Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Sebas.tian]

Napoli is not a favorite at all for the next season. They had a good performance this season and they won the title but since their coach and some players are losing this team I think they don't have too much chance for the next season.

It all depends on how the new Napoli coach will build the team's game, but in any case it will take some time and loss of points and this may be the reason when these points may not be enough in the fight for the Scudetto or even in the fight for a place in the Champions League. And yes, the loss of the head coach and rumors about the departure of players also do not make Napoli a favorite next season. So far, all the significant news and rumors about the team's people are on the way out, but there is no news about significant people in the team to enter.

I believe, Napoli management will sign in talented players to replace those players who are about to leave the team in this season so that the new coach can prove to fans that he is capable to move the team forward in away they will achieve so many titles next season. Based on the appearance of the new coach, show that he will not make mistakes to bring wrong players into the team if the opportunity is given, because he will like to take a step that will give Napoli president joy to believe that he has something good to give.  Napoli will definitely maintain that champions in the Italian league and other tournament next season because they will do everything possible within their power to maintain the good name of the team.

Update from serie a

Ac milan seems try to sell theo hernandez. I remember that if atletico's coach was theo's fan. I think that atletico madrid will consider buying him but we must note it if ac milan will be asking very high amounts of money which probable around €80 - €100 millions.

I don't even think atletico madrid can afford to buy him from ac milan.
Lukaku has been directly making a negotiation with chelsea at this moment. He wants to stay in intermilan even longer. It seems like the club was not interesting to sell him to the milan but lukaku still insists on surviving in intermilan.

I do know how intermilan really wants him to be a permanent transfer but chelsea will not let him go with small fees. I guess the old history will repeat.

There were talkings for 2year loan even last year, I think he will stay at Inter for one more year on loan and the real problem I think is the buyout clausule next season when they need to buy him. I think the story about Milan is just media story, Italian media like to make things up.

I think it is better for AC Milan to keep Theo Hernandez because he is very much needed in AC Milan's defense. Why does it have to be T.hernandez, who is clearly needed, not the others. I think AC Milan's defense could get worse if this player is also released. AC Milan might also release Sandro Tonali. But it seems that AC Milan has not taken much action in bringing in players in the transfer market.

[nara1892]

That's right, I didn't even suspect that Napoli's star players like Osimhen and Kvaratkelia would still want to stay and at the moment the rumors that have been circulating are not making steps for key players to leave. Indeed Napoli must prove their consistency next season with their new coach and at least they must try one more time to prove that Napoli is still the best team for next season. Kim Min Jae is indeed the closest to leaving, but even if he leaves Napoli, surely the management will have prepared a replacement for him later.

regarding Kvaratskhelia extending the contract with Napoli this is true but for Osimhen isn't this still a rumor? because there is still a lot of news that Napoli will release Osimhen this season for a very extraordinary price and several other teams are chasing Osimhen to buy because he has a very good performance.
but if indeed Osimhen decides to extend his contract with Napoli this will be good news because at least one more season Napoli can still dominate Serie A.

Yes, Victor Osimhen's departure or stay is still a question mark to this day, because some say he will stay and some others he will leave, so this is still a rumor until there is confirmation from Napoli or Victor Osimhen himself.
Maybe we have to be a little patient in waiting for definite news about this young player, whether he will stay with Napoli or will find a new team next season.
Napoli also seem to be still unsure whether they want to let go of this player or keep him, because the price they are offering indicates they still want Osimhen in the squad.

Even if Napoli manages to keep their players in the team, there may be losses in their performance as the minds of the players may be on other opportunities. This will affect Napoli badly. Napoli is a great team and I'm sure they will work hard to win Scudetto once again with their supporters.

I absolutely agree with you
he is no longer the favorite as he has changed coaches (with no real reason for anything else) and is selling all the valuable pieces
so I don't see how he can best face next year/season

I don't understand these choices

[Velvet78]

Milan will need to make some improvement in the squad for next season. Giroud has got quite old and I don't expect him to make the needed level of contribution consistently from now on as well. Origi has been brought here but he isn't even close to Giroud's level now. If he doesn't improve his game too then this can be a serious problem for Milan in time.

Therefore I would like to see Milan signing a striker this summer. If they want to play more competitive and consistent for the Serie A title then they need to make some important changes. Origi would stay I assume and Giroud has one year left on his contract. If they find a reliable striker now this can improve their productivity a lot.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, as for me, the defending champion is still my favourite to win next season. This is as long as they still keep Victor Osimhem, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and some key players which I am sure are still there now. I don't even know what you meant by selling the valuable pieces because the proposal is still not a done deal. By the way, how many players have they sold? It's normal that there will be in and out this time, the coach is not a dummy as well.

They've recently increased Victor Osimhen's purchasing price to €180M which is to discourage top bidders.

Milan needs good transfers if they have a championship goal again. I think they will send Origi contrary to what you said. When Origi's market value is at a good level, they will send it and replace it with a better player. Maybe they can send him without expecting a good fee. Giroud may not be enough for next season. They should get a forward next to Giroud. Otherwise, they will still be behind Napoli. The transfers are not clear yet so I can't predict but Milan definitely needs transfers.

[Strongkored]

They've recently increased Victor Osimhen's purchasing price to €180M which is to discourage top bidders.

The real value is € 120M, so there is a figure more than € 60M which is quite high and can be used to get other players, so actually Napoli is wanting to say to the clubs who are still after their main striker, that they will not sell this star, and the amount pegged by Napoli is equal to the real value of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. Maybe the clubs will be reluctant to get him and this season Victor Osimhen will stay with Napoli and that's what they have to do if they want to keep the title and can do better in the champions league next season. Unless Napoli make selling their stars one of their businesses to make money like the teams from the Bundesliga do.
Although a change in manager will also be a question, how will Napoli continue to perform an impressive appearance in the next competition?

[masulum]

Its seems right after Silvio Berlusconi era, AC Milan faced with financial crisis depend on recruitment with many players with free agent, unbelievable with AC Milan decision selling Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United indeed that player got more than four salary bigger than AC Milan. Not enough with primavera players promotion to main squad because most of them less experienced and Milan has to play not only in domestic league but also should focus in Champion League.

I don't sure with AC Milan keep compete for Scudetto tittle next season because selling Sandro Tonali is not good ideas, they need looking who can replace on midfielder position as well as like Tonali.

as far as I can remember, the last time AC Milan had stable finances was when AC Milan won the UCL title (2007), after that the sale of Kaka and Shevcenko was the reason for AC Milan to make their finances healthy, since this era, AC Milan is more often bought old players, loan transfer and looked for players with free transfer status. Milan had a plan to bring Tevez at that time also failed because of financial problems. Until Berlusconi sold AC Milan when he was unable to pay Milan debts. Next season, AC Milan may need to maintain their position by closing in the UCL zone, that is the best position i think. As we know, several players are leaving, this will make Pioli have to work hard in creating a strategy for next season.

I don't even think atletico madrid can afford to buy him from ac milan.

First the price is a joke. What club will spend such expensive cost to buy Theo Hernandez. Remember he is not like a very good player and he is not too young. I know with appearance of Saudi Professional clubs, there are something unprecedented on the transfer market going on but that price is too expensive for Theo.

Second, ATM are not rich in finance and they are tightening and reducing their spending so they will not spend €80 - €100 millions to buy a single player, and not spend such for Theo.

Lukaku has been directly making a negotiation with chelsea at this moment. He wants to stay in intermilan even longer. It seems like the club was not interesting to sell him to the milan but lukaku still insists on surviving in intermilan.

Lukaku never feel happy with Chelsea and I believe he will not find an agreement as well as happiness to play for them. He will try to leave in another loan or a transfer to another club. In Inter Milan, he is welcomed so it will be his first favorite destination when leaving Chelsea.

This is not a certainty. They might still do well.
Players and coaches leave club all the time, that doesn't mean that club has to be miserable. It all depends on how they handle their affairs. Napoli will lose a few important players, but Im not sure it would be more than 3 or 4. They can easily buy some replacement. Buying players should not even be a debate for Napoli. Whether their players leave or not, they have to strengthen their squad.
Osimhen might not leave. Napoli placed a 180 million price tag on him.

If we pin that Napoli's best game happened to their coach this season, then maybe they won't be better than the season they managed to conquer by winning the Scudetto title. But football is not like that, meaning anything can happen, even if they are still with the same coach next season.
This depends on themselves and their own performance, Napoli's solidity this season is not luck, or in other words they really prepared everything so that they managed to be a differentiator in Serie A this season. They should have known what they had to do with a lot of studying in the previous season.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Next season I see that Inter Milan is a strong candidate to win the Scudetto because their squad has seen good perfection this season.  Maybe Lukaku will return to play from the start of the season next season because last season he was hit by an injury which prevented him from playing fully in every game.  Martinez and Lukaku are the stickers that are very feared in the next season. Dzeko is gone and he has made a big contribution to Inter this season.

Romelu Lukaku's loan contract is about to end by the end of this month. Inter don't seem like they are very interested in extending this contract or signing him permanently. Because Lukaku is far away from his old look now. He is playing really inconsistently and you know how he played a serious role in Inter's not being able to resist Manchester City more by playing extra time.

Therefore his recent performance isn't convincing enough for Inter to fight for him. They were really keen on signing him on a loan deal before because they were hoping to see the same effort from him. As you know they were a great duo with Martinez. But now there is nothing left of it.

Napoli are required to maintain consistency and also the Scudetto title they won last season. I think this will be a challenge or even a failure for Napoli because we know very well that maintaining everything that is there is very difficult, especially when Napoli lost the captain of his ship, namely Spalleti, who chose to leave after the season ended.

Maybe we won't be able to see Napoli as strong as last season but we also can't fully see that their performance will drop drastically, of course there will always be improvements to have a better run in the Serie A competition. I think the chemistry between the players must be maintained so that the rhythm of the game they usually display can be the key to further success.

Apart from Romelu Lukaku's unsatisfactory performance, overall the Inter Milan team is now very good, it's just that last season they were inconsistent at the start of the season.
For next season I think it is very appropriate if Inter Milan is a strong candidate to win the Scudetto.
Reaching the final of the UCL despite losing to Man City, their performance was quite good, Inter Milan is now very strong on all fronts.
So I think for next season they will only add a few new players to maintain the existing game and consistency.

Correct, Lukaku loan contract is about to end at the end of June, yes this month. As you said Lukaku last played with Inter is against Manchester City in final UCL and it was very disappointing, and I also think that Inter may not want to extend his contract. Although at the moment there is no official news regarding Inter and Lukaku, but I think Inter have a firm stance, the failures of this season will not be repeated in the next season.

Even at the beginning of the year nobody thought that Napoli could do something, in my opinion they have a plan
Clearly, knowing nothing, we launch ourselves into speculations and are horrified by the decision to change coaches
but we don't know everything..
