Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

€150 million was old price tag for him. Since napoli saw PSG has interest on him and the club has been increasing his release to the €180 million. Some news has been also reporting this. Napoli saw PSG as a club that will able to buy him with expensive price.

That's right ! Reportedly Napoli increased the price release of Osimhen up to 180 million, now no club want to sign Osimhen apart from PSG because maybe Napoli will increase the price again to 200 million. Because I'm sure Napoli will increase the price of Osimhen again, moreover Napoli also want to get big profits to buy new players. PSG are interested Osimhen probably the only club that can recruit Osimhen, yes because previously they could also sign Neymar with a high price.

Am I the only one who thinks that the deal between Juventus and UEFA looks like it suits all parties? Juventus in exchange for the removal of all charges (the final closing of the issue) will not participate in a tournament that they do not need in any case (Conference League). From the outside, it looks like another "scheme" and not a triumph of justice. It is obvious that the second part of this scheme is the exit of Juventus from the Superleague.
What a shameful European football - corrupt officials do not even try to hide  

Wait, has this been officially announced yet? Regarding the Conference League, damn you are right here that that is a deal or would be a deal Juventus doesn't really care about. But the Superleague, wasn't Juventus considering to step back from those plans a while ago already? Or am I confusing that with something else. But it is an interesting option that you are bringing up here that Juventus signs a deal with the UEFA that they will never support any Superleague plans in the future. We won't even know what else has been done perhaps between officials from the UEFA and Juventus. From all that we know about the business from the FIFA, what is the probability that money changed hands that is supposed to not become public ever? 

Juventus' change of position regarding the Super League "surprisingly" coincided with pressure on them from UEFA for their financial fraud (in which many clubs are involved, but for some reason only Juventus suffered)  
As for the League of Conferences, this is information from July 9 and no one refutes it, I don’t know when the “official” announcement will be, but it’s 99.99% true.

Regardless of what they did in Juventus and the mistakes by other managers in this team I think the punishment for Juventus was not normal at all because this punishment made Juventosto lose the Serie A competition and they even lost the champions league ticket because of losing the points, also the effect of that punishment is not over yet and effect on Juventus and this can change the situation for this team in the next season.

It's quite strange if we look at Milan's current state there are no rumors regarding a new striker for next season and if you look in the mirror at Origi or Giroud, of course his time is running out. Lukaku doesn't seem to like Milan too much because at Inter he always gains trust. I think Pioli has to think of a new alternative for the attacking position which currently needs regeneration and at least Milan should sign a striker who is still quite young. The talent that Rafael Leao has must be put to good use by Milan and I quite agree he must have a duet partner of the same age who can help contribute in scoring goals in every match.

Stefano Pioli cannot do much in the transfer market without adequate financial support, squad rejuvenation and regeneration are really needed by Milan next season. Olivier Giroud is no longer young, plus Divock Origi, who doesn't consistently score goals, makes Milan have to think about looking for other pure attacking options. It's also illogical if they want to target the Scudetto and go further in the Champions League if they don't improve their squad, it's difficult to return Milan to its glorious era like a decade ago.

Until now several official players have been brought in by Milan, such as Luftus Cheek and another Chelsea star Cristian Pulisic, but both of them are actually not positioned as pure attackers or center forwards. I think Milan as a whole will improve next season, the seriousness has been shown by their president Paolo Scaroni who said he would build a Milan squad ready to compete on the Champions League stage next season.

I think Milan as a whole will improve next season, the seriousness has been shown by their president Paolo Scaroni who said he would build a Milan squad ready to compete on the Champions League stage next season.

They want to protect their position within top four of Serie A and if possible, going far in Champions League. They know repeating their success in Champions League to semi final matches is not easy.

Their main focus will be Serie A because they know Roma, Juventus will become stronger. Juventus will not play in either Champions League or Europa League and they will seriously focus on Serie A. Roma will be improved more in their third season with Mourinho. They need to get good results to convince Mourinho signing a new contract after the current contract will expire next summer.

Aware of such threats, AC Milan are trying to get as many new good players as possible.

[Furious 7]

No, it's not a rumor because in the middle of last season there were many who urged Allegri to leave even for the fans of Juventus themselves they wanted Allegri to leave because of the performance they got.
But gradually, Allegri regained trust and now no one can argue with Allegri for the upcoming season for Juventus.
Currently some players have returned to Juventus after their vacation process and some are completing medical tests for the pre-season tour that Juventus will do.
Now they must make it a point of reference that the previous punishment will not happen again and they must look more at the Scudetto race in a clean way.

You were right from the start of last season like Nedved and Agnelli who wanted to sack Allegri on the grounds of poor performance but that didn't happen and it was they who resigned. Allegri was criticized by fans at that time for failing to build Juventus on the standings, but Allegri was able to survive due to the support of the player, who gradually improved their performance. Only one thing that made Juventus fail to close the season in the top 4 was the reduction in points dropped at the end of the season.

Allgeri will race with renewed vigor. Even the management of Juventus can almost be said to be filled by a new board after the era of Angelli and Nedved ended. We hope that Allegri can again lead Juventus in a better direction next season and make better signings in this transfer window to add to their strength.

The plot twist in this story is that Nedved and Agnelli themselves left earlier than Allegri due to sanctions which we know that Nedved was sanctioned to stay away from football for 8 months and Agnelli was much worse because apart from the 60 thousand fine he was also forced not to touch football matters for 40 months with the sanction added a few days ago

Back to Allegri he has a pretty good mentality in the midst of a lot of criticism and I like that he didn't give up and even wanted to prove himself again at this time at Juventus even though the big offer from the Arab club was there and it was very comfortable if he was money oriented.

These rumors are not true about him leaving Juventus because his performance at Juventus was not bad at all.
Allegri could make his team race for the title with Napoli but the bad atmosphere in the team after the penalty had a bad effect this made Juventus to had a bad performance in some games which is not coming to blame Allegri for it.

No, it's not a rumor because in the middle of last season there were many who urged Allegri to leave even for the fans of Juventus themselves they wanted Allegri to leave because of the performance they got.
But gradually, Allegri regained trust and now no one can argue with Allegri for the upcoming season for Juventus.
Currently some players have returned to Juventus after their vacation process and some are completing medical tests for the pre-season tour that Juventus will do.
Now they must make it a point of reference that the previous punishment will not happen again and they must look more at the Scudetto race in a clean way.

last season despite juventus being able to win the games, the central problem is that juventus could not score many goals and did not have a pleasant way of playing, the coach of juventus favored the defense than the attack, so his form of game consists in defending himself and when he scores 1 goal he concentrates even more on defense, it was unpleasant to watch a whole game of juventus against another team, honestly I don't see juventus managing to become champion. they didn't make big signings and lost good players, so juventus will be fighting only for a place in the champions league

I think in this case when Juventus impose more will by attacking too it could not go well especially we know that previously Juventus got a lot of core players who could not play due to injury so Allegri tried to optimize Juventus' game with makeshift players. So for this reason it is quite natural when he plays a little more passively.
At the moment, they are expected to be able to do better only fitness must be kept in mind lest they lose many players again when the season is busy like this season because even in the critical period of Juventus we can see more than 7 players who cannot play for them due to injuries suffered.

Yeah, I also read the news about Juventus. They'll not be part of the European Competition when it begins.
But if you ask me, I think it's a perfect one for them to make sure they channel all of them energy Into winning the Seria A. Allegri has been backed strongly by the management and won't be sacked. If they've been found guilty in any of these said, they shouldn't and wouldn't go unpunished. They deserve a two season ban for that if possible.

It is never good for a club like Juventus Turin to not be participating in the European competitions. I think even if they played the Conference League, it would have better than not participating in any European competitions at all. It is part of taking on the challenge that everything isn't going that well for the club, but that they show to their fans that they are fully there and determined to fix the issues they have created for themselves. They players aren't to blame for this mess, but they are the ones who can bring joy and happiness to their fans in times when there isn't too much to enjoy for them. However, it doesn't hurt as much either if the deal is to leave the participation in the Conference League and in turn settle the dust with the UEFA and whoever is involved.

Despite the fact that Victor Osimhen doesn't have a certain release clause in his current contract with the club, Napoli still wants to make over 150 million Euros should the Nigerian striker leave the the club this summer transfer window.
The club's reluctancy not to let the player leave without a huge transfer fee is because of the player's current striking power. It'll be difficult to find his replacement if he leaves now so they need a fee that can give them the financial strength to get a replacement

I don't know if it's worth 150 million, but 100 definitely is
He's a goal machine, have you seen how many goals he scored!? He's also talented and quite young
In my opinion it's a great investment, I would like Napoli to keep it but I don't think it's possible

Napoli is currently open with offers coming in from other clubs interested in bringing in Osimhen. It's just that Napoli, who really don't want to lose their best striker, certainly don't want to sell Osimhen at a low price. Even some time ago Napoli priced at 150 Million Euros. but then from the news I just read it turns out that Napoli has again raised the price of Osimhen's transfer to 160 million euros (up 10 million euros).

And in fact the high transfer price is also a strategy played by Napoli, which is very clear that Napoli is not ready to lost Osimhen. Even the President of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has also confirmed this. That high price is expected to make enthusiasts withdraw from hunting.
And it seems this way has worked. Because until now no one dared to offer close to that price.

Indeed, it seems become it is time for Milan to rise to have a better long term plan for Milan performance in the Champions League. Because yes, if Milan can prioritize building their squad to compete better in the Champions League. Then of course, i sure Milan will also have a great chance to be able to compete well in the top four in the Serie A standings too. So, it is not wrong about Paolo Scaroni statement because after all, in fact Milan is a Serie A team that has a better title if we compared to other Serie A clubs in the Champions League. Therefore, Milan should not continue to be humiliated or fail in the Champions League, because so far Milan still cannot perform well even if only play in the group stage.

If Ac Milan does not make significant changes to the squad in this transfer window, then it is certain that they will find it very difficult to compete with Team Napoli, Juventus, Inter Milan and As Roma next season. Even though they have a satisfying history, it will mean nothing if they don't improve to build a squad and rejuvenate it. The majority of the players they currently have are very unsupportive to step up and challenge other team candidates in the Champions League.

The arrival of Cristian Pulisic from Chelsea can at least add options for Stefano Pioli to rotate players in the wing midfield sector. But they actually have to make new recruits on the front lines considering that Giroud is no longer at his best level of play, naturally I think because of the age factor his performance has decreased. If Milan revamps their attack line, they could be included in the list of favorites to win the Scudetto.

[FanEagle]

Milan not having any good young players up top is definitely a big deal but I also think that it is going to end up with them being a bit different in the end as well. We can't really make sure that it is going to be a tough situation for them just to get a striker, they should be able to do so. I am not saying get a world star level player, but at least get some 25 year old or younger player that can play on the cup games and league games when the ones they have are tried.

Like Giroud is a great player but he is 100 years old, he is not going to be able to play all that many games and if given the chance he could potentially end up retiring as well, so him being their starter is really not a good idea if you ask me.

[emrecemsan]

For the centre-forward position Lukaku is still one of the strongest candidates. As the player also wants Inter it is only up to a reasonable deal between Inter and Chelsea.

but from what i see lukaku will have to return to chelsea that's because inter don't want to spend a lot of money buying lukaku for a very high price, and chelsea won't sell for the low price either, chelsea has already sold many of their players that they they paid for a high price and had to sell for a low price, making chelsea not profit, so it makes sense that chelsea asks a high price for lukaku, and I doubt that inter will accept paying a high price, so lukaku will have to come back for chelsea

It was one of the biggest mistakes Chelsea have made in their history that they signed Lukaku back from Inter for a whopping 113 milion euro transfer fee. He came back and didn't make a decent contribution at all. Now Chelsea are desperate to find a formula for him as they don't look like they have any plans for him in the team.

If Chelsea are keen on selling him then they should be aware that they can't sell him for a price near the one they signed him back. His value is 40 million euros and the reasonable thing would be to ask for his current value the most. I think Inter wouldn't find paying 30-40 million euros too expensive. I mean they wouldn't if they don't have plans to spend lots of money on some more important transfers.

But in hindsight does it surprise you that Chelsea paid that whopping amount for Lukaku? Chelsea went nuts on the transfer market, it was as if they lost control and they bought everyone who couldn't hide fast enough. There activity in the market was outrageous and of course the clubs noticed that and knew that they could ask any price literally. I don't know whether their plan is to change that this season, but when Pochettino wants to get rid of so many players, there are also many gaps left that need to be filled again.

Maybe it was Chelsea's fault but the last chance was to sell Lukaku to Inter milan and be signed permanently because Inter milan really needed Lukaku to strengthen his club like the previous season.
I don't fully accuse Chelsea of doing anything wrong but there is no other choice but to sell Lukaku to fix the finances for $40 million it doesn't matter the most important thing is that Inter milan can get Lukaku back for next season.

Until now several official players have been brought in by Milan, such as Luftus Cheek and another Chelsea star Cristian Pulisic, but both of them are actually not positioned as pure attackers or center forwards. I think Milan as a whole will improve next season, the seriousness has been shown by their president Paolo Scaroni who said he would build a Milan squad ready to compete on the Champions League stage next season.

Every team are now getting prepared for next season even milan have added a few number of players and are still looking to add more players, which show how serious and tough this upcoming season will be. With pulisic and loftus cheek joining Rafeal Leao and Giroud the team will be a huge boost for Milan but even with their preparation I don’t think they can be a threat in the champions league.

They want to protect their position within top four of Serie A and if possible, going far in Champions League. They know repeating their success in Champions League to semi final matches is not easy.

Their main focus will be Serie A because they know Roma, Juventus will become stronger. Juventus will not play in either Champions League or Europa League and they will seriously focus on Serie A. Roma will be improved more in their third season with Mourinho. They need to get good results to convince Mourinho signing a new contract after the current contract will expire next summer..

All teams are getting ready for the season, seria A will be tough and we could see a different team emerging as the champion next season. Juventus want to revive their self to becoming the champions once again and they are trying to rebuild their team by discharging some players and bringing in new quality players. Milan, juventus, Napoli, Inter and Roma will all fight for the trophy and with the players they are all adding to their squad so I think it will be a competitive season.

The current acquisition of players by AC Milan would certainly increase the chances of the club in winning major silverwares in the new season that'll will commence in August.
Loftus-Cheek is a good midfielder that's capable of commanding the midfield on his day while his former Chelsea teamate Christian Pulisic will be adding more attacking options.

[coinlocket$]

Bonucci is out of the team even if he will not leave he will not play anymore.

I also think he lost his status as captain today.

The new captain will be Danilo.

Juventus' change of position regarding the Super League "surprisingly" coincided with pressure on them from UEFA for their financial fraud (in which many clubs are involved, but for some reason only Juventus suffered)  
As for the League of Conferences, this is information from July 9 and no one refutes it, I don’t know when the “official” announcement will be, but it’s 99.99% true.

I used to think that Juventus got what they deserved, but now (especially after this deal) I have changed my mind. I am against fraud, but when one club out of many is punished (and the rest of the clubs continue their fraud without problems) and the case ends up in a deal (where UEFA promotes its interests against the Super League), then this is complete lawlessness and not the law. Selective application of the law is lawlessness. And European football continues its glorious tradition of corruption.

[wmaurik]

Maybe it was Chelsea's fault but the last chance was to sell Lukaku to Inter milan and be signed permanently because Inter milan really needed Lukaku to strengthen his club like the previous season.
I don't fully accuse Chelsea of doing anything wrong but there is no other choice but to sell Lukaku to fix the finances for $40 million it doesn't matter the most important thing is that Inter milan can get Lukaku back for next season.

We don't know what steps Chelsea will take next to earn $40 million now other than having to sell players like Lukaku. Because we also don't have to consider that as a mistake for Chelsea because Chelsea itself is also in need of the best players like Lukaku next season. Moreover, Chelsea is also trying to improve itself which has slumped last season by trying to get some great players to move better next season. So even if Chelsea don't sell Lukaku, it shouldn't be considered a mistake.

[Google+]

Stefano Pioli cannot do much in the transfer market without adequate financial support, squad rejuvenation and regeneration are really needed by Milan next season. Olivier Giroud is no longer young, plus Divock Origi, who doesn't consistently score goals, makes Milan have to think about looking for other pure attacking options. It's also illogical if they want to target the Scudetto and go further in the Champions League if they don't improve their squad, it's difficult to return Milan to its glorious era like a decade ago.

I think Milan as a whole will improve next season, the seriousness has been shown by their president Paolo Scaroni who said he would build a Milan squad ready to compete on the Champions League stage next season.

Ac milan does have a shortage in their finances, so they really have to reach an agreement with a player that relatively few other teams want to have. Well, I don't think that Ac Milan recruitment is bad, but we have seen that some of the players who were brought in last season were almost entirely unable to make a big contribution to the team. Well I agree with you that Ac milan should look for another centre-forward to be a good option when Giroud is absent. Giroud is too old but his quality is still quite impressive but sometimes the energy wears off and everything so Ac milan has had to sign another centre-forward in this transfer window.

On the one hand, the depth of Ac milan squad is almost like last season, there is no recruitment which is quite great that they did. Pulisic might be a good addition to AC Milan purchase from Chelsea. Apart from that, Pioli also has to see the progress that is being built by their rivals, such as Inter Milan, which are getting stronger when you look at the depth of their squad. So Ac milan must really be ready to enter into the Scudetto title race if Pioli is able to bring in some good quality players in this transfer window.

[Velvet78]

They will need to make up for the striker shortage for Milan. Along with Giroud, a good striker is very important for Milan. Mehdi Taremi may be a good candidate. He had a successful season in Porto and I believe he can be successful in the Italian league as well. I don't know if Taremi will transfer, but Milan definitely needs a striker.

Mehdi Taremi could really be a good option for Milan to think about. His previous season performance at Porto was really impressive. He scored 31 goals in 51 games in total. He is also making an extra contribution with assists - 14 assists in the previous season. These are very impressive stats for a 30-year-old striker.

Taremi's market value is only 18 million euros now but I don't expect Porto to sell him below his release clause worth. It is 60 million euros. I don't think Milan or any other European team would like to pay that much for him. Especially while he is going to be having his last year on his contract next season.
