the title.

It is most likely to come down to how Juventus begins and finishes the upcoming season. Last season, Juventus had a really terrible start and it looked like they wouldn't even be able to finish in the top four. But towards the end of the season, they really came to life and performed well. If they are able to start better in the next season I think they will be able to have a better result. This is because this time they have a decent team.

After having two good players freely now they are still working in transfer window with most chances now they are looking for some good striker and few good defenders because we all know they are having some trouble in both areas and their management is already in talk with as I am reading on few sites they are interested in Neymar or Ronaldo, but both are not easy transfers for them because both are having very high salary and their transfer is also needed big amount which is not easy for them but still they are in for their best choices, and we can expect some good news from them in coming few days because now recently inter and Roma both are looking good and investing good amount which is creating good challenge in this league.

Being on status a free deal actually very advantageous in my personal opinion, even though Pogba in the last few seasons playing at Manchester United was not as good as in his time, but its very likely that at Juventus there can be hope, to play perfectly he will keep his body fit. But for De Maria I doubt he will good performance at next, maybe more on the bench considering his age that is not young anymore to keep fit, I hope wrong because at there may could be a surprise in Juventus squad.

[izsara]

Matthijs de Ligt's situation is still ambiguous right now. Juventus are trying to be hopeful about keeping de Ligt in the team but there are still likely offers from Bayern Munich and Chelsea in the coming days. Actually Chelsea are interested in Ake at the same time as I said before in another thread. However if they fail then they would increase their attempts for de Ligt. Bayern Munich might be able to steal him from Chelsea too. Because I believe they also need a solid defender now beside Upamecano.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1545750810017021952?s=20&t=PNWIM1LAxmUOmOyeHUeJvA

I don't know if this is true or not but there are reports that indeed De Ligt has reached a personal agreement with Bayern but the price set for a release is still quite large but Bayern will only bring him with 60 million.
Now the Exchange still has enough time to give certainty about this, but it is quite natural for Juventus to want to keep De Ligt because he is still very much needed.

De Ligt is both young and a good defender.  Juventus signed him for a record price. I don't think they will let him transfer for a low price.  Still, of course, nothing is certain. In this summer period, we saw that players who transferred with record prices in the past can go to other teams free of charge. An example of this is Paul Pogba. Maybe Juve can approve this transfer so that such an economic problem does not occur.

Indeed in this case what you say is true because Juventus bought him at a high price at that time so it is quite natural that they hold on and do their best with the prices proposed by other clubs.
But to go for free it's clear it's still a long way to go considering their contract expires in 2024 and there's even been some news suggesting that Juventus want to extend it until 2026 although that was rejected by De Ligt.
At the moment it seems that Bayern are one of the clubs that are getting serious about De Ligt.

this season juventus is very strong compared to last season, they will be able to bring pogba and they managed to bring in Di maria, with that juventus will improve their attack a lot and with the good coach they have, as a juventus fan I can already see that we will win Serie A this season that is about to begin.

Di maria has contributed a lot to PSG and the Argentinian team, I think he should play all 90 minutes constantly and his contribution will be important for us to win many games and be champions

[emrecemsan]

It is good to see that Juventus have finally completed the Pogba deal. It is a four-year agreement which makes me think about whether Pogba will finish his career there also. Juventus are back at his old team after many years. I think Juventus are happy about this deal too because he wasn't intending to stay for more time at Manchester United. He actually waited for a contract extension offer but this didn't happen. Juventus needed this transfer for the midfield so they should be more confident now.

Paul Pogba is 29 years old right now and he is soon likely to be 30 if I am not wrong. So I don't think he is able to be in his peak form for the whole 4 years. But at least the first three years are looking to be really positive in my opinion, or at least that's what I expect. He is a capable player and he is capable of contributing a lot to Juventus. If I remember correctly he is a player who can pass the ball really well and he has really good control over the ball. that is going to be very useful.

why are you so sure Ronaldo will return to Juventus in this transfer window, Erik has confirmed that Ronaldo will stay at Manchester United next season. Ronaldo may have an interest in competing in the Champions League next season but Erik arrival could convince Ronaldo to stay with Manchester United. pogba and juventus did have a pretty good contact even pogba found his golden age with juventus so it's only natural that he chose to accept an offer from juventus. he has been introduced to the public and I see him enthusiastically welcomed by Juventus fans.
