Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Juventus will start a new era under the coaching of Thiago Motta, so there will indeed be many changes that may occur next season, Juventus is currently starting to target many players who are indeed needed to support Motta performance next season, Juventus has experienced a significant decline in performance although they are still able to compete in the top tier of Serie A but they actually experience inconsistency in their game so that Juventus slowly makes Juventus Eliminated from the Scudetto title race last season, Allegri has been at Juventus long enough that he has managed to instill his philosophy of style of play which is now quite old-fashioned, so it will indeed take a long time for Thiago Motta to rebuild Juventus to play modern football.

Currently, Thiago Motta has tried to recruit some players that are needed and will be adapted to the style of play and also the strategy he has applied so far, Thiago Motta is of course a pretty smart coach, so I think he will be able to build Juventus to compete again in the scudetto race in Serie A but even so, of course Thiago Motta needs the support of the current Juventus management and fans for do it.

I have to say that we are talking about Motta making some bigger changes and that should be the most important change for them. Surely some players situations could end up having different results as well but that doesn't mean that we are going to get anything greater. I think player changes are much less important than manager change and that means that Motta will have some decent changes one way or another.

Of course we have not that many changes right now, it is not going to be easy but it can still be done. The thing about the current situation is that he just needs a little bit of time to get better and he needs the team to adjust to his situation as well, those are the important parts. What I believe right now is that we are going to get some greater results eventually but it will not look pretty for a while. This is why I think we should consider giving him time, fans should give him some time, don't get mad after just a few weeks of bad results because that may happen.

Even players like Osimhen still have difficulty finding a new club at the moment, but the problem is that Osimhen's transfer price is quite high. Arsenal is currently perhaps the closest to getting Osimhen because Napoli are also ready to renegotiate Osimhen's transfer price which could be slightly lowered. So now we just have to wait for what official offer Arsenal will make for this player.

There is no doubt that Osimhen is a very talented player. In the 2022-23 season we saw Osimhen's excellent performances. Osimhen could not appear in all the matches due to injuries in the last season. Even so, Osimhen's performance in the last season was good enough. Even then, Osimhen is having trouble getting a new team. The main reason for this is that the Napoli management is demanding a high price for Osimhen.

From what I have seen in the news Napoli management wants 100 million for Osimhen. This is a huge amount. Major clubs such as PSG, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea were interested in adding Osimhen to the squad. But no club will spend 130 million to add Osimhen to the squad. Napoli must reduce Osimhen's price even more.

Osimhen is still young and still has a contract at Napoli at least until 2026, so even if these teams are not willing to recruit Osimhen at a high price also the reality is that Osimhen will still be fine at Napoli. Moreover, Napoli's new manager Conte is a great manager, and if Osimhen stays at Napoli, it is very likely that Osimhen's quality and performance will improve and be even better under Conte's coaching later. But yes, if for example these elite teams are still very interested in recruiting Osimhen but are not willing to pay dearly, then the solution may be to trade by giving their key players to get Osimhen from Napoli.

At his age, it will be quite difficult to find another club that would want to sign Rui Patrício. because after all, he is almost approaching retirement age. And I'm also trying to find out if there is a team that Rui Patrício will target in the coming season. And I also haven't found any information about Rui Patrício. And apart from Rui Patrício, Roma also decided not to renew the contract with Spinazzola. So currently Spinazzola and Rui Patricio have free transfer status.

Next season Roma will clearly have several different players. And I actually hope Roma buy Lukaku from Chelsea. but it looks like Roma is not in a condition that can bring Lukaku back to Rome. And currently Lukaku is being fought over by AC Milan and Napoli. And yes, this will make Lukaku return to Serie A. And that is quite unique because every season Lukaku returns to Serie A and plays for a different club. But he was always able to adapt quickly and become an important player.

Goalkeepers are known to have a long-term playing spam on football. Some of them are even more active from thirty to forty years. I guess Daniele De Rossi is not just comfortable with Rui Patrício and just wants him to leave. A forty-year-old coach will like to work with younger players like 24-year-old Mile Svilar who will be easier to manage. Rui has had a memorable time these three years playing about 139 games, winning the Conference League, and earning a Europa final appearance.  His option might be to move to an average European club, the US Major League, or the Saudi Professional League.

Romelu Lukaku who had a bad experience in the EURO has been linked to Napoli to join his former coach, Antonio Conte. He also has an option to remain in Roma or return to Chelsea. For now, there has been no concrete information concerning his next move from any of these clubs. We would have to wait to see what happens in a few weeks.
