Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[judas]

I have seen some rumours about Lautaro Martinez recently. He is claimed to be linked with Tottenham these days. Tottenham are preparing an offer worth 90 million euros for him however he doesn't seem to be eager to leave Inter to join them now. As there is a possibility for him to reunite with Lukaku soon too I wouldn't expect him to leave to join any team now. On the other hand I don't understand why Tottenham want a striker now. They already have Son and Kane in the end.

The spirit of ibrahimovic which is very much needed by AC Milan to evoke a sense of struggle by every young player in the AC Milan squad. I remember very well When ibrahimovic spoke in the dressing room after they won the Scudetto he spoke in a big and passionate voice so that the other players listened to every word of encouragement that came out of ibrahimovic mouth. indeed in terms of age ibrahimovic deserves to announce his retirement from the gridiron after delivering ac milan win the Scudetto but instead he wants to continue playing and wants to contribute to ac milan in the coming season.

I get that veteran leadership is a very important thing for Milan, or any other team really. However, they are paying like 7 million a year for Zlatan, and that seems like a lot of money for a veteran player who will not play until spring and will probably not be good at all and won't provide anything on the pitch for that time period. By comparison Hernandez gets like 4 million or something, Maignan gets like 3 million.

So, it's really not making any sense to have your most expensive player to be a player that will not even play that much but only kept because he would be a great locker room addition. That's more like your most expensive 10th player or something.

I don't see any fresh news regarding Romelu Lukaku's transfer to Inter recently. The last news I saw was that Inter were getting closer to finishing the agreement with him and Chelsea. It was going to be a loan deal as well. I don't have any doubt that Lukaku would still want to leave the team by not caring about if it's a loan or permanent deal. Because he didn't have a good season with Chelsea and it can be better for him to return to the team he was playing great for.

The problems that have occurred this season between Lukaku and the bosses and coaches have clearly made him more distant and uncomfortable at Chelsea and this is bad for Chelsea in my opinion.
But it's also quite difficult to keep Lukaku on hold, especially if there is no desire to play, no matter how hard you force it, it will still be difficult and the opportunity for Inter will get bigger.

The problems that occurred between Lukaku and Tuchel started with Tuchel lack of confidence in Lukaku to become Chelsea main striker this season, plus when Lukaku stated that he wanted to return to Inter Milan in an interview, after the problems between Lukaku and Tuchel made his desire back to Inter Milan even bigger now,  but I think it will be difficult for Inter Milan fans to accept Lukaku after he betrayed Inter and accepted Chelsea offer in the 2021 season, now Inter have got Dybala and also have Edin Dzeko and Martinez so it seems they don't really need Lukaku at all.

This problem is like a ticking time bomb and is getting bigger and bigger and just waiting to explode between Lukaku and Tuchel even though they look normal from the outside but still it looks like there is something big inside.
Edin Dzeko and Dybala plus Lautaro will be very crazy next season but Inter still want more because indeed they have submitted Lukaku's loan proposal to Chelsea even though it was rejected.

AC Milan should now have new players in the squad. Especially now they need an experienced striker. Zlatan Ibrahimović is now about 41 years old. Milan should now take on a young striker. It is foolish to expect regularly good performances from Zlatan Ibrahimović at this age. He has been sidelined for several matches this season due to injury. And so if Milan wants to play well next season and win the title, they have to spend a lot of money now and bring in talented players.

It is true that Ibrahimovic will not be a regular again next season but Milan can still use his experience and ability to motivate other players in the dressing room and during matches. I think he's a legend and it looks like he really deserves to be an assistant coach for the team he loves.

Several players his age are now serving as coaches in top leagues such as Gerrard, Lampard, Xavi and also several others and maybe I also hope that one day Ibrahimovic can also have a career like them regardless of his coaching skills. Now that Ibrahimovic is in his old age as a player, he will have to determine when he will retire and try to stay active in football in other ways.

Actually, I think ibrahimović can be a better businessman instead of a coach. Because to be a coach a person needs to be very calm headed which is absolutely the opposite of ibrahimović. I don't think he is going to be a bad coach but I also don't think that he will be able to be someone who will achieve great things as a coach. We all know that he is a very cocky person and that personality does not suit a coach. But, I think he has a very sharp mind and it will be better if he utilizes that in business.

I wonder if Juventus will make some other transfers except Pogba too. So far I have seen that they have signed Federico Chiesa permanently. The players who are leaving soon are Dybala, Chiellini, Bernardeschi and Douglas Costa now. If we take this into account, I think they will need a defender transfer also and they might need a striker too. Because they won't pay any transfer fee to bring Pogba here they can allocate a lot of money to some other important positions to consolidate.

with the departure of dybala, chiellini juventus will miss these two players, even if they have pogba, they still need to improve in defense and attack and in this matter of juventus' attack they are needing to have good goal scorers, if they don't get good ones goal scorers so they're risking finishing in 4th or lower next season and won't make it far in the champions league. one of juventus' biggest problems this season was their attack which was very weak

[herurist]

That's right, this will be more difficult because he seems to still feel at home in Madrid, especially he is also Anceloti's option sometimes if Benzema or Vini has difficulty scoring goals.
His instincts are incredible both from attack by crossing the side of the field or with his long-range kicks and I don't think Madrid will let this player go.
The problem is that his current contract expires in 2023 and there has been no talk of a contract extension or release about this and maybe Milan want to take advantage of this momentum.

Based on available data, Asensio's contract at Real Madrid will expire at the end of next season, so I think there is still plenty of time for Real Madrid to extend his contract. But I think if Milan really want to get Asensio's signature, then they will have to spend a lot of money to convince Madrid to let him go.

We know he is a very good player at Real Madrid so far, he probably deserves to be contested by many teams at the moment because of his quality. But I would probably agree that Asensio chose the Premier League over Serie A if he wanted to move.

Yep, his contract is about to expire next season and there have been indications for a contract extension now but the problem is he is now willing to sign a contract extension but on the condition that his salary is increased.
This will be an interesting new chapter to see because when it is not agreed well then Milan's chances of getting Asensio will be a little bigger.

Current rumours about Gabriel Jesus transfer are like in the picture above.

Fixed your link

Also, Juventus is interested in him if they will not bring Morata back to Italy.

His loan is over right now and they need a new deal to have him back

Just noticed that it was broken.    I don't know why it did this but there shouldn't be any problem from now on as I also uploaded it into another website.

I'm just hearing about Juventus now. Thanks for the info man. It looks like many big teams want to sign Gabriel Jesus now. Juventus will also need a striker because they are losing Dybala and Morata in a short time. They will need to sign at least one striker to create an alternative also. Gabriel Jesus could make a good duo with Vlahovic also we never know.

[blackened515]

It seems Inter Milan are not ready to lose one of their best centre back, Skriniar this summer. Paris Saint German have made an official bid for the him but Inter turned down their offer and it looks like Inter wants an increase for Skriniar. The team bashed €80m on the Slovak player, but Skriniar is worth the price. However, he performance in thepast seasons was impressive and I hope If PSG really need him. They should meet up the price tag of Skriniar and get him signed immediately.

Although Marco Asensio rarely gets the chance to play, but it is reported that Asensio still wants to stay at Real Madrid and is trying to ask Real Madrid
for a new contract. But I don't believe Real Madrid's management will extend Asensio's contract, especially since Asensio asks for a large contract value.
According to reports Real Madrid chose to sell Asensio this year, because according to rumors Ancelotti did not include Asensio in his plans for next season.
Therefore Jorge Mendes as an agent of Asensio has started communicating with AC Milan and also Man United, but according to my prediction
if Asensio decides to move, then Asensio will choose Man United over AC Milan. Besides the EPL is indeed more prestigious than Serie A for now,
according to rumors Man United dared to offer a high salary for Asensio too. The problem is Real Madrid want a fee of 40 million euros if a team is
interested in buying Asensio, that's a pretty high value in my opinion for a player whose contract expires next year.

On the other hand, Morata may also be following Dybala now and this is quite difficult if he only hopes for Dusan up front.
On the other hand, until now there has been no replacement at the back which makes me think with you, because if this continues, it will indeed carry a big risk in the next season for them.

It is good to have a loyal player like Asensio, but both Real Madrid and Asensio must have an agreement about the salary. I think Asensio's performance was quite good in the last season. For a player who got a rare opportunity, he still could contribute well to Real Madrid. In addition, Asensio doesn't complain about his opportunity to play. I am a bit surprised to know Ancelotti doesn't include him in Real Madrid squad next season. As far as I know, Asensio doesn't have any problem. If he isn't very productive to score, that is because his chance to play rarely.

There are some rumours arose again about a possible move for Cristiano Ronaldo to another team this summer. According to these rumours, Roma and Sporting Lisbon are already monitoring his situation and waiting for the right time to make an offer. This wasn't the kind of news I was expecting about Ronaldo actually. I thought that he would give a second chance to Manchester United after bringing Erik ten Hag. This is just a rumour of course and maybe there is no such thing now. I hope this rumour doesn't turn out to be true.

This is just a rumour of course and maybe there is no such thing now. I hope this rumour doesn't turn out to be true.

The rumours still happen before the closed windows transfer. I don't hope too much for this guy, because his age is not young anymore, Ronaldo can go anywhere and any place that he wants. If he went back home and remember his memory, Lisbon is the right place, and maybe the last stop for his career. If he back to Italy, I'm pretty sure, it will be complete, because, in his hand (Mourinho), Ronaldo looks stunning and very dangerous in front. As we look at sessions 2011-2013, Ronaldo created 168 Goals in Madrid.

But at that time he was still under 30 years old, in terms of stamina, it was a moment where cr7's stamina was still very fit, it would not be the same as 37 years now. 2011 and above was CR7's peak performance so I'm not surprised to see his achievements with mourinho. I feel he is not suitable for Serie A, previously he play for Juventus in Serie A but the results are still not as expected, yes maybe age is a factor cr7

Football nowadays is different than ten or twenty years ago. Even strikers and attacking players have to proactively contribute to defense. It is what Ronaldo does not have.

I don't say Ronaldo is worse than any strikers at his age. He even scores more goals than many young attacking players. The minus point for any club has Ronaldo in their squad is they will have to cover his lack of defense contribution. If they can build up a system for it, they can use Ronaldo. If they can not, they will have troubles and lose in big clashes.

In reality, to have good result after final whistle, a club need both, good defense and good attacking, a sort of balance between defense and attacking. It is not what Manchester United have now.

[Pandu Geddon]

Football nowadays is different than ten or twenty years ago. Even strikers and attacking players have to proactively contribute to defense. It is what Ronaldo does not have.

Clubs like Juventus and Madrid have already proven it. because Ronaldo has strong support from midfield and defenders in a strong team, Ronaldo can impress with his incredible goal contribution.
Madrid and Juventus have tough defenses. unfortunately United doesn't have it. However, the performance of a player who is no longer young is different from the quality of his game when he is still full of energy.

The age factor will indeed affect his performance, but with the right strategy a Ronaldo will be a lethal player. Manchester United didn't have that and didn't try to take advantage of Ronaldo, however he is always the one who breaks the deadlock for the current Manchester United squad. So basically Ronaldo will be deadly if it is on the right strategy and teamwork.

As there is a possibility for him to reunite with Lukaku soon too I wouldn't expect him to leave to join any team now. On the other hand I don't understand why Tottenham want a striker now. They already have Son and Kane in the end.

Antonio Conte really wants Lautaro Martinez to join Tottenham Hotspur. Even according to news, Tottenham management is ready to redeem the player at a fantastic price. But in my opinion, at this time Tottenham is not right to sign a sticker especially with a fairly large transfer fee. At the moment Tottenham still have great strikers like Son and Kane, and Conte can of course still count on them.  

If he has sufficient funds, Conte should focus on finding world-class midfielders and defenders to cover their weaknesses in these two sectors. And although Tottenham have made a fantastic offer, Inter Milan will not let go of their flagship sticker, and Martinez also has no desire to leave the Nerazzurri.

[lulumiya]

I understand why Antonio Conte wants Lautaro Martinez so much now of course. In the end he is Conte's old student while he was managing Inter. His performance then was really awesome at the same time. I'm not sure either about whether Tottenham really need to transfer a striker now but I'm still okay about a transfer like this. He is a 24-year-old goal machine and many big teams would like to see him playing for themselves for certain as well.

They should meet up the price tag of Skriniar and get him signed immediately.

Actually Skriniar are on the list of players to be sold by Inter and why they included him to the lists because Inter need fresh funds which will be used for next season because Skriniar had impressive performance then Inter hopes he will be sold at high price and indeed PSG in the front line who interested to bought him but first bid from PSG worth to 50 millions euro has been rejected by Inter but PSG hasn't give up to get this player even in the near future they will offers new bid plus several players from them as part of the deal
