Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[hd49728]

So far PSG is the highest bidder for this player. According to previous reports, West Ham is the second highest bidder. But I don't understand why PSG is trying to get a striker at this point because they have a good enough striker already in the team!

I don't know what they are planning, but they are not likely to be able to do everything just with attackers in the team. They are probably debating whether to play him as a midfielder, attacking midfielder, or winger on either side. As long as the authority is not strong, I don't think any of the problems of PSG can be solved. I do not believe that it will be in the next season either.

Scamacca does not have too many seasons at top performance and it is a risky transfer for PSG. Maybe they consider about another successful transfer with a young player from Italy like the transfer with Veratti years ago.

They bought Veratti even he did not play a single season in Serie A. After a good season in Serie B with Insigne and Immobile, Verrati moved to PSG in surprise of all people in Italy.

Scamacca had seasons in Serie A but still need more time to verify his quality. I think between Ronaldo and Scamacca, Scamacca is betted for a long run.

Napoli may do something similar, gain a ton of money, but spend it in operational stuff or debt repayment or something like that, and not players.

Today business is the main thing. Napoli already has such an orientation, as long as the club is financially healty it doesn't matter. They are famous for producing quality players, they often buy several potential players at low prices. After that they sold it at a pretty high price. Indeed, I heard they just bought 3 new players, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Mathias Olivera, and Andre Zambo Anguissa. All three are less than 40 million euros.

I really like this sales policy of Napoli. They really get serious income by buying a player and making a star and selling it. There are very few teams in Europe that have done this in the past. I can say Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Portugal teams that come to mind. Napoli is one of those teams. By selling one of these transfers, they can earn more than they spent this year.

Although it is good for their finances, but such things should not reduce their value in competing. I don't mind this kind of thing, because after all the team needs to do business in order to maintain their finances. So far I see Napoli can still be balanced in terms of advantage and competition, I hope they can further improve their competition in the competition.

on the other hand, the friendly match between Koln against Ac milan was quite exciting, I saw Oliver Giroud look stunning in that match he bought 2 goals and led Ac milan to victory in the friendly match. Oliver Giroud second goal made the crowd roar because the goal was born quite beautifully. However, if we look at the statistics, Koln dominates the match with 51% ball possession and AC Milan is superior in completing passes. but unfortunately in this friendly match there was no new AC milan player Divock Origi.

I watching the highlight that Koln were slightly dominated the match but Milan counter attack were very effective and can scoring 2 goals from Giroud and besides him i think Brahim Diaz also playing well but yesterday not only Milan who has match because Inter too has starting they pre season game and against Monaco Inter failed to win even on the first match Inter conceded 2 goals but final results is 2-2 and Lukaku made his debut but he cannot score goals in that match

Even though Inter only got a draw but it is still a good result and even if they lose they will still be fine because this match is just to try some strategies with a lot of players too. Therefore, although this was an important event but they did not prioritize the end result to win. Because if the results are lost and also won, it will still be a data that will be an analysis for the coach to start the new season with good preparation.

I haven't heard any rumour relating Luis Suarez to Milan now. However he seems likely to go to the MLS these days. The most recent rumour is even related to D.C. United from the MLS. He would make a good amount of money also I assume and he can even end his career there. If he decides to stay in Europe then I would like to see him back in the Premier League actually. Maybe not at one of the biggest teams but teams like Aston Villa would be nice for him.

There are serious rumors about this because just two days back I read on a site where he is announces about this all that he is considering to go to the MLS with most chances LAFC or NYFC both are his favorite destinations but right now he is just in talk about this all because he wants to play until start of World Cup, so he believes better option available for him is to go in MLS.

But, few are feeling maybe he is going to reunion with Steven Gerald at Aston Vila which is also in talk but nothing is sure about this deal because most chances know he personally wants to go in MLS, and he will stay there until end of his career which could be good for him in financial terms.

[swogerino]

As far as I know, Luis Suarez has already received 5-6 MLS offers and he is considering them.

Yeah, he probably declines Italy.

About Monza, the new team for Berlusconi and he wants to create the hype around the team, he has the money but players will refuse it because of the low value of the squad and low value of the league.

We know the low value of the league but if Berlusconi manages to get some top players in the team it will skyrocket as team and probably we will see some strong performance from such teams in the Champions League.The only problem is to convince the players to come to play here which is difficult but we have seen in the past that money create wonders as we have seen even better players than Suarez going to play to China League for huge amount of money and there also the league is of low value.I wish Suarez comes to Monza compared to the MLS league,we need to see some upgrades where it needed the more.

yes that's true, this is just a friendly match where the coach wants to test a lot of things including rotating players to find the right tactics.
On the other hand, the opponents facing AC Milan I think are not commensurate and from the whole friendly match can not be used as a reference to start the new season.
In terms of players, I am a little pessimistic about AC Milan, because they haven't made many changes while their competitors such as Inter Milan and Juventus have made quite a big improvement for next season.

If money is Suarez's choice then obviously he will go to MLS rather than the Aston Villa you mentioned. But if he still wants a career with a high level of competition then the Premier League will be his choice. For now I also still have not heard clearly where he is going. Because there is very little news about this player right now. Just some news that I doubt its credibility.

the fact that Juventus, it seems, has given up on
- Chiellini
- Bonucci
effectively puts the team in a defensive emergency situation
remember, Juventus generally plays 3-5-2
you need a solid defense and wings that run

I ponder why they have not yet replaced Chiellini already.
Also sure they will not stick to this style of formation this season.
They used the formation to win three straight trophies for Juventus with Allegri and Conte.

Yes, I think Juventus should start to replace that formation, because now they can be said to lack strength if they return to implementing that formation. There were various kinds that they had to pay attention to if forcing the formation that had become their mainstay lately. I don't think it will go well now.

According to one news portal, Matthijs de Ligt has accepted Bayern Munich's offer but as before, Juventus do want a high price for this player. A club as big as Bayern Munich will basically have no trouble fulfilling Juventus' wishes. Moreover, Bayern Munich will also get fresh funds after releasing Lewandowski. That way, Matthijs de Ligt's transfer transaction will only wait for time, just imagine that Barcelona, which is in financial difficulty, finally managed to recruit Lewandowski after long negotiations. So, in the case of Matthijs de Ligt, Bayern Munich is only trying to get a lower price to reduce spending, but in the end this transaction will certainly be completed as well.

Try to use keyword with De Ligt to Bayern Munich but not find anything with new update except news last three days, I think looks not have chance with de Ligt move to Bayern Munich for next season, according still not any confirmed yet from Juventus and believe with de Ligt keep stay with Juventus for next season. Looking with central defender position, Juventus not have many option if try sell de Ligt to Bayern Munich, have loss Chiellini last season and not extended contract I think bad choose if ty selling de Ligt, Juventus failed to get Koulibaly sign and looks not trying to sell de Ligt before getting who will replace position leaving.

Bayern Munich was offering €90 million for De Ligt, if I am not wrong. And that is something that cannot be overlooked. So even though we are not hearing too much about anything from Juventus right now, I think they might still have some chances. It was recognized at the time that the €90 million offered at the time was a huge sum. Juventus could really use that type of money right now because they have a lot of problems in the team. That amount of money could fix some of those problems.

Juventus would be better off if they could sell this player for €90 million and get some more defenders. Right now, the defensive lineup is the weakest point. I think that would be a viable option. And I also don't think that Bayern Munich is willing to offer any more than €90 million. So if they want to sell this player and get all that money this is their chance.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is likely to be signed by Milan again according to some news. I assume that it would be a one-year deal. Zlatan is still ambitious about playing professional football despite his age. He is still very strong also. He is injured for a long time though and he would most likely be able to play after the first half of the season passes. I wasn't expecting this deal so early because of his lasting injury actually. But this is only a rumour for now of course.

The rumors seem to be coming true, reportedly AC Milan will announce the extension of Zlatan Ibrahimovic contract by next week. He also recently had surgery which will keep him out till January 2023. I'm confused by AC Milan, why do they want to extend the contract of a player who can't even play until next year, does anyone know the reason AC Milan will do this?

Milan just don't want to lose him because of some bond between each other I guess. Zlatan has led the team very good so far even though he wasn't very impressive by performance last season. His presence and directives must be like an extra motivation for the team. Otherwise as you said there would be no meaning in extending his contract. I still find it awkward to sign him already now as he is out for a half season though but it is up to their choice in the end.

the current situation does require them to use a different formation and tactics because the players who play as defenders they currently have are different from before, now they have failed to get a replacement for Chiellini and also now rumors are very close that De Ligt wants to go to the club. other clubs of course I think it will be more difficult for Juventus if he leaves because to find a replacement is really very difficult, but it's still a rumor going around, hopefully it doesn't happen. while on the other hand Juventus are very serious about overhauling their squad in midfield and front. maybe the coach knows what they want, with how active they are in this transfer market I'm sure next season juventus will be better and will be serious contenders for the Scudetto.

The reason Milan extended Ibrahimovic's contract is because he is still considered a key figure in the Milan squad, even though he is almost 41 years old, Ibrahimovic still makes an important contribution to Milan. Apart from being a key figure in the Milan squad, Ibrahimovic is also a key figure off the pitch, he is an experienced reference for other players, especially young players. Although Ibrahimovic's recent surgery will keep him out until January 2023, but Milan still want to extend his contract.

At a press conference, Milan said that Ibra's contract would be extended but he is likely to play in January 2023. even though ibra is 40 years old, last season his performance was really amazing

Ibra's passion and sharpness in scoring goals will be difficult to fade, this is what I believe makes Milan continue to believe in Ibra even though there are many other young strikers out there who dream of joining Milan

I don't quite understand why they want to do this, but they must have a reason.  Their contribution to the team is not to be underestimated.  He was playing successful matches for Milan for his age.  But I don't understand why they would want to extend the contract if he can't play until 2023.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic deal has already been done if I am not wrong, Milan has made a deal with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the deal is, as he is going to be injured for the first eight months of the 1-year deal, they are planning to pay him a salary which is a little less than 50% of the actual deal, and for the last four months, they will be paying him the actual salary.

That's how the next year of his contract is supposed to be. And this is a very favorable contract for both parties in my opinion. Zlatan is already 40 years old and he is obviously not healthy enough to be able to play at the top of any competitive league for long. Milan is also not going to waste a lot of money with a deal like this.

Most expensive values I think if Bayern Munich give offering about €90 million for De Ligt, but have bad impact for Juventus if accepted offering from Bayern Munich. They have loss Chellini and right now Juventus miss out foe getting Koulibaly from Napoli. If really not have any new reolacement for de Ligt and Chellini who will be partner for Bonucci on defender poaition? Better not accepted with offering from Bayern Munich trough Juventus still not find with replecement for de Ligt, although most fantastic values. Losing de Ligt make Juventus loss potential defender player.

They still believe in De Ligt at the moment, even though if we look at De Ligt now his position is not safe.
They have already lost Chielini this season and it is very likely that De Ligt will leave too.
They need a really tough defender now and they still don't have any steps, whether they are currently going to use the remaining defenders as a starting line-up or indeed they don't care about this I think this is a risk for Juventus.

3-5-2 is a common formation for Juventus. Giorgio Chiellini has already left from turin and continued his career in America with Los Angeles FC.
Matthijs de Ligt continues to be linked with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
Now the 3-5-2 should be tried a new formation like the four defenders often used by other clubs.
I recommend a 4-3-2-1 formation for Juventus starting next season.

There has been growing speculation that Chiellini left Juventus as Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup and Matthijs de Ligt is also rumoured to be no longer at home at Juventus.
