Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[maculeth]

Reportedly, the Napoli-Madrid negotiations about James were hampered by prices. President Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, gave a statement that James actually wanted to join. But the transfer negotiations met with obstacles because Madrid's request was too high.

you're right AC Milan needs new owners who have financial health to be able to restore the glory of AC Milan in Europe they need to buy some quality players in order to become a strong team.

Haven't AC Mlian been spending quite well enough for a team that's not even playing Champions League football, spending nearly £200 million on transfer during the 17/18 and also in 18/19 season seems relatively high IMO, but yet the results are still disappointing. All they need is probably a more efficient coach with an entirely different philosophy.

They aren't even competing in next season's Europa League because FIFA banned them. I do see this as a preparation season that is why they are spending their money now on new players for them to develop this time. Aside from bringing in some quality players they also have brought in a new manager which I think is part of their preparation stage. Elliot Financial is really doing well on bringing back up the team to its former glory. Looking to see a few more signings more.

Ac Milan did spend money during those two transfer windows, but the players they got were not good enough, and most importantly they didn’t seem to be in sync with how Ac Milan plays. This year they really need to buy best players and compete for the title since they’re out of Europa Cup. Their main objective for this year should be to finish in top 4 and play in Champions League again, and I’m confident they’ll be able to achieve it.

Almost done for Barella to FC Inter for 45m€. What a waste of money.

That is a huge amount of money to be spend in a not so good player.
I wonder why Inter doesn't make signing moves for bigger players that play in the Premier League or La Liga. If they want to compete Juventus they need to improve their signing strategy. It is a shame to spend 45m for Barella.

Even if they had to buy players from Premier or La Liga, they will still have to spend lots of money on average players.
For me i look at 45M as the new normal transfer fee for an average player.

Getting a very good player below 45M is just a very good bargain lately.

[tokeweed]

^  Blame the inflated market.  But still for 45m Euros, they could def do better.  IMHO.  They should learn a thing or two from BVB.  That club usually makes good signings for cheap.

That's why you'll only see a lot of players coming from South America. For Serie A who aren't that financially rich or just wants to get smart in the market they just scout and buy players from Brazil, Argentina, and even Columbia as they are considerably cheaper. Aside from that their only real options right now are just to develop their youngsters or wait for top teams to have unwanted players from their side and sell it at a bargain. Can't really blame Serie A teams for having owners not throwing money for their teams.

Amazing Inter Milan, Dare to spend that much money only for players who in my opinion are ordinary. Indeed, this is really a waste of money for Inter Milan. But it can't be helped, they have officially bought Nicolò Barella. Hopefully Inter Milan can compete with other clubs for next season.

reportedly Neymar had been eager to leave Paris Saint-German. The Brazilian star is reportedly not closing the possibility of joining Juventus.
however, Juventus is not the only option for Neymar. He is also reportedly interested in joining Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
The only barrier to the possibility of Juve bringing Neymar is the Financial Fair Play. Juventus are expected to be difficult to meet the price set by PSG, the lowest is 222 million euros. That price was issued by PSG when he brought Neymar from Barca

Neymar will not join Juventus because of Ronaldo who’ll not let another star steal his limelight, so I don’t think this transfer will take place. Manchester United and Barcelona are the ideal clubs for him, and I’m personally wishing he chooses Manchester United. Also Juventus have purchased De Light and now are saving their money for Pogba, hence this is just a passing rumour which we need to ignore.

Are you sure?

They seem to befriend outside the pitch





Neymar was in Italy at Turin several times on the last year for some ads with Cristiano

[lotfiuser]

if neymar or pogba or icardi join Juventus it will be Juventus year for sure even without em my prediction for serie a winner this year is Juventus

And there is a question on where he would fit. Neymar's position is already filled in with a lot of star players and good rotation. Not unless they want to offload/swap Paulo Dybala with that deal I don't see how Neymar will go to the team that considering what PSG will ask for him. In my opinion Juventus won't bite and not try to lure in an expensive player for nothing, they already have de Light, Ramsey, and Rabiot (for free) and I think that's already a good transfer window for them. They'll have a much better chance of winning the Champions League now.

Besides the fact that he is maybe interested to join @Juventus, I can't see how they can pay him if they will not sell at least Dybala Higuain and another big one.

He costs 38m € to PSG, in my opinion is easier and cheaper to try to take back Pogba.

It is very unfortunate that Neymar's fate when he wanted to go was very difficult because the price was expensive. I don't think Juventus want to buy a player like Neymar plus the price is very fantastic. Of course Juventus don't want to spend a lot of money for just one player. Because they already have good players on the transfer this season.

You can never know... Juventus can decide to swap with some good player like Dybala(since he hasn't been so good upon the arrival of CR7) plus some cash. My guess is Juventus are eyeing the Champion's League. Their team was already too good for Serie A even before the beginning of the transfer window so until this point, anything can happen.

The Problem with Neymar is he is quite immature with his actions and antics. Not the kind of player i hoped would take over the thrown from Messi and Ronaldo

This is one of his biggest undoing and a big cos of he's stunted development and rise to the apex level of the game.
He hasn't stepped into the shoes of Ronaldo and Messi at all, as it stands mbappe seems to be the one with that fate.

I'll like to see if juve are willing to pay such a huge amount for Neymar, I wouldn't want them to personally, though he'll without a doubt be a huge plus, but his behavior would always be an issue.

Neymar's career is taking a big deep dive, for years he was always regarded as the 3rd best player in the world behind Messi and Ronaldo, but now he's being seen probably as an overrated player, He really needs a new start, or he could become another Mario Balotelli.

He's been struggling a lot with injuries these days, and If the news are by any chance to be true, considering his style of player, does anyone think he'd adapt to the physicality of the Serie A ?

The problem is not the league, with his quality on his best shape he can do whatever he wants vs an average player in any league.

The problem for Neymar to Seria A is his Salary, no one will pay so much for him. (well if he wants "only 10M € Juventus maybe will be interested but not for 30m €/y)

As said

Neymar is around 130/170 M € 30 M / year

Pogba is around 120/150 M € 15 M /year

The second is easier.

Ofcourse for any one of these 2 they need to sell at least 2 players

Dybala 70M Cancelo 50 and another one for Neymar

Pjanic 70M  & Cancelo 50 or 2 players for Pogba

True mate, Neymar's ratings seem to be taking a deep dive and if not checked, by the time he is 30, he will almost be forgotten. He really had a chance to step up to a bigger milestone especially while still at Barcelona but he instead acted like a coward and opted out. He should have done whatever it takes to become a top player at Barcelona.

Running to PSG was a total step down. Look at the recent COPA America, Brazil doesn't even miss him at all.
