Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[BitcoinHunt3r]

This is getting weird that a player like Osimhen with his young age and good performance he had in Napoli didn't get any official offers and the only team close to hiring this player is Liverpool while Osimhen can even think about Real Madrid or Bayern Munich for the next season.
I think if somehow Osimhen doesn't accept any offer to join any team in the future Napoli can have the chance to use this player for the next season, otherwise finding a player at this level for a team like Napoli can't be easy at all.  

Actually some teams are interested in bringing Victor Osimhen like Real Madrid and Manchester United but the problem is that Napoli does not want to release Osimhen if it's under €100 million while other clubs consider the price too expensive, until finally Napoli and Osimhen were close to the agreement for a new contract extension so this season 2023/2024 can be sure that Victor Osimhen will not move anywhere. I wonder why they think €100 million is too expensive although Napoli spent €75 million to bring Osimhen that's normal if Napoli benefit from its release.

I am curious about the performance of Osimhen the following season under the new coach Rudi Garcia, if he is able to get a top scorer for the second time then I'm sure the price of the release is definitely more than 150 million.

Yes, with current market prices, 100 million for a young player (presumably a top striker) is the usual price. If Osimhen proves his qualification for the second season in a row, then his price will indeed be no less than the amount you named. And I think this development of events is the most likely - if you look at his statistics, he is making steady progress, it can hardly be called a "good season" or a one-time surge.

Maybe they still have doubts about Osimhen, doubts like the performance might not be as expected or something like it would be a disappointment if they spend that much money. In fact, if they believe Osimhen can provide good results and or performance for the team, then of course they will still be able to spend that much money to get Osimhen. But yes, it seems that one of the things that is a consideration and a concern too is, if in fact Osimhen really wanted to leave in this transfer market and it didn't materialize. So maybe this will also have an unfavorable impact on Osimhen's performance later, because he no longer has the comfort of the previous season.

If i was in Napoli management i wouldnt sell him below 100mil. He is in his prime now and dominating and probobly next to Haaland the best striker in the world. Real Madrid probobly wont waste that amount of money. Man Utd maybe but still i think he is really expensive at the moment and will probobly stay in Napoli for another season.

[MAAManda]

I don't expect to see big changes happening for Napoli due to the reason I mentioned. They are even likely to keep their most important players in the squad for now as well. This should be enough to keep them in the title race in the Serie A again.

They will only be in the title race but I doubt they (Napoli) can do as much as they did last season, especially their manager is not Spalletti anymore. There will be a lot of changes going on there later, I just hope they're not the same as Chelsea in the EPL who are a big team that has slumped. If that happens, of course people will be confused by the setback they are experiencing.

Maybe too expensive Sir, because the rumors are Napoli can release Osimhen if there is an offer above £ 120 million, quite expensive but maybe that is Napoli strategy because after all they are not willing to lose Osimhen in this summer transfer window. Every season Osimhen performance has improved at Napoli, without that man Napoli certainly would not have won the Scudetto. So it makes sense that the price was increased and may will be retained for the new season, also Napoli will also find it difficult to get a new striker who can replace Osimhen position.

Indeed Rudi Garcia will be the person most responsible for maintaining Napoli's consistency in the next season and I hope that if he doesn't give the same expectations as what the fans want, I hope everyone can understand that. Moreover, Rudi Garcia is not a perfect person and managing Napoli with the pride of all his fans is not easy.

although some people believe that Rudi Garcia is a coach who can bring new changes to Napoli, I'm not sure. we know that Spalletti has a lot of experience and to make a good contribution to Napoli takes a little time while Rudi Garcia doesn't have too much experience yet and hopes to be able to make a difference for Napoli? let's see what happens but a little skeptical of Rudi Garcia.

I thought that Napoli would be able to bring in a well known coach who has achieved great success in the past, but this change is not very special in my opinion. It is an ok change from Spalletti to Garcia. Napoli played such a great season that their ambitions will be high again, but is Garcia the right man for that?

What is Spalletti now doing and did his contract terminate or did he or the club decide to part ways? So far it seems that he didn't sign a new contract when I try to google for it.

I wouldn't want to sound disrespectful to Rudi Garcia but I don't think he's the best man for the managerial position at Napoli after the departure of Spalletti.
Napoli needs a manager who can perfectly maintain the kind of confidence that's been initiated by the outgone manager Spalletti which I don't think Rudi Garcia can do it. It is one thing to win the title but a whole different thing to retain and I don't think Rudi Garcia can help the club retain the title

That is the problem I have with managers who are supposed to achieve something that the team itself has never achieved before and the manager has also never been there. I think in these constellations it becomes critical as soon as some weakness comes to the surface during the season, when the team starts to struggle without any good reason. That is the time for a coach to bring in all the experience from difficult situations that he has gone through. That is authentic and trustworthy. If a coach doesn't have that experience, it is much harder to convince a team of something to be possible that seems rather impossible. It's a difference if Guardiola or Mourinho or Klopp tell you that a game is not lost or someone like Garcia.

[klidex]

I agree with you. We have seen great work from Spalletti last season. He was able to keep the players of the squad confident. This is why Napoli has been able to play consistently well and dominate Serie A. Spalletti was friendly with the players. He was able to spot the weaknesses within the squad easily. I don't think new coach Rudi Garcia can do that. Also, several key players in Napoli's squad have left the team. Overall I think we won't see the dominance of Napoli in Serie A next season.

I agree, most likely Napoli will not be able to repeat their success in Serie A. Spalletti was good in Napoli, but such an understanding between the coach and the players does not always arise, you remember the times when Spalletti was the coach of Roma. Then there were many conflicts between the coach and the players, and what is the conflict between Spalletti and Totti worth. In those days, Spalletti was perceived by me rather negatively. Sometimes it happens that all the components add up and an excellent result is obtained, which seems impossible to repeat again.

Rudi Garcia may not be able to be like the old Napoli coach but I'm sure that Rudi Garcia will provide new experiences and give the best for Napoli even though one day there is a conflict that is a common problem in football.
But what is certain is that we have to try to give Rudi Garcia confidence that everything will be fine and hope that success can be achieved again like when he was with Spalleti.

I have similar opinion; with a new coach in Napoli i do not think they are willing to lose any of their star players. Osimhen will remain in Napoli for atleast an extra season as Napoli tries to do win the Italian serie a back to back times. Also, i think 120M for Victor Osimhen is cheap

Napoli appoints former Al-Nasser coach, Rudi Garcia as their new head coach, he's a good replacement for Luciano Spalleti. Napoli performance next season would not decline, they will try to maintain their peak. The club is cooperated and they will even strive harder to achieve more titles. Their top striker, Victor Osimhen is a prominent striker in the club and his presence brings tough threats in the minds of his opponents. The Nigerian borne striker is valued over €120million, I do think he's overhyped because he's only consistent the previous season which his club won the scudetto after 33 years.

The change of Napoli's coach will be a big strength with the new strategy that will be used. We all know Napoli reigns over the top of the Serie A standings and leaves all the teams with the highest points tally. By having a TOP striker like Victor Osimhen Napoli are confident to continue to pose a threat to their opponents.
Victor Osimhen also seems to be a threat to other clubs such as Real Madrid who are planning to be given a salary of 100 million Euros, but Napoli gave a salary of 120 million Euros so he can sign a long contract for Napoli. Apart from Victor Osimhen, Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo is also one step away from signing a long-term contract with Napoli. this proves that Napoli will not give up its great players just like that. president Aurelio De Laurentiis doesn't want a complete overhaul, so is working on new contracts for a handful of players.

The fact that not so many clubs are reported to be bidding for the signature of Victor Osimhen after his spectacular performance with Napoli last season doesn't mean that the  player isn't attracting any suitor. The transfer window is very dicey, many clubs prefers to secretly conclude that transfer dealings before bringing to public notice in other to avoid too much competition from very Rich clubs who would potentially outbid them
Victor Osimhen is one the hottest strikers in Europe which means that there will definitely be suitors for the young Nigerian.

If that happens, of course people will be confused by the setback they are experiencing.

maybe I'm getting too ahead of myself and with that I'm wrong, but in my opinion I don't see Napoli having any chance of winning Serie A again next season, Spalletti won't be in charge of the team and that in itself is already a big change, even if napoli kept more than 70% of the squad of players, that would not be enough, because the main element of the squad is the coach who is no longer in the team, so expect that a new coach will make the change team achieves the same performance as last season, I honestly don't think it will. That's why I see inter or milan or juventus as likely winners of next season's serie A

another point that I didn't even see much sense in was napoli after seeing that spalletti will no longer be coach they kept osimhen's price high even knowing that napoli won't have the same results in serie a and champions league and with that the Osimhen will be very undervalued in the market, it would have been good if Napoli sold him in this transfer market because they would sell him for a good price, but from what I can see, Napoli's management thinks that Napoli was the eternal winner that they were even blind to the tough reality that the team no longer has the same coach

So it makes sense that the price was increased and may will be retained for the new season, also Napoli will also find it difficult to get a new striker who can replace Osimhen position.

I see that Manchester United have withdrawn from signing Osimhen because the price was too high. It is very natural for the Napoli team to want to release Osimhen at a high price because he is a key player in the Napoli team. There is even interesting news where he expressed his intention to stay with Napoli next season. So in that case he will probably sign a contract extension in the coming weeks.

Previously, Osimhen was the attraction of big European teams such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea, but day after day they chose to withdraw from their interest in Osimhen because the price was very high. So there is good value for Napoli if they can keep Osimhen to stay with them next season, of course they will be more consistent like last season.

There's no club that interesting to sign him due to the his price tag. Napoli puts nonsense price for his release clause. Osimhen is not achieving a lot of achievement in his career. It will be so pointless to think if there will be so many clubs interesting to sign him.
Mbappe is even worthy compared with osimhen if we are talking around 150m or even more.

I think if somehow Osimhen doesn't accept any offer to join any team in the future Napoli can have the chance to use this player for the next season, otherwise finding a player at this level for a team like Napoli can't be easy at all. 

Osimhen already stated his interest to join in manchester united but since united is not even interesting to sign him and he shall do nothing for that.
Just stay in napoli for another season till his contract gonna be expired. That's it.

I see no chance for him to leave from napoli in summer. It's caused by the fact that osimhen is still also willing to stay a bit longer in this club.

Napoli's defense will actually be a little weaker because of the loss of one of its best defenders, Kim Min Jae. and Rudi Garcia as the new coach may also not immediately be able to blend in with the Napoli game that Spalletti has built. So basically there are still a lot of worries for Napoli in the coming season. And do not rule out Napoli could have a setback. but I also hope that Napoli can still maintain its best performance. and I hope Rudi Garcia can bring Napoli to be better not only in Serie A. but also to be better in the Champions League.

No friend. A change of coach will be a blunder for Napoli next season. Even though he is still decorated by the existing squad, if the coach is unable to provide a more impressive strategy in every match, of course it will be a difficulty for Napoli next season. Like Chelsea where the change of coach has dropped their mentality up the table. But we don't want to see that at Napoli and we hope they can be more successful next season.

For other teams, of course they will provide more impressive competition next season, such as Inter Milan, which is building a stronger squad. Inter milan is a strong candidate as a competitor with Napoli in the race for the title next season. Thuram presence will bring fresh air to Inter Milan's front line next season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

That's right, I didn't even suspect that Napoli's star players like Osimhen and Kvaratkelia would still want to stay and at the moment the rumors that have been circulating are not making steps for key players to leave. Indeed Napoli must prove their consistency next season with their new coach and at least they must try one more time to prove that Napoli is still the best team for next season. Kim Min Jae is indeed the closest to leaving, but even if he leaves Napoli, surely the management will have prepared a replacement for him later.

regarding Kvaratskhelia extending the contract with Napoli this is true but for Osimhen isn't this still a rumor? because there is still a lot of news that Napoli will release Osimhen this season for a very extraordinary price and several other teams are chasing Osimhen to buy because he has a very good performance.
but if indeed Osimhen decides to extend his contract with Napoli this will be good news because at least one more season Napoli can still dominate Serie A.

The truth is, I don't think Napoli will continue to dominate Serie A, I see teams like Milan, Inter, Juve, Roma who want to take over this competition, they don't want to leave anything to chance, whatever they want to take, this time I see a Series Much tighter and with a lot of desire to win on the part of the teams, this is what I like about Serie A, the turn that we all want is finally taking place, it could be said that if they continue with this rhythm, the Serie A can recover the level of many years ago, which was the Number 1 League where all the best players wanted to play in Italy.

I have similar opinion; with a new coach in Napoli i do not think they are willing to lose any of their star players. Osimhen will remain in Napoli for atleast an extra season as Napoli tries to do win the Italian serie a back to back times. Also, i think 120M for Victor Osimhen is cheap

Well I have to admit something, Napoli here is playing with everything, they are not kidding, they really want to do things very well, from what I have seen on the news I am surprised that they have offered such a large amount of money However, how can I say no in the face of a tremendous salary, and the advantage is that he should not adapt to any team, because the team knows how he plays and knows how he has to do to Score goals , so it is a very good Plus for Napoli.

The news has always been one of the biggest things that is done along this hard path of football, because I was totally sure that Osimhen was leaving for Madrid, because the opportunity is unique , not everyone tells him that he is not to Real Madrid, that is Something that Sounds very Hard to do , unless you wanted to play for Barcelona.

Now Napoli have to make a big move:

Itakura ‘near to signing’ for Napoli, despite Al-Nassr offer

The centre-back was mentioned as one of the candidates to replace Kim Min-jae, who has effectively completed his transfer to Bayern Munich for the €50m release clause.

He probably will not be the only addition to the defence, but it certainly seems to be an imminent move to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

A source close to Itakura was quoted as saying they had an offer from Al-Nasr on the table, but it was Napoli who were “near” to signing the 26-year-old.

President Aurelio De Laurentiis realised with Kim Min-jae the importance of having a player from South Korea to boost their brand in Asia, so the next logical step would be a Japan international to plug into that lucrative market.

Source: https://football-italia.net/itakura-near-to-signing-for-napoli-despite-al-nassr-offer/

It seems that Napoli really liked winning, but who doesn't? We all know that it is a team that can win again if it opposes it, this despite the fact that the other teams are arming themselves with great players, Serie A is not just any league, it is becoming one of the most fought over, and we have already Seeing that things in Italian football have improved a lot, they have reached the Champions League final, which is very good for Italians, we have seen a great demonstration of football, and in part that is something that fascinates me and that I would like Let it continue like this, in fact Inter reached an instance where it lost almost due to very minimal errors.

[Dewi Aries]

So basically there are still a lot of worries for Napoli in the coming season. And do not rule out Napoli could have a setback. but I also hope that Napoli can still maintain its best performance. and I hope Rudi Garcia can bring Napoli to be better not only in Serie A. but also to be better in the Champions League.

I thought so too when Napoli sold one of their best defences then there will be a risk of weakness in the defense I don't think why Napoli did it maybe they need extra funds for next season's competition? indeed most of the teams in Serie A are experiencing financial problems that's why they release more than they bring in. Regarding Rudi Garcia I'm not too worried because he is not new to Serie A he had been a coach on several teams there including AS Roma and his experience is not to be doubted it's just that it does need a little adaptation but that's not the main obstacle.

[FanEagle]

Kim min jae is 100% gone, that much was known already because he had a pretty good release clause, works both for the team and him as well because nobody that can pay 60 million from Europe would be a bad team, they are capable of actually paying that money which means they must be a decent team. From what we see it is going to be Bayern and as everyone knows that's going to be fine.

Osimhen is a weird situation, because Mbappe seems to be staying so far, and he is not leaving anywhere, and the news about Osimhen was that PSG wanted to get rid of Mbappe and him complaining and not signing contract and all that, Mbappe clearly wants to leave so they want to sell him and use that money to buy Osimhen, but so far Mbappe insists on staying and leaving free next season.
