Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Frankolala]

It will certainly be tough for them. Some players are also going to leave the team. That is going to disrupt the chemistry of the team as well. It is certainly going to be hard for them. I am also hearing that there is going to be a big offer for Victor Osimhen to stay on the team. I don’t know if he's actually going to stay or not. But I think Napoli is doing the right thing by trying to keep him in the team. I don’t know if there will actually be successful to do that. But it’s good that they are at least trying.

Today, information has already appeared on the pages of the Football-Italia publication that Osimhen can extend the contract with Naloli, he will receive a salary increase, and besides, he initially wanted to continue his career in Napoli. I saw the news that Chelsea are interested in him, but perhaps 100mn is not the amount for which Napoli are ready to let go of such a talented striker.

But still Osimhen knows that he can earn more money if he goes to another club and he is probably going to be more successful as well. Napoli is a good team, but I don't think that they will perform like that in the Serie A on a regular basis. They will be one of the strongest competitors, but I think it is still a big difference to play for a club like Real Madrid or for one of the strongest teams in the Premier League. I don't expect him to stay, but who knows maybe he knows what he has got in Italy.

I don't also expect him to stay if a strong club is ready to pay the amount Napoli placed on him which is very high. Osinmeh is a good and flexible striker that will perform very well if he sees people that supplies him with passes for him to do the finishing. Napoli wouldn't bring out the best in him and with Napoli he wouldn't win a lot of trophy.

Osinmeh is a man that will love to exploit in football and will prefer playing in a different club rather than playing in Napoli for long. He will fit into Real Madrid if they are ready to sign him. If he leaves Napoli,I don't think that Naopli will be able to win Serial A again.

Napoli will really be bad enough if they let Oshimen go. Because he contributed very well last season and scored a lot of scores, and became one of Napoli's key players in the Serie A victory.

Certainly it will have a certain impact, moreover they also have a new coach which of course will require more adaptation. However, with a coaching style that is quite similar to Spaletti's, I'm sure that Oshimen and the other players will find it easier to adapt and do their best like last season.

 There are still a few more rumors of players who will be brought in by Napoli such as Max Kilman and others. So indeed Napoli certainly wants to defend the next Serie A title even though it feels a bit difficult.

180 million for Osimhen are disproportionate, he had an excellent season with Napoli but a single good season is not enough to give such a high value to victor! Haaland according to this criterion should be worth 500 million minimum! I think Napoli don't want to deprive themselves of their best striker also because they wouldn't find a valid alternative on the market, but if they don't sell for 180 million they will most likely never be offered this amount again to Napoli

I don't think there are any big teams from the EPL who are really serious about Osimhen, because he sided a lot in several offers that came to him so that his interested team withdrew from recruiting Osimhen. Napoli are still adamant they will accept the highest bid or close to their desired price. Apart from that, Manchester United will not be in a hurry to make this transfer, especially since they are in the process of acquiring the club to a new owner.

Apart from that, maybe Osimhen will stay more with Napoli if no team is really serious about getting him. Real madrid doesn't seem to be bothered to spend a lot of money on this signing but they didn't do it for osimhen even though osimhen has expressed his intention to join real madrid.

[Ndabagi01]

I don't think, Napoli will be able to win this Italian league title next season because one of their potential striker is willing to join premier league team next season to showcase more skills in a way he will have a good record from the team like the way he got a good record from Napoli by helping the team to lifted Italian league title this season. I believe, Napoli management will do something fast that will make the team stronger even though they will not achieve next season title, they can take second or third position from the tournament. Next season will going to be a tough season for Napoli, because it will be difficult for the manager to get a young talented striker like victor Osimhen in this summer.

There is always a plan B underneath every move a team makes to cover up if plan A fails in the long term. That is why they are substitutions in football. Since Napoli has recently been connected to other teams who are interested in him, the scouting department would be preparing for that, or perhaps a replacement is already in place. Victor Osimhen's departure will be a significant loss for Napoli in terms of striking and finishing the game on the first touch. Whatever Osimhen's decision is, it’s fine with me because he has done well to catch the attention of several big clubs.

CEO of intermilan has been confirming that if lukaku has become its priotity before the transfer season gonna end.
https://sempreinter.com/2023/07/03/alessandro-antonello-signing-romelu-lukaku-chelsea-priority-inter-milan/

It's clearly a good news for chelsea caused by club doesn't want to keep lukaku even longer in the club. Chelsea needs only to decrease his price and i think that intermilan gonna buy him again as soon as possible.
So many interest came for lukaku but it's still uncertain which club that will able to get him from chelsea.

Juventus, milan and inter have become teams that have interest in signing lukaku.

From what I saw on TV in my country and on YouTube channels in Portuguese, Inter does not want to pay 40 million for Lukaku, that is, for Inter, Lukaku is not worth that price and they also want to pay 30 million and loans, and even so for for inter to carry out this transaction, inter would have to sell certain players, there are some that I saw that they are wanting to sell, but even with that sale, inter would not pay 40 million for lukaku, so I see that inter will choose the path of keeping the lukako on loan, that way if chelsea accepts then lukako will stay at inter. definitely an uncomfortable situation for lukako because in the last games of last season

he saved inter from almost certain defeats by scoring goals that gave inter victories, so in my opinion it would be worth it if inter paid the 40 million, but from what i see inter has focus on other players, which means that even if lukako remains the risk for him to continue sitting on the bench and not in the starting eleven is still a very high risk, the best option for lukako would be to start looking for another club, I heard that he doesn't want to go to arabia, but honestly he is 30 years old and if he got a 3-year contract in saudi arabia then he would have done a good deal, because he would be 33 years old, because if now at 30 years old few teams in europe want him and for the low price, so at 33 no one in europe will want him

I saw the news that Chelsea are interested in him, but perhaps 100mn is not the amount for which Napoli are ready to let go of such a talented striker.

€100m is very logical in my opinion for a player like Osimhen. While he should be the target for all top teams, Napoli aren't willing to let him go like that! For example, Kolo Muani is being targeted by PSG and although there isn't any agreement yet, but signing him will reduce the chances of getting Osimhen.
Now hearing that the player himself want to stay in Napoli then I assume it will be a waste of money to not get that big amount of money from selling him but the positive side, Napoli could be the favorite candidate for the scudetto next season with him in the attack line.

Real madrid doesn't seem to be bothered to spend a lot of money on this signing but they didn't do it for osimhen even though osimhen has expressed his intention to join real madrid.

As far as I know, Viktor Osimhen is close to extending his contract and the problem with increasing the player's salary will be solved to the mutual satisfaction of the player and Napoli. Another question is that if Osimhen manages to have the same powerful next season, even if Napoli cannot repeat the success with Scudetto, I think it will be very difficult for Napoli to keep the player for another season. Yes, and I hope that the club will not cause obstacles by deliberately wringing too huge a price for a football player.

[Uruhara]

180 million for Osimhen are disproportionate, he had an excellent season with Napoli but a single good season is not enough to give such a high value to victor! Haaland according to this criterion should be worth 500 million minimum! I think Napoli don't want to deprive themselves of their best striker also because they wouldn't find a valid alternative on the market, but if they don't sell for 180 million they will most likely never be offered this amount again to Napoli

I think Napoli is deliberately setting a higher rate than the normal price. because they really don't want to lose Victor Osimhen from their squad. and yeah it's true they'd even be hard pressed to find a replacement Osimhen if their Osimhen were to let loose. so by setting a high transfer price is for the big teams to give up on the hunt for Osimhen. And so that Osimhen stays in Napoli longer. But if there is a club that wants to redeem 180 million euros for Osimhen. then Napoli will clearly benefit financially but will be disadvantaged in terms of club performance in the future. because they will lose their flagship player and I don't think they will find a replacement anytime soon.

Osimhen was one of the best strikers last season so it's only natural that many big teams want to buy him from Napoli. I think the Napoli management will already have another striker if Osimhen does leave in this transfer window. Even though the team wants to keep Osimhen for next season, if there is a tempting enough offer, Napoli management will be ready to release Osimhen to another team. Even Osimhen duel partner on the kvaratskhelia front line is also very much related with a number of big teams in Europe.

So it's not at all surprising that if a team really wants to improve their finances then the option of letting go of a star player would be their solution just like Dortmund did. But still there is a significant setback in their depth of strength for next season. For this reason, Napoli management is expected to decide everything that is best for the progress of the club for next season so that it can compete more strongly at the top of Serie A.

Napoli doesn't wanna let him to go the another club. that's why the club was putting such a big wall for him. he looks so expensive but people must understand if it's a part of napoli's strategy to defend him from another club.
If napoli was putting €100 mllions as his release clause and there would be many clubs already triggered it. That decision was coming from napoli as the club is a party that can determine the price for osimhen's release clause.
I think that napoli can find osimhen's replacement easily with that amounts of money. It's likely osimhen will not be leaving from the club in summer.
he will stay at napoli for one more season. It will be also decreasing his release clause as his contract becomes even shorter compared with this time. No guarantee if osimhen gonna win scudetto again with napoli.

Vlahovic is a 23-year-old player who plays as a striker for Juventus and also for the Serbian national team.
He is also quite a talented player in my opinion to make Chelsea interested in making an offer to Juventus for Vlahovic.
The offer submitted by Chelsea was still not commensurate with the performance provided by Vlahovic for Juventus, so it was only natural that Juventus rejected the offer.
Instead of accepting the offer, I'm sure Juventus will keep Vlahovic as one of their core players considering that Juventus really need great players this summer.

True. The offer isn't enough for Juventus. They must reject the offer below the market value. They know Vlahovic is a potential striker and can be better in the future. Vlahovic is still 23 years old, there is still a long time for him to grow his ability. I'm sure Juventus wants him as their future asset, so Juventus prefer to keep him. But if there is an interesting offer, Juventus may change their mind.

I do not understand
In my opinion, Juventus is not in a position to refuse
true potentially it's worth 70, but if they give you 60 and since you're in a bit of a bad way with the money, take it and that's good
there's no point in throwing money with a player who doesn't want to play with you (among other things)

It is not too complicated, you should understand it. Vlahovic is still young, has a good performance, and worth €70 million. If you are Juventus management, you must reject Chelsea offer because it's not worth the Vlahovic's value. Moreover, Vlahovic has stated that he wants to stay with Juventus for a more season. So, Juventus has no reason to sell him at under market value.

Indeed, there is no guarantee that even if Osimhen remains at Napoli, Napoli will win Serie A again next season. But at least with Osimhen still staying at Napoli, Napoli don't have to worry about their attack line. we saw how Napoli got really bad in attack when Osimhen was out injured. And this is what Napoli is afraid of. maybe they are afraid if Napoli can't finish at least in the top 4 next season. But if Napoli return to the title or even manage to finish 2nd in the coming season then I think Osimhen's €180 Million price will absolutely be a decent price then.

for now Osimhen is Napoli's mainstay player and the reason Napoli is giving such a high price is because they really don't want to really sell him and if there is a team that is willing to buy at a price that has been set by Napoli, they have already targeted other players who can still help Napoli dominate the standings next summer. so don't worry too much about Napoli's future in the summer because no one really wants to get Osimhen at such a crazy price and Napoli always has a strategy and a way to stay the best in Serie A.

Victor Osimhen will remain at Napoli for another year since no club appears to be interested due to the bid placed on him. Elite clubs always seek consistent market players. For example, Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen are both excellent strikers for their respective clubs, but in accordance with statistics, Harry Kane is far outperforming Victor, yet the stunning news is that Kane is not even worth £100 million. How can Victor, who only started scoring goals yesterday, be worth €180 million? They're utterly unbeatable in any way, with Victor Osimhen scoring 31 goals this season and becoming Seria's top scorer. A top goal scorer, Victor matches Harry Kane, who has 32 goals and is not even the leading goal scorer in the English Premier League.

Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin is emerging as the latest Premier League star to be targeted by the Saudi Pro League, 90min understands. The Frenchman saw his game time limited last season, making just 12 Premier League starts, and is understood to be considering his options in the long-term. Although there are three years left on his current contract, Newcastle don't see a new deal beyond that as an option.90min understands that a number of clubs have checked on his situation, including Premier League rivals Everton and Crystal Palace. Champions League semi-finalists AC Milan and French giants Marseille are also believed to have shown an interest from the continent.

https://www.90min.com/posts/allan-saint-maximin-targeted-saudi-pro-league?

Saint maximin to go to the ac milan? Why not? As far as i can see that if his performance was being very impressive. I don't know why there are so many club put their eyes on him. He is a very talented player.
Im always feeling amazed by his performance, especially when the match between newcastle against city. Pep has been admitting him as one of the best winger.

It's very bad for eddie howe doesn't give him regular time to play. He deserves more time to play. I think that ac milan was taking the right decision to take him if club can. He can be a very good winger for acmilan.
He is one of most underrated winger in EPL. He rarely gets attention from media.

I am not sure about that as the question I ask myself is whether Napoli did already bring the best out of him and whether he is able to perform even better for a different club or whether he reached his limits already?

That is also the question that Real Madrid is trying to find the answer to since he isn't a striker who cost 50 million, which would still be ok if it turns out to be the wrong transfer. But when a club has to pay far more than 100 million, there needs to be some kind of 99.99% chance that the transfer will be the right one. That is why clubs are hesitating. Osimhen is not Mbappe.

[Bobrox]

I don't think there are any big teams from the EPL who are really serious about Osimhen, because he sided a lot in several offers that came to him so that his interested team withdrew from recruiting Osimhen. Napoli are still adamant they will accept the highest bid or close to their desired price. Apart from that, Manchester United will not be in a hurry to make this transfer, especially since they are in the process of acquiring the club to a new owner.

Apart from that, maybe Osimhen will stay more with Napoli if no team is really serious about getting him. Real madrid doesn't seem to be bothered to spend a lot of money on this signing but they didn't do it for osimhen even though osimhen has expressed his intention to join real madrid.

Interested teams Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea who want to sign Victor Osimhen still not giving official offering for Napoli, despite Napoli still not opening yet with how much transfer fees until right now and their speculation want to make Osimhen keep stay or sell him in this summer window transfer. All teams interested to sign Osimhen not opening yet with bid offer and seems difficult for Napoli sell him or not due waiting most highest values offer from Madrid or Manchester United.

But with linked teams want to signing Osimhen still looks not hurry up for giving their bid offer, I don't think about how serious from Manchester United, Real Madrid and Chelsea want to sign Osimhen after few months competition ended they not open yet with how much official bid offer.

[Velvet78]

Recently the teams I have been hearing about are Chelsea and Bayern Munich to go for Osimhen. Real Madrid are still silent about a big striker transfer but maybe they can decide to intervene in a probable race for Osimhen. Chelsea have signed Nkunku but it doesn't look like this will be it about a striker transfer. They are preparing for a bigger move.

But I have doubts that Osimhen would like to leave Napoli for them while Chelsea aren't even competing in the Champions League. Chelsea might have to offer a really attracting contract to him to be more convincing. If Bayern Munich also make an offer then I expect them to be one step ahead for him. But if we see Real Madrid in this race as well then I would definitely expect Osimhen to choose them.

Selling Osimhen would be a disaster for Napoli... If a deal really can happen, I don't know who can replace this player... Napoli shouldn't let him leave the club, although I wouldn't be surprised if that happens... They let the coach go, now it's about one of the key players... I don't know what they are thinking, but definitely not about high results next season...

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

If indeed Inter still consider Lukaku to be an important player next season, then that's their right. I can't say I don't agree because I know Lukaku as a player who can contribute to the team's goalscoring stats. He's good, but as said and of course his performances have dropped season after season. Inter need a better striker than Lukaku, but Lukaku can still be relied on even if he doesn't completely rely on him.

That is not the case and we have never thought too far about Inter Milan still considering Lukaku to be an important player. But the reality is that they also need a new striker to complete the team next season and last season they had Dzeko as an option when Lukaku wasn't in his best form and also when he was injured. Relying on Lukaku alone will not guarantee a Serie-A or Champions League title race, which is why I think they need one more striker for next season.

As Champions League runners-up they must have a much bigger burden and they are required to be able to return to the final, management and fans will definitely expect more for next season, so their burden will be much bigger in maintaining their position. When it comes to the quality of the players, I still doubt that Inter Milan will be able to maintain their position towards the Champions League final next season.
