Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[dezoel]

Napoli hasn't made that much of a big move so far. Osimhen seems to be staying, Kim min Jae seems to be leaving soon, but that's about all that we are seeing at the moment. You guys think they can do it again? I mean I am not saying they are the best team right now, but they seemed like so great last season and if they can get a good defender again and reroll there is a potential that they can win it all over again.

The difference wasn't small, so even if they were just a bit worse, they would still be winning it comfortably and that looks possible at the moment. Of course they lost their manager for some weird reason, should have kept him, if they get a lot worse then I would guess it is not because of the players but because of manager change.

That release clause being made to prevent another club to buy him but if there will be a club that can afford to buy his release clause and that depends on napoli's choice whether the club is willing to accept it or not.
He is not worth with the risk of paying a huge amounts of money. He can fail in the new club. It's pretty much the same like hazard or even mudryk.

Buying expensive player is not giving guarantee if he will be success in the new club.
Sometimes the result may be opposite than what already expected by the management of club. Buying osimhen's release clause will be so stupid.

Keeping Osimhen in Napoli for another season will be a risky move because his market value will not increase more and they risk seeing the price asked halving by the next transfer windows..
There isn't any team that is foul enough to pay more than €120m for him in my opinion and his price will be lowered by the end of this summer transfer window.
If Napoli were more open, they could get a lot of cash from his departure to Bayern Munich or Real Madrid or PSG, or any other club..

I agree with you on this. Because Victor Osimhen had great statistics last season. But if he doesn't reach similar statistics next season, his market value will drop. Moreover, if he reaches the same statistics next season, he cannot reach a level much higher than today's market value. So he is at a very critical level. The president of Napoli should not be more stubborn, he should plan wisely and get the most out of the situation he is in. Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and PSG are known to be in pursuit of Victor Osimhen.

Actually, considering the age of Victor Osimhen, who is still quite young, there is a possibility to improve his performance in the new season and it all depends on where he will continue his career.
Because if Victor Osimhen has the right choice to join a club that suits him, it is certainly not difficult for Victor Osimhen to have a career and improve performance to get a more expensive salary or contract.
I agree with you that if Napoli are not wise in responding to this problem I think they will only be disappointed without getting a large transfer fee if they have to keep Victor Osimhen because if I see it looks like Victor Osimhen wants to try to move to another club.

If the goal is to dominate the league, it's not that hard to achieve. It is enough to make a few transfers to become the champion. But if they want to achieve great success in Europe, things are changing. The team is not bad, but it is not easy to achieve it either. They should definitely include new names in the team and the players should get used to each other

[shogun47]

I believe there is some uncertainty among the interested clubs whether Osimhen is a player who can have an excellent season in the Serie A with a club like Napoli that was performing extraordinarily last season, and then can have a season that is more average than excellent. This would still be ok if the price for Osimhen wouldn't be far more than 100 million. That is a risky investment when there is still doubt that he can constantly score this number of goals for years in a row.

It looks like Napoli is taking advantage of the transfer moment this time to sell Osimhen at a fantastic price, it is reported that Oshimhen's price has exceeded 150 million pounds. There are only a few Clubs who can afford that price, the figure is suitable for a player like Mbappe, but for Oshimhen it is far below Mbappe. lastly the offer from PSG has been rejected by Napoli. If Napoli were to charge that much it would likely be that Osimhen would stay at the Club, and I think that's what they want. By setting a fantastic price, the clubs who want his services will think twice about hunting for Oshimhen's signature.

With the step of increasing the selling price, Napoli can continue their togetherness to defend the title next season, that way they won't have to bother looking for new stickers. Hopefully they can defend the title with the presence of new coach Rudi Garcia. Even though it will be difficult, with a squad that is still the same as last season, I don't think it's too much trouble.

I still doubt that even though there might be clubs that could afford that price, no club will actually be willing to pay that price. I repeat myself but Osimhen isn't worth 150 million pounds. Given that he improved over the years, that he is still quite young and that he also scored quite a lot in the last season in Serie A, I would see him at around 90 million maybe. I think that is still a lot of money for him, but the transfer market is what it is.

Dominating the league isn't that hard, even with Spalletti leaving the team? I will tell you that perhaps Spalletti managed to give Napoli the golden period that they dreamed of for many years, and to miss such a mentor was a very stupid initiative, basically it was De Laurentiis's stupidity, but whoever remembers this, he is not a public figure, while Spalletti knows every fan. Not sure if Napoli can win Serie A again, without Spalletti it will be a completely different team.

The move came as soon as Napoli was eliminated from Milan by losing both games in the Champions League and also going and losing at home 0-4 again against Milan.It was exactly in this moment that Laurentis could not wait anymore and he got what he wanted the glory after 33 years by winning the Serie A,while now he is not at all happy with just winning the Serie A again so he is looking to do better in the Champions League this time.I don't think Napoli primary objective will be the Serie A again as I doubt they have the capacity to win it again two times in a row,other teams have improved a lot now and as such without Spalleti they are looking to go further in the Champions League.

[Leviathan.007]

If we look at the probability of his position, Timothy Weah is a complete player because he can play in the RWF, LB and RB positions. I think Juventus will be greatly helped by his arrival to wade into the competition next season and it is only fitting that he was recruited to replace Cuadrado considering that these two players have a very similar position. I think Timothy Weah will be very comfortable at La Vecchia Signora until 2028 and as a young player he will definitely be the first choice to fill in as a starter for Juventus as long as he can continue to be consistent throughout the seasons.

Timothy Weah is a young player with a hard-working type of game. he will probably play in the position of winger or even wingback. he is a player who has speed, Juventus will probably give him more place in the main squad. but it all depends on how he performs at the start of the season. if he can show consistency in competing with other players for a place in the main squad. I think his career in Serie A will be very good.

I'm sure Timothy Weah is going to play for Juventus for a long time because that's what they do to fill Cuadrado's place in their team. Cuadrado was playing for years in Juventus and now it is time for him to leave, however, Timothy Weah is a young player and a player with 23y old and he can have unstable performance in some games.

180 million is indeed too much for Osimhen. Mbappe was signed for that amount by PSG.    Of course the conditions of that time and now aren't the same. Players are getting more expensive in the transfer market now that we see even average level players being signed for really high amount of money. But I still don't think 180 million can be given just like that to any player. Osimhen is a really talented striker undoubtedly. But is he really worth the risk of paying a huge amount?

I don't think he is worth it now. He is still young and he needs to improve continually to prove his worth.

If his current market value and money placed on him by Napoli is compared to Mbappe market value then it’s probably worth it. But to end all of this, Napoli don’t want to let him go now that’s way a big price like this his placed on him. He happens to be the third most valuable striker in the world now but the consistency is what matters now to any team that is willing to have him by their side. No team will want to pay such huge amount and later not get what they deserve. There’s very high possibility that he’s going to remain at Napoli and this won’t be a bad decision for him to stay back.

And in fact Napoli had deliberately set high rates for Osimhen in the transfer market. This is done so that no team wants to buy him in the current transfer market. Because the Napoli Party realized that the Napoli Club was not ready to be abandoned by Osimhen. Losing the coach who has helped Napoli win the title in Serie A alone is a bad thing for the Club. Then it would be even worse if Osimhen left too. So setting high rates is a good plan made by the Napoli club management. Because if Osimhen turns out to be redeemed at that price. so with the funds received of that size it will allow Napoli to find a replacement which is also quite good with the large funds obtained from the sale of Osimhen. But fortunately at this time no club thinks that Osimhen is worth that price. so that no one dared to bring it. and the clubs that were rumored to be closing in on Osimhen have slowly backed down by now. So I agree that Osimhen will definitely stay at Napoli.

So far no team officially linked with Osimhen and considering the good performance he had in the last season that's weird to see no official offers for Osimhen, but as you said maybe that's because of the high amount of money they have to pay for him, otherwise, teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich could hire this player.

[Oneandpure]

His contract expires on June 30 2027, that's still long enough for Napoli not to worry about losing him. On the other hand, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia still intends to play for Napoli next season, so even if Real Madrid or some other European team wants him then of course he will try to refuse. But Napoli might sell him when they get a lucrative offer in the next few seasons.

With the remaining contract duration three years later, I don't think Napoli need to worry about the future of their favorite winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. However, with quite impressive performance this season with contribution of 14 goals and 10 assists from 33 matches. I think Kvaratskhelia's transfer fee is very expensive and there is no guarantee that next season the transfer fee will still be the same because it depends on his performance with Napoli.

Its more profitable for Napoli sell him above 60 to 100 million euro due impressive performance from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia last season, but has chance if next season his performance drop, Napoli has potential loss transfer market values from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia more than 2o million euro.

Inter want to sign Merih Demiral. Inter seems to be the biggest suitor for Merih, who is not expected to stay in Atalanta. The team playing in the Champions League final wants to strengthen the defensive line. They should definitely get a quality player to replace Milan Škriniar. I'm not sure if Merih is the right name for them. Another candidate is Trevoh Chalobah, but this player has a long career ahead of him to prove himself more. I think Inter should spend a little more money and focus on higher level players.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Marcus Thuram signing is a really profitable one for Inter surely. Because they signed him on a free transfer. As you know they have been in need of solving the issue of lacking strikers after Dzeko - Lukaku duo both have left the team at the same time. It was quite fast that Inter brought a decent striker already like Thuram.

Thuram and Martinez can make a decent duo hopefully. But as two centre-forwards have left the team I wonder if there will be another striker transfer for Inter. I don't think they are broke now. Whenever we talk about their potential transfers they are said to have bad finances.

However I think Inter are currently in a good financial condition to make bigger signings.

Currently, some rumours say that Lukaku does not want to go to an Arab club and next season still wants him to be in Inter uniform and in this condition Inter also seems to be trying to discuss some conditions for an agreement with Chelsea regarding this player.
Inter still cannot be said to be bankrupt, it's just that the financial constraints that almost all clubs from Serie A have indirectly hamper Inter. Now they are trying to revive talks about Lukaku but Chelsea still want a sale and don't want to loan this player back.
The price of 35 million is the lowest for Lukaku and now if Inter really want to return with Lukaku as an option from Thuram and Lautaro then inevitably they must agree to the clause given by Chelsea.

Marcus Thuram is a good attacker and his signing will surely be a bargain for Inter and the fact that he was signed for free makes it even greater deal for the Milan club.
Inter Milan who aren't sure of retaining the services of Romelu Lukaku at the club for next season needed to get a forward player that can play alongside Lisandro Martinez and luckily for them Thuram who was out of contract with his former club was discovered. Inter Milan might be currently facing financial challenges but I think they are handling the situation very well

No official bid for Victor Osimhen? I guess he's not yet a priority for elite teams at the moment. Despite the fierce competition among clubs, Napoli won the scudetto this season. Napoli is an exceptional team with high-quality players, but their performance may suffer next season because its head coach, Luciano Spalleti, left in order to spend a greater amount of time with his family following a long record-breaking season. Victor Osimhen and Khavicha Kvarastikhelia are the best duo in Seria A and Napoli right now. They have a strong chemistry down there; they're constantly there for each other and provide extremely important assists.

I think not every bid will be announced officially. And big teams may think Osimhen price will be too expensive after Napoli wins the scudetto. However, I believe there will be some official bids for Osimhen before this transfer window is over. Osimhen is one of the most valuable strikers in the world, he is a top striker with good potential future. I even think that Osimhen level is not so different with Mbappe, he is skillful and experienced enough in every top competition in the world. I think Osimhen will be very suitable to play in Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. He is s typical of a pure striker who has an extraordinary of shoot accuracy. It is what a top team wants from a striker, a real machine goal. 

[Leviathan.007]

Lukaku is not going to play for the Arabian teams however he needs to get back to his team Chelsea because he was playing for Inter Milan on loan and the loan is over, I think since he had a good performance in Inter Milan and he also likes to stay there, Inter Milan will try to buy this player however they need to pay high amount of money to Chelsea and paying this huge amount of money for a player at this age is not really wise money because even in the good situation Lukaku has, he can't have stable performance in long term.

Yes marcus thuram is a very good signing inter milan did. Moreover, Inter Milan did not spend money to get him because he is a free transfer player. The Thuram signing is also believed to be a suitable replacement for Inter Milan should they fail to get Lukaku back. I think the management job of inter milan is quite good in shaping the squad because they have got the right players for their front line.

Even for Lukaku, Inter Milan have again approached Chelsea to try to borrow Lukaku for next season. Thuram and Martinez will be a stronger duel on the Inter Milan front line next season. I think inter milan will be the strongest team to compete with napoli in the scudetto race.

[asriloni]

Dusan Vlahovic also would be very happy if he could play for Real Madrid, rather than of Joselu I prefer young players like Vlahovic, Real Madrid front line will look very solid if it is filled with young players because there are already Rodrygo and Vini JR. If Vlahovic can performance very well, it is possible that he can be signed permanent by Real Madrid. Yes I also hope Real madrid can find a suitable replacement for Benzema, they don't have to focus on signing Mbappe again because the price is also very expensive.

I hope so but the decision will be on real madrid. I meant the competition to get him gonna be a bit difficult. Juventus in demand to sell him as permanent transfer for the club that will be willing to pay juventus a lot of money. Chelsea has been rumored has interest to buy him from juventus. The way for real madrid to get him as a loan gonna be even more difficult to happyn. It sounds non sense caused by chelsea has been buying so many players that capable to play as striker.
Chelsea may not need vlahovic anymore as the club has jackson and nkuku. I think that real madrid's move become the sense thing right now.
It's caused by real madrid will able to give him so many experience when he will be loaned to the real madrid.

It is what a top team wants from a striker, a real machine goal. 

Viktor Osimhen is a coveted target for many top clubs, but I think that Napoli is not going to sell him yet in this transfer window and therefore has put such a price on the striker about 150-180 million euros. More clarity may come in the winter transfer window and whether the player will extend his contract, which expires in 2025 for another 2 years. So far, everything seems to rest on the amount of the salary increase. And also whether the player will be able to maintain such performance in the future.

[Velvet78]

Inter want to sign Merih Demiral. Inter seems to be the biggest suitor for Merih, who is not expected to stay in Atalanta. The team playing in the Champions League final wants to strengthen the defensive line. They should definitely get a quality player to replace Milan Škriniar. I'm not sure if Merih is the right name for them. Another candidate is Trevoh Chalobah, but this player has a long career ahead of him to prove himself more. I think Inter should spend a little more money and focus on higher level players.

Inter are really in need of a centre-back now after releasing Skriniar. I still don't understand why they parted their ways with Skriniar in the first place. He is a really great defender and he should have been kept for a longer amount of time. Now they will need to find a solid replacement to be able to fill his place nicely.

Merih Demiral is a target for Fenerbahce as well but their chance would be much lower than Inter technically. I'm not sure about Chalobah. I think Inter can find better alternatives than him. Inter should have some decent transfer budget to spend actually. I agree that they should pay more and find a more reliable defender.

[Tony116]

There is none, so far there is no situation that he would be leaving, not because Inter and Lukaku became a great duo or something but because there aren't any teams willing to spend a lot of money for him, and Inter do not want to part ways for free after spending money on basically his recovery.
I guess he is going to stay there for at least another season and provide some goals and show that he still "has" that talent, after that maybe they can find a buyer for him to leave with some good amount. Inter also lost Dzeko this summer as well which means that it is going to be a bit of a tough situation as well. I am not saying it will be easy or anything like that, but he could definitely be a good thing for Lukaku since he will be one of the main strikers for sure.

Lukaku has turned down several offers that have come his way and even a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia has been ignored and he is focused on completing his contract with Inter Milan until 2026. Losing Dzeko will leave Inter Milan's front line relying only on Lukaku and they have no other striker who has quality above both for now, except that in the current transfer market they are planning to bring in another striker who has quality above the two, but so far there has been no news regarding the striker that Inter Milan is after.

Finishing as runners-up in the Champions League is a great achievement and next season I'm sure Inter Milan will try to target reaching the final again. But if we talk about the quality of the available players it will be difficult for them to keep him, because next season there will be many differences between each of the teams competing in the Champions League.

I think the biggest problem for Inter Milan is that they do not have donated depth in the squad. If even one player is injured, it is actually pretty hard for them to replace him. And that is simply not ideal for any club. Of course, Lukaku is going to be a good player for them. Lukaku also has good physicality. But it is not impossible for him to get injured. And that will be very bad for inter. I don’t they should get another striker who is preferably young.

Finishing third in the Serie A and finishing second in the Champions League is obviously a great thing for any club. They have achieved such a result. They should be looking to properly invest in the team so that they can actually find consistent success.

We saw favorable agreements from Inter Milan; they are attempting to restructure the club and make take responsibility in areas where they were deficient. Inter boss, Simeon Inzaghi keen on the club's improvement, selecting and releasing players against the same time, I think it's high time he tries something else, like signing in new talented midfielders and attackers, Romelu Lukaku on the move, Al-Nasser bids but the Belgium international only wants to stay in european football, while united still in talks with Inter Milan goalkeeper, Andre Onana, Inter Milan also needs to make replacement for Škriniar, the more reason I think Merih Demiral will go to Inter milan.
