Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

I personally don’t think Juventus have benefited too much with DI Maria and Pogba in the team. Pogba and Di Maria are very talented, no doubt about it. However, Pogba has not performed well in the last few seasons. On the other hand, DI Maria was not the main striker of PSG. And so I'm not sure how these two players will perform with the Juventus team on a regular basis.

exactly... I agree with you

pogba and di maria have not produced great results for their previous team (even disappointingly) in the last year. During 7 years at PSG, Di Maria could not succeed in helping PSG get the UCL trophy as well as Pogba at MU

The 2022/2023 season is about to start, all clubs have high hopes for their players as well as Juve who hope for Pogba and Di Maria to give good results

Pogba and Di Maria good performances are no guarantee that Juventus will fight for the Serie A title. The presence of Pogba and Di Maria will give a new color to the Juventus squad, the experience that these two players have can encourage the team's mentality to perform better. Juventus are rebuilding their squad due to their failure last season, I think the main focus for Juventus is on the defensive position, they have to build a strong defensive foundation. If all lines are solid, Juventus will be able to compete again for the Serie A title.

I really don't know if Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria are going to be able to work together very well. Because both of them are used to playing in different types of conditions and both of them have very different play styles. So, I am not so sure about the team composition but it is obviously an upgrade from the last season. And obviously, Juventus has a few problems in the defensive line if de Ligt does leave.

Juventus this season made many changes and it was all inseparable from their poor performance last season that made them fail to compete tightly for the Scudetto.
with the presence of several new players, Juventus does not guarantee that they will get the Scudetto, but at least the solid team they have makes it very likely for them to compete tightly to win the Scudetto.
other Serie A teams are also starting to improve for the better with many changes in their squad, so we will see next season a fierce competition to win the title.

It is most likely to come down to how Juventus begins and finishes the upcoming season. Last season, Juventus had a really terrible start and it looked like they wouldn't even be able to finish in the top four. But towards the end of the season, they really came to life and performed well. If they are able to start better in the next season I think they will be able to have a better result. This is because this time they have a decent team.

Juventus are in a huge profit in this transfer window already now. Because they have signed great players like Pogba and Di Maria officially on a free deal. They have signed Federico Chiesa permanently for 40 million euros too. I don't expect them to stop there of course as for example their defense line is under threat because de Ligt could be sold soon. However especially the Pogba transfer will contribute vastly to the midfield of the team. I will be expecting a striker move also from them.

After having two good players freely now they are still working in transfer window with most chances now they are looking for some good striker and few good defenders because we all know they are having some trouble in both areas and their management is already in talk with as I am reading on few sites they are interested in Neymar or Ronaldo, but both are not easy transfers for them because both are having very high salary and their transfer is also needed big amount which is not easy for them but still they are in for their best choices, and we can expect some good news from them in coming few days because now recently inter and Roma both are looking good and investing good amount which is creating good challenge in this league.

Being on status a free deal actually very advantageous in my personal opinion, even though Pogba in the last few seasons playing at Manchester United was not as good as in his time, but its very likely that at Juventus there can be hope, to play perfectly he will keep his body fit. But for De Maria I doubt he will good performance at next, maybe more on the bench considering his age that is not young anymore to keep fit, I hope wrong because at there may could be a surprise in Juventus squad.

Matthijs de Ligt's situation is still ambiguous right now. Juventus are trying to be hopeful about keeping de Ligt in the team but there are still likely offers from Bayern Munich and Chelsea in the coming days. Actually Chelsea are interested in Ake at the same time as I said before in another thread. However if they fail then they would increase their attempts for de Ligt. Bayern Munich might be able to steal him from Chelsea too. Because I believe they also need a solid defender now beside Upamecano.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1545750810017021952?s=20&t=PNWIM1LAxmUOmOyeHUeJvA

I don't know if this is true or not but there are reports that indeed De Ligt has reached a personal agreement with Bayern but the price set for a release is still quite large but Bayern will only bring him with 60 million.
Now the Exchange still has enough time to give certainty about this, but it is quite natural for Juventus to want to keep De Ligt because he is still very much needed.

De Ligt is both young and a good defender.  Juventus signed him for a record price. I don't think they will let him transfer for a low price.  Still, of course, nothing is certain. In this summer period, we saw that players who transferred with record prices in the past can go to other teams free of charge. An example of this is Paul Pogba. Maybe Juve can approve this transfer so that such an economic problem does not occur.

Indeed in this case what you say is true because Juventus bought him at a high price at that time so it is quite natural that they hold on and do their best with the prices proposed by other clubs.
But to go for free it's clear it's still a long way to go considering their contract expires in 2024 and there's even been some news suggesting that Juventus want to extend it until 2026 although that was rejected by De Ligt.
At the moment it seems that Bayern are one of the clubs that are getting serious about De Ligt.

[Slow death]

It has been made official and announced that Paul Pogba has joined Juventus. He has signed a 4 year contract with Juventus and will stay with the club until 2026.

Official Juve announcement

I guess, this is a welcome development to Juventus because Paul Pogba is a good midfielder that know how  to feed the strikers very well until they achieve goals from the tournament. Juventus coach like Paul Pogba tactics which Pogba will definitely increase Juventus performance in next season because he will like to perform well in a way other teams will wish to have him in their team with big money that is more than what he is receiving from Juventus. I think, it will be difficult for Manchester united to get a talented midfielder like Paul Pogba in this season because people like Paul Pogba are not common in the world.

this season juventus is very strong compared to last season, they will be able to bring pogba and they managed to bring in Di maria, with that juventus will improve their attack a lot and with the good coach they have, as a juventus fan I can already see that we will win Serie A this season that is about to begin.

Di maria has contributed a lot to PSG and the Argentinian team, I think he should play all 90 minutes constantly and his contribution will be important for us to win many games and be champions

[emrecemsan]

It is good to see that Juventus have finally completed the Pogba deal. It is a four-year agreement which makes me think about whether Pogba will finish his career there also. Juventus are back at his old team after many years. I think Juventus are happy about this deal too because he wasn't intending to stay for more time at Manchester United. He actually waited for a contract extension offer but this didn't happen. Juventus needed this transfer for the midfield so they should be more confident now.

Paul Pogba is 29 years old right now and he is soon likely to be 30 if I am not wrong. So I don't think he is able to be in his peak form for the whole 4 years. But at least the first three years are looking to be really positive in my opinion, or at least that's what I expect. He is a capable player and he is capable of contributing a lot to Juventus. If I remember correctly he is a player who can pass the ball really well and he has really good control over the ball. that is going to be very useful.

Juventus made the most profitable transfer of the year by transferring Paul Pogba. They added a world star, who is only 29 years old, to the team for free. If they get Cristiano Ronaldo back, they can turn into a completely different team. Juventus will play in the champions league. This is a decisive factor for Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, It wouldn't be much of a surprise to me to see him return to his old team.

why are you so sure Ronaldo will return to Juventus in this transfer window, Erik has confirmed that Ronaldo will stay at Manchester United next season. Ronaldo may have an interest in competing in the Champions League next season but Erik arrival could convince Ronaldo to stay with Manchester United. pogba and juventus did have a pretty good contact even pogba found his golden age with juventus so it's only natural that he chose to accept an offer from juventus. he has been introduced to the public and I see him enthusiastically welcomed by Juventus fans.

It's very ironic that Paul Pogba is returning to Juventus for free. Six years ago they made 100 million Euro from him, now they got him back for free. As Pogba is still in his prime, I consider this a very very good signing. He will receive an annual salary of 8 million Euro. It's pretty normal for a player of this level. Pogba, who couldn't find what he wanted in Manchester United, can win championships in Italy again.

Pogba returned to Turin and will be part of them again. This time, he joins them as a star player, not a young player like his first time there. After signing a contract with Juventus and meet their fans, Pogba rejected to sign on a skirt of Manchester United. Awkward player in my opinion. At least Manchester United is the club that grows him up.

It is actually very ironic. But I have to say he was a lot overhyped, and that led Manchester United to buy him for such a big amount of money. But he did not perform well at all in Manchester United. If I remember correctly, he did have some good times but that did not last long. I am just happy that he is back at Juventus and I hope to see a really effective performance from him at Juventus. And this is more likely to happen because he does not have too much pressure on him that he had while playing for Manchester United because of the money.

AC Milan will release Castillejo to Valencia on a permanent transfer status. This will be Gattuso's reunion with Castillejo. According to some news that I read, this move was also a direct request from Gattuso to AC Milan. Perhaps this is what makes it easier for Gattuso to sign him. There is no information yet on how much the transfer amount will be, but everything is almost done, the agreement between Milan and Valencia has been completed, just waiting for the official announcement.

https://footballtoday.com/2022/07/11/ac-milan-set-to-sell-out-of-favour-samu-castillejo-to-valencia/

This does seem to be a direct request from Gattuso to AC Milan. And that obviously does make this signing a lot easier than it would have been. I am really interested to see the official announcement because I want to know the exact amount of money.

pogba says "Juve is my home and I feel much happier here". We'll see what Pogba can give Juve after he didn't make a big contribution to Manchester United

many who support the return of pogba to juve but many also doubt the performance of pogba at juve. I myself really doubt the appearance of pogba at juve

I have seen a lot of old players play for Juventus before. Whenever we talk about Juventus a lot of legendary names come to mind. I think Paul Pogba will be able to perform well in Juventus and eventually he will retire as one of the legends playing for Juventus. It obviously does not feel like a big upgrade from Manchester United to Juventus but the play style of Juventus is going to suit Paul Pogba. So he should be able to perform a lot better compared to his days in Manchester United.

[Velvet78]

It is good to see Pogba back at Juventus. He is really at ''home'' as they are his old team. However we mustn't forget another fact that he has grown from Manchester United team too. Juventus are having him on a free transfer for the second time. Manchester United paid 105 million euros to have him back before. It must be feeling great for Juventus to benefit from this opportunity. Pogba will add a big strength to the team from now on together with Di Maria.

Paul Pogba had previously successfully played for Juventus in 2012-2016, even during his time at Juventus when Pogba won 6 trophies. Where Pogba
helped Juventus win 3 Serie A trophies, 2 Coppa Italia trophies and 1 Supercoppa Italiana trophy. Very different from when he played for Man United,
Pogba failed to shine with Man United. So Pogba's decision was correct by refusing a contract extension with Man United and preferring to join Juventus.
Because I am optimistic that with Juventus, Pogba will find his best form and can help Juventus dominate Serie A again. Pogba is also on a long-term
contract by Juventus until June 2026, meaning Pogba will play for Juventus until he is 33 years old. So there is a possibility that Pogba will end his career
with Juventus.

With the return of pogba this could be the best way to advance his career at juventus because so far as i know pogba and the players at juventus can work well with pogba, his skills have been honed higher and of course all the information he got while in Manchester United can be applied to Juventus to set a strategy so that with his arrival he can bring Juventus back to have good defensive potential, it must be known that there is another professional player entering Juventus and the name is Angel Di María, I believe a combination of the two can make Juventus strong again.

He is 29 years old now and have not much individual achievement.

Moving to manchester united few years ago is a huge mistake ... i believe it's in his mind all the time now . But it's not too late , there is a couple years ahead that he could write a history and some individual achievements with juventus , he has that capability especially a long with a caliber player like di maria yeah everyone would have the same opinion and expectation fron these two great maestro .

He also looks happy now, maybe he will be got frequently playing in Juventus if he often the injury goes away. We all know why he playing badly in MU because of injury and cause he rarely plays then decreases his performance. but for sure, Juventus got huge benefits for both, Free transfer and completed filling up the weak position on the last session, I things Juventus has been perfect for now, the big threat for the scudetto.

Pogba, who couldn't find what he wanted in Manchester United, can win championships in Italy again. Angel di Maria also came, Juventus is much stronger now. They can go back to their good old days.

That makes sense in a way though. I mean we are talking about a person who played so well 6 years ago, and that is why they made that much money from him, he played very well for a while and then started to both not play that well anymore and also create some locker room trouble. This caused the teams to make a lot less profit, and that is why they are not interested in it anymore.

I personally understand the logic, because if you have a player that creates trouble in your team, you would send him for free as well, did it plenty of times in football manager myself as well Doesn't matter how much money you could have made, if he is a trouble, you want him gone as soon as possible.

It showed,  that there will be positive changes in Juventus game in next season competition because Paul Pogba know how to play very well in Juventus than any other teams. It was a great celebration in the camp of Juventus fans, because Paul Pogba is back to the team to help Juventus to achieve victory from all the matches in next season competitions. But I don't think, Juventus president will be able to pay Paul Pogba the same amount Manchester united president was paying him when he was in Manchester united because Juventus coach will like to watch his performance again before they can increase his salary to the same amount he was receiving in Manchester united or more than the amount.
