Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jatiluhung]

The best move for Victor Oshime should be to Chelsea and not Manchester United. Believe me, he has all the qualities of the striker Chelsea are looking for and needs. They're not involved in any of them European Competition this season is the only limitation I've seen hindering the move of the Nigerian international from moving to Chelsea.
I'm still not sure they'll get anything next season, not to be negative, they won't start with that same energy used last season, the coach and Kim min jae already left.

Victor Oshime to Manchester United? No! For the sake of his career, he shouldn't come to Manchester United, Chelsea would welcome him with warm hands.

No matter the amount Chelsea is willing to offer Osimhen, it won't be enough to lure him away from Napols because they lack champions league football. Manchester united does not have the funds to at the moment to buy Osimhen, that's why they are going after Atalanta's forward Rasmus Hojlund, who's looks like a cheaper alternative. He's young and promising but the move is a gamble. He's not an established striker like Halaand, Kane or Osihmen, though he has shown glimpse of his talents and ETH believes he can work on him to improve his finishing.

So true. Osimhen for this season I am pretty sure he will stay at Napoli. Because until now no club has dared to pay the price for Osimhen's transfer, which is indeed very expensive, even almost equivalent to Mbappe's price.
What's more, Napoli still really needs this flagship striker. and reportedly Osimhen is also in talks to extend his contract at Napoli.

Napoli seems to want to keep him longer by extending the contract and also promising to increase his salary.

Manchester United's current condition is indeed not possible to bring in expensive players. so they will definitely look for alternative players that are more affordable. So that Erik Ten Heg definitely targets young players who still have the potential to continue to experience increased performance.

It is just unbelievable that Juventus have been kicked out of Europe. It is due to problems related to financial fair-play. I thought it would have been limited to only the 10-points punishment in the league. But the problems have got bigger for them by this news. However they were going to join the Europa Conference League so this isn't a huge loss for Juventus I think. But if that happened for the Champions League spot then it would have been a big hit to them of course.

FGIC is not the only party who was investigating juventus. UEFA has been also doing the same thing like FGIC.
It's not as bad as you said. Juventus can only play in the conference league this season. That's why juventus has been taking a decision to be kicked out from europe this year rather than next year once the club will able to play in UCL again for 2024/2025.

Reports from Italian news outlet Corriere dello Sport suggest that Juventus reached an agreement with UEFA. Reports suggest that the club would see themselves move out of European competitions this term completely for the season. The club in this way is reportedly trying to avoid any further punishment over breaching financial fair play regulations and to avoid any new sanctions that might hamper their plans to play the Champions League football in the 2024/25 season.

https://firstsportz.com/football-news-juventus-banned-from-playing-in-european-competitions-by-uefa-for-2023-24-season/

Juventus has been doing it to avoid the further sanction in the future.

Juventus will start off with a clean slate from now on. Allegri is still here though but maybe things might get better in time. In the end they have a really good history with Allegri hence there is always a chance to do better than this with him.

I think that you shall try to read the news again. This is being initiated by juventus to take a sanction. Juventus is thinking about the future of club.

It will make the club able to prevent another sanction that can affect the performance of the club. Juventus agreed to take the sanction now rather than later.

[ampere]

Hojlund is a promising striker. But for now I don't have big hopes about him to just come to the Premier League and score so many goals in his first season already. His scoring performance wasn't so impressive at Atalanta this season. He isn't a striker like Haaland no matter how promising he is now.

If Manchester United want to be competitive for the Premier League title I think they should go for a more experienced or effective scorer. Hojlund would just be an investment into the future of the team. They might need to be quite patient to see him shining. But this is all an assumption of course depending on his performance so far.

Hojlund is a 20 year old striker; a young talisman. Coming to Manchester United to the premier league is good for him and his career because he gets a chance to develop his potentials and be a very massive striker long term. On the other hand, Manchester United is sendng Greenwood onloan to Atalanta to recover and rediscover his form.

It is a good deal for Manchester United; who gets a young striker cheaply too. Will Hojlund be effective? Will MUFC need another striker in the Mould of Harry Kane?
Time will tell.

FULL STORY - https://t.co/zG2WQ1asEP

Bad news for Juventus, sucks.

That's such a bad news for the fans especially due to irregularities and greed of a few board members, from having your hope of the CL and then it was about settling for Europa League, down to the Conference league which by their standard already is an insult to the club's heritage, just to discover that you'll not even be having any European appearance at all this season.

And according to the story on the link, they could still face further sanctions if they qualify for next season's Uefa Champions and Uefa have not deemed this punishment to satisfactory to its deciding team.

This is very bad news for Juventus, one of the best teams in serie A and a team that enjoys competing in the champions league every year. However, since the start of the 2022/2023 season, they have been struggling with various issues that have dropped them from second to seventh place, making it impossible for them to compete in the 2023/2024 champions league the following year. Additionally, there have been recent reports that the team will not compete in the Europa Conference League next season. But to be completely honest, they shouldn't have punished the team in this way; instead, they ought to have pardoned them for their performance in some leagues.

Although punishing a team that violates the rules is not a problem, this should be checked again by board members. This news will make many Juventus supporters feel horrible, and some may view sport as something that no longer makes sense.

Juventus captain Leonardo Bonucci has 1 year remaining contract but there was no attempts from Juventus they will extended his contract and currently he was thinking some offers which come to him such as from Newcastle and Arabian clubs that it says some of Arabian clubs were interested to used his service but it wasn't mentioned which club who want him and i think it's time for Bonucci to thinking his future because apparently Juventus aren't willing to give him contract extension because Juventus feel his performance was decline and last season Bonucci only played 16 times at Serie A i think it's clear he didn't earn trust from Allegri and moved to other clubs would be good for him especially Arabian clubs because these teams possibly will offering huge money to him

Leonardo Bonucci is about 37 years old. For this reason, Juventus will not be interested in renewing Leonardo Bonucci's contract. Leonardo Bonucci is definitely an experienced player. But Juventus will likely be interested in keeping the young talent in the squad. I would say right now Leonardo Bonucci is looking to go to a club in Saudi Arabia. He is old enough. He will not be able to maintain his fitness in a competitive league like Premier League or Serie A. Will be prone to injury. And so he should join a less competitive league like Saudi Arabia or Super Lig.

[CLS63]

It is an undeniable fact that Milan really need a striker right now. They can't move on with Giroud and Origi anymore as none of them would be reliable for bigger successes. Giroud has been better than Origi at least but still he is getting too old and he might not be consistent anymore. Origi is also even far away from his performance at Liverpool. Lukaku was on Milan's agenda but they must have given up their attempts for him after hearing that his priority is joining back Inter.

For now Milan have completed Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic transfers. By the way Landon Donovan criticized Pulisic about not choosing the MLS instead. However I don't think it would have been a sensible move for him. Because Pulisic is still 24 years old and he can play European football for long years instead. He is a decent player as well so there is no meaning in going to the MLS.

Even though he has only one season left on his contract, Bonucci seems quite loyal to Juventus. In fact, he could move from Juventus because New Castle and the club from the Saudi Arabia wanted to sign Bonucci. However, Bonucci chose to stay at Juventus until the end of his contract. If Bonucci doesn't get a contract extension from Juventus, he might choose to retire at the end of the season, who knows? Because loyalty to the club can make players choose to retire rather than move if they don't get a contract extension at this age.

And so he should join a less competitive league like Saudi Arabia or Super Lig.

In the past season, Bonucci had very limited appearances for Juventus and Italy. At the end of season, he played matches for Italy in UEFA Nations League but did not have good performances. He wasted very last chances to convince Juventus but Juventus don't have good finance now and they will use Bonucci like they did with Chiellini in the past. We must be fair with Bonucci that he is not useless and still useful for Juventus if they use him sparsely and give him time to have enough rest and recovery time between matches.

Far in the past, we see AC Milan used Costacurta and Maldini till nearly 40s with this strategy and with limited options to buy new defenders, Juventus will not kick Bonucci out if he still wants to play for them.

Lukaku was on Milan's agenda but they must have given up their attempts for him after hearing that his priority is joining back Inter.

Giroud is too old and AC Milan will not bet that Giroud will play well in a next season. Origi has never been a good striker at world class level so they can not rely on Origi too. Lukaku loves Inter Milan and it's impossible to see him joining AC Milan after his drama with Ibrahimovic and Milanista in the past. In addition, Chelsea only want to sell Lukaku and get money. They no longer want to send Lukaku to any club in this summer with a loan transfer.

Bonucci is loyal to the Juventus club. However, Juventus have no interest in Bonucci after next season. This is because they will not want to waste money by keeping a 38/39-year-old player in the squad. But I don't think Bonucci will retire unless Juventus keep Bonucci in the squad. Bonucci is loyal but needs money. And clubs in Saudi Arabia pay huge wages to star players. And so I think he will sign a two-year contract with a club in Saudi Arabia next season. And then he will decide to retire. This is completely my personal opinion.

With only one year remaining on his contract, Juventus should consider making a decision between extending his contract or not. Juventus are facing difficult times where they have fallen and then hit the ladder, finishing seventh in the standings is very bad and this season is a very difficult season. Seeing a situation like this I think it is very likely that Juventus will make a reshuffle with some improvements in their players, and it is unlikely that they will extend Leonardo Bonucci's contract because we all know that with his old age he will lose a lot of performance and that will interfere in every game. Saudi Arabia is a better place for the last part of his career than the Premier League.

Time will tell.

This is not only about time, but also about an opportunity that must be taken advantage of, because it is time for Manchester United to have a young player in the striker position because next season Manchester United will return to compete in the UCL apart from the Premier League. And Atalanta also needs to keep himself strong in Serie A next season so that Atalanta can provide more strong competition for rivals so that they can finish in a better order and also be able to win the Europa League next season.

My friend, Bonucci is at a career crossroads. I disagree. Although his Serie A playtime has reduced significantly (down to 16 games last season) I don't think it's a performance decline. Allegri's approach and team dynamic may be involved. Have you considered Allegri's penchant for team reshuffles? You think Arabian clubs may make him money. My query: Will money trump competition? He is Juventus' captain - will he simply relinquish that honor? Newcastle might be smart. A legend like him could strengthen their backline and mentor younger players. At this point in his career, could he handle the Premier League's fast pace?

The veteran defender has been linked with MLS and Olympique Marseille this summer, but he has stated that he is committed to Juventus for next season. He's more interested to compete for the scudetto with the old lady's next season, so we'll see how things play out. Leonardo Bonucci has won fundamental trophies with Juventus and is regarded as one of the club's toughest defenders. He's transforming into a bit older, and his performance is continuously deteriorating, making him prone to injuries. I guessed next season might be his last, because Massimiliano Allegri wants new talents in the club that would help strengthen their performance.

After agreeing to not participate in the competition Europa, then the one who will replace Juventus position maybe it is Fiorentina, because in the previous standings Serie A they position right under Juventus. But currently Fiorentina haven't made any new signings player for next season, although there are many loan players who have returned to fiorentina, but I think they should at least sign some players again.

Juventus continues to experience setbacks after case after case they receive now the sanction not to appear in Europe next season is a frightening image. Because in terms of performance it means that they will experience big losses so they will sell several players and try to choose players with cheaper rates.
Fiorentina is still far from expectations, but with what happened to Juventus, of course, Fiorentina has 1 gap that they must be able to maximize properly.

I am not sure whether Juventus Turin has other options to raise funds since they are a publicly listed company, but the future doesn't look bright for them if they also have to fear sanctions or penalties from the UEFA as once the investigation process gets start against them again, it is highly likely that they get a penalty again since the highest court has already made a ruling against them. I don't see a reasonable chance for them to defend themselves against any allegations brought forward by the UEFA. Refuting accusations is no options anymore, it is probably only about admitting everything and negotiating with the UEFA then.

Fiorentina intends to let amrabat leave from the club. There are so many news talked about this recently. It's likely that if amrabat gonna move from fiorentina to the manchester united. It seems like that fiorentina gonna be taken to replace juventus's position in the conference league soon.

https://strettynews.com/2023/07/08/fiorentina-make-sofyan-amrabat-decision/

Even skynews has been also reporting that if MU is now seeking amrabat at new defender for the club. The talks is still ongoing but i saw that if fiorentina has a requirement for united before amrabat will go to the united.
United itself is still struggling with its financial. United doesn't have a lot of budget to buy the new player. MU needs to sell free/tominay first before the club will able to sign amrabat from fiorentina.

I hope that MU will able to secure him as soon as possible.

Maybe you mean Europa Conference League, yeah it is the 3rd competition and the level is under UEFA Europa League, Fiorentina are not worried because their competitors are still at the same level I'm sure they can compete. We know that almost all clubs in Serie A are having financial problems even top clubs like Inter, Juventus and others are not spared from the same problem so there's no need to be surprised if their activity in the transfer window is very low, instead of bringing in new players they prefer to release several players for the club needs during the season.

Fiorentina can get additional income through the Europa Conference League if able to reach round of 16 or even to the finals like last season, Fiorentina still uses the same squad as in the last final so new players are not really needed. This season Fiorentina's income in the transfer window is €8.7 million and without spending.

Juventus captain Leonardo Bonucci has 1 year remaining contract but there was no attempts from Juventus they will extended his contract and currently he was thinking some offers which come to him such as from Newcastle and Arabian clubs that it says some of Arabian clubs were interested to used his service but it wasn't mentioned which club who want him and i think it's time for Bonucci to thinking his future because apparently Juventus aren't willing to give him contract extension because Juventus feel his performance was decline and last season Bonucci only played 16 times at Serie A i think it's clear he didn't earn trust from Allegri and moved to other clubs would be good for him especially Arabian clubs because these teams possibly will offering huge money to him

I am not entirely sure if he would be though, he is just way too old at this point and he is not as famous as these other players and not talented enough for those clubs not to be finding anyone else. Arabian clubs could find someone who is more talented, and probably at least as famous as him as well. The reason why they are paying so much money for these famous players is to get the league to be watched more and I believe that he would not help them on that front.

To be fair he could still find some place in some lower level Italian club though, like whoever is the new promoted club, he could still play there if he wants to, or basically he could simply retire, he made millions of euros, more than 99% of the population would make, he can retire very easily now.

[xzone]

For now Milan have completed Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic transfers. By the way Landon Donovan criticized Pulisic about not choosing the MLS instead. However I don't think it would have been a sensible move for him. Because Pulisic is still 24 years old and he can play European football for long years instead. He is a decent player as well so there is no meaning in going to the MLS.

Agree, it makes sense to go to MLS teams just to make money or live somewhere else. I think it is no different than Arabian teams. You can go to these teams to earn money in the last years of your career, but it wouldn't make much sense to be here at a young age. Prevents you from progressing in your career
