Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Fakhrulenclix]

Inter Milan isn't known to be a club that can with just a striker and that's why it is believed that they'll definitely sign a striker this summer

I read in the local media, Inter have got Marcus Thuram. He is a footballer who plays as a striker. It looks like he will team up with Lautaro Martinez. Marcus Thuram, Borussia Monchengladbach forward. With Inter, Marcus Thuram will earn a salary of 6.5 million euros every season.  Inter will continue to look for other players to prepare for next season. Source

well, this will make the competition even tougher for Inter Milan with Ac Milan because actually Marcus Thuram was the target of Ac Milan who wanted to buy from the beginning but Marcus Thuram decided to choose to join Inter Milan.
maybe Marcus Thuram thinks that if he joins Inter Milan he still has the opportunity to make a career in the champions league so he can experience playing in the big leagues or being able to compete in the UEL will be much better.

and now Ac Milan is starting to look for new targets that can be on par with Marcus Thuram to compete with Inter Milan.

I think it's a very right choice from Marcus Thuram, the Inter Milan team is now developing better than their city rivals AC MIlan and many things.
And Inter Milan are also in dire need of a striker after Edin Dzeko's departure and there is still no certainty about Lukaku's loan extension.
Seeing what Inter Milan did in the second round last season I think next season they will be much better, last season they only started the season inconsistently so they couldn't compete strictly for the Scudetto.

Yes, this one player will not be at Inter Milan next season, and I think that will be a good decision for Inter Milan, because this one player is really slow now. It's time for Inter Milan to have an attacker who has speed in my opinion. Learning from the matches in the Champions League, they lacked players with speed, so some of the counter-attacks they carried out had to run aground, because Manchester City could quickly close up the available space.

Inter has been completing marcus thuram's transfer. He just need to have done with medical check up before he will be officially announced by intermilan as a new player for the club. It seems like that thuram will be replacing lukaku as a partnerfor lautaro martinez next season. I hope that he will able to perform better in intermilan compared when he was playing for his old club. Chelsea is not giving approval for intermilan to take lukaku as loan again.
The club will only sell him to the arabian club. Intermilan can try to sell onana and used money from selling onana to buy lukaku as permanent transfer but i doubt if intermilan will do that.

[rendravolt]

What Milan is thinking is very far from the fans' expectations and if it is true that Milan makes an offer to sign Lukaku this is definitely a setback. We know Milan have just secured around 70 million euros fresh funds after successfully selling Sandro Tonali to Newcastle and I think Milan should be able to find a much better striker than Lukaku with these funds. At Inter Lukaku has often failed to prove his worth and even though Milan started their bid at 40 million euros I don't think it was worth it and it would be better for Milan to start discussing his options again.

Lukaku's performance in intermilan was not so bad as you said. Even though lukaku has failed to bring intermilan to win UCL but his performance was quite well last season. Intermilan was winning a trophy + it has gone to the final of UCL which was a great achievement by intermilan. The only problem if lukaku never had interest to join in ac milan. Acmilan was making the wrong decision to tageting him as a new striker for the club.
I think that ac milan shall not try to take lukaku. Ac milan must have found another player that can become a new striker for ac milan upcoming season. Lukaku will never ever fit for the club. He is only wanna playing for intermilan.
Even he rejects to play for chelsea and he was only going for intermilan. Chelsea even ac milan must retain themselves in using this guy as striker.

Indeed, Lukaku is not entirely bad, but when a team like Milan, who are also less consistent every season, that can be something that will make them difficult in the end. It must be admitted that Lukaku is overly confident, he always feels needed for other teams and he is not aware that his performance continues to decline every year. I think Milan need to be wiser in using the available funds to get quality players and to achieve this they have to find a striker who can be a mainstay when the team is struggling to score goals. Milan is one of the big teams in Serie and this decision must be carefully thought out if they are interested in signing Lukaku.

Lukaku may join Milan, after Inter almost bought Thuram which was a Milan target for fixing their Attack.

Lukaku was at Inter in Loan, and Milan is aiming to get the same deal from Chealsea.

I don't know why Inter Milan won't buy this player for the next season, Lukaku had a good performance this season. I mean he couldn't prove himself at the start of the season in Inter Milan but recently and especially in the last weeks in the Serie A and Champions League he had a good enough performance and helped his team enough. Ac Milan offered 4m for hiring this player but I think Inter Milan had to buy him because of the season he spend there.

[hahay]

I believe that we have an exciting Serie A season in front of us.

I believe it will be exciting too, the last three seasons was won by Inter milan, Ac milan and Napoli, so the Seria A gave us three different winners for the last three seasons, that is very good competition and it may even be possible that the next winner will be a different team from the last three winners. Napoli are the current champions and they will want to keep their trophy, it will be hard but i believe they can do it, their manager is no longer with them, but if they can keep their best players, then there is a possibility of them to still win the seria A again next season.

Not sure about Napoli next season because after all, Napoli's success in winning the Scudetto this season is also because Juventus are in a chaotic situation. Because I'm sure, if Juventus didn't receive a point deduction penalty from the start, then the point gap between Napoli and Juventus is also not too far and Juventus could have overtaken Napoli last season. But unfortunately, Juventus received a point deduction so that Juventus were unable to be consistent in every match they played. But for next season, I think I'm still confident that Juventus can enter as a team in the Scudetto race.

previously Lukaku wanted to stay at Inter. I think Inter must understand that next season they still need Lukaku, especially with Edin Dzeko leaving. Inter's best option would be to buy Lukaku, who suits Inter's style of play.
but if Inter has other options up front. I think they should let Lukaku go to Milan or Arab. because previously there was news that Chelsea was negotiating with an Arab club regarding the transfer of Lukaku.

It is always good to get the facts straight.

The 15 points deduction penalty was officially awarded on January 20th, 2023. On that date Napoli stood at 47 points in the table whereas Juventus Turin was at 37 points, making it a 10 points gap already before the penalty was announced. Napoli almost played a perfect season and outplayed the rest of the field including Juventus. I doubt that even without the penalty at that point Juventus would have had a chance to close that gap. I am now even less optimistic for Juventus next season as I don't see many reasons why they should improve significantly.

Ac Milan offered 4m for hiring this player but I think Inter Milan had to buy him because of the season he spend there.

There are several conditions that Inter might look at in the Lukaku case.
Firstly, he has a very high price and of course this will disrupt his financial condition if he is forced to buy Lukaku because we know that Lukaku will not be released at a low price for Chelsea, at least it still allows the price to be above the average player.
Second, the performance is not too bad but it's just that with the high salary and the value that is still high for Lukaku I think it's still lacking and of course this is not a good thing for a player who does have high values but his performance doesn't match the price and salary .
I think in this case Inter are clearly quite good at making decisions because bringing in Lukaku also apart from draining their pockets, their performance is clearly still far below the average for an expensive player.

[Jody.Drummer]

The club will only sell him to the arabian club. Intermilan can try to sell onana and used money from selling onana to buy lukaku as permanent transfer but i doubt if intermilan will do that.

This is interesting because previously I read some reports that Marcus Thuram was linked with Milan but indeed Inter managed to sign this player and the media probably didn't get too much attention because I had never heard of anything before
On the other hand, this is also a good decision because in this case, losing Dzeko to being replaced by Thuram who is much younger is of course very good. But for now at least they have to find another addition because Lukaku is also certain to leave and with this condition, they at least need one more striker as an option if Lautaro and Thuram cannot play.
Lukaku is still too expensive and allows him to go back to Chelsea even though at Chelsea he will immediately enter the sales list.

There is rumors Al-Nassr want to sign Marcelo Brozović from Inter Milan, and it seems like these rumors will happen because Inter Milan needs a big amount of funds to buy a lot of players too. Actually, this player is also being targeted by the Barcelona club, but it looks like Barcelona doesn't have enough money to compete with Al Nassr, because I think we know how powerful the Saudi Pro League money is. Brozovic as far as I know this guy was player key for Inter Milan last season, him helping them winning the Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana, as well as reach the final of the UCL.

Well, its a good deal for Inter Milan if Brozovic moves to Saudi for a very huge fee. At 30 years, past his prime, i believe its right time for Inter Milan to let go, cash out and get younger replacement for the Talisman. Also, With AC Milan interested in Lukaku; it is important for Inter Milan to begin to shape up their transfer market.

[shinratensei_]

It is still doubtful how solid Napoli will stay next season. Rudi Garcia has taken over and we don't know how many of their players who played a big role in the Serie A championship will leave this summer. But it looks like Osimhen is quite likely to stay for at least another season. Because his asking price must be around 130-140 million euros.

Napoli's president has been confirming if he will not let osimhen and kvarat to go out from the club in summer.
Napoli's president has been putting a very big wall for both of players. Another club will think for twice before try to buy their release clause. It's caused by napoli already put very high price for them all.
Im a bit skeptical about the performance from napoli under rudi garcia.

None of the European clubs looks keen on paying that high sum of money to sign him permanently. This is good news for Napoli of course. However his contract ends in the summer of 2025 so they might need to sell him next summer in case he doesn't want to extend his contract any longer.

Napoli can at least use its top scorer in serie a last season once again. Osimhen has been confirming if EPL has become his dream but it seems like that he was not interesting to leave from napoli this year.
Next year may be different for him. Im sure some clubs will be eyeing him as a new striker.

Even he rejects to play for chelsea and he was only going for intermilan. Chelsea even ac milan must retain themselves in using this guy as striker.

I doubt with Milan has enough money for signing Lukaku due should fight with Saudi Pro League team give bid for buying Lukaku from Chelsea, its seems dilemma for Lukaku position right now, he has denied for playing with Saudi Pro League teams but his previous team Chelsea want to sell him there. Right now the future from Lukaku depend on Inter Milan want to pay higher fees transfer for Chelsea or Lukaku will return back as loan option from Inter Milan. Inter should keep him stay for one year later after leaving by Edin Dzeko, Inter's attacking line only left Lutaro Martinez right now.

For Lukaku performance in this season not really bad, he has success bring Inter lead to final stage in Champion League but he got injured and absent on many game for Inter Milan.

[sana54210]

I saw that news too and yes Edin Dzeko will go to Fenerbahce on a free transfer, I wonder why Inter didn't extend his contract even though he is old but he is still quite sharp. But anyway, Dzeko already anchored to Turkish Super Lig and it is his decision. Regarding the Saudi Pro League, I think he still wants to be in the Europa zone because maybe he still wants to get a lot of achievements. But if there is an interesting offer in Saudi, I also think it will be very good for him and agree because Dzeko not young anymore.

From my little knowledge, Minal should have extended Edin Dzeko's contract. Edin Dzeko is not a young player but he is an experienced complete player. Edin Dzeko has a lot of reputation as a professional player. Edin Dzeko was a good Inter Milan striker from what I saw. I think Minal's compromise with Edin Dzeko was probably the right thing to do. Dzeko wants to make a tough history in football in the end

I think they wanted to just rebuild, because getting the same old players to give them some talent could be good but it is not sustainable. If you buy a player that is 23-25 years old, you can do it for maybe 10 years, but at 37 years old Dzeko could be good for another season maybe, but it is not sustainable, you need to start thinking about the future as well. This is why I understand them not getting him back.

Plus, Inter, Milan, Juventus, Napol, and even Roma will have a chance to fight for the top spot next season. Probably not Roma, but all the others needs to build a team that could rival everyone and without that I do not think that it would be a smart decision, it would be much smarter to keep getting better results with younger players so you can have a better future in the league.

I believe Milan did the right thing. They should definitely get younger players on the team. I don’t think they should get rid of all the old players. Experience is also needed. But they definitely need young players to boost their performance for sure. The older generation is going to have a tough time keeping up against the young and fast players. If they can manage a good balance between the young and experienced generation, they will actually be able to do very well. I think this was the right decision taken by them about Eden Dzeko.

[Doell]

-snip-

Well, its a good deal for Inter Milan if Brozovic moves to Saudi for a very huge fee. At 30 years, past his prime, i believe its right time for Inter Milan to let go, cash out and get younger replacement for the Talisman. Also, With AC Milan interested in Lukaku; it is important for Inter Milan to begin to shape up their transfer market.

Inter must be even more aggressive in this transfer market, considering that they also currently do not have large enough funds to bring in top quality players. And they have to find a pretty good young player, but not too famous to get a low price. Although it's difficult actually, but previously Napoli managed to get young players at low prices too. I mean Kim Min Jae if i'm not mistaken Napoli got him at the price €18.05m, they succeeded in getting the scudetto because of his services too. As well as Kvaratskhelia, Napoli had great success in getting talented young players with low price. So I think Inter should learn from Napoli actions in the transfer market before, and I hope Inter will soon find many talented young players out there.

To be honest, i don't see the decision taken by Inter as good enough because if we look at Dzeko's performance statistics over the past 2 seasons, he was able to provide 31 goals in 100++ matches and that's pretty good imo, well after all young players are definitely more prioritized than a new player for reasons of physical fitness as well as enthusiasm ^{(i still respect the decision of the inter management)}
In this transfer market, it seems ^{(which is reported)} that Inter Milan will not stop with Marcus Thuram, they will add several other players, to increase Inter's attacking power and their midfield.

[xzone]

If I'm not mistaken, 23 million is mentioned as the transfer fee. Barcelona may be in a better situation than in previous years due to financial problems, but I don't think they will pay that much for a 30 years old player.
Saudi Arabian teams are spending so much money right now that we can watch all players over 30 in this league in the coming years

I don't think Lukaku will be considered as important for Milan after he was important for rival club Inter. I don't think Milan will really wants to sign Lukaku from Chelsea as striker, even if they have the money to complete a transfer. Lukaku also doesn't seem to suit Milan's style of play, he would rather be at Inter for a long time after he was known as a dangerous striker at Inter for several seasons.

Even if Chelsea have to sell him, it is very likely that Lukaku will not be sold to Milan. There are a lot of better players than Lukaku, so Milan shouldn't be too interested in signing Lukaku.

Saudi Arabian teams are spending so much money right now that we can watch all players over 30 in this league in the coming years

Actually this is all done by the saudi arabia club because they only need top players who are from europe to be able to give a strong performance for the saudi arabia club.
It doesn't matter how much it costs and how old it is, but Saudi Arabia needs top players to give popularity to the Saudi Arabian League.
So that Saudi Arabian clubs always offer very high offers and I'm sure Barcelona will not be able to compete because of the bad financial problems that Barcelona is experiencing.
