Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[hahay]

I feel that Inter Milan will not get a second agreement to borrow Lukaku again from Chelsea. Because for now Chelsea is one of the teams that has sold more players and this option might also be exercised with Lukaku. if inter milan can't afford to buy Lukaku from Chelsea it could be that Lukaku will go to another team.

Chelsea will never ever approve it. Chelsea only demand to sell lukaku as permanent transfer only right now. His price already decreased a lot. It's time for intermilan to chase him back as permanent transfer.
Interimlan wants to take lukaku as loan again from chelsea but the club has no interest in sending him again to the intermilan as loan. Chelsea is now having the most difficult mission to sell lukaku as fast as possible.

I don't know why the big teams are not interested in Romelu Lukaku. Romelu Lukaku is only 30 years old. Romelu Lukaku's performance last season wasn't too bad. He also scored 3 goals in 8 matches in the Champions League. Teams like Newcastle may be interested in signing Romelu Lukaku. Not many teams are showing interest in signing Romelu Lukaku. I look forward to seeing what Chelsea management decides next.

That's the concern about Lukaku, it could be that Lukaku's career might become very dim due to the lack of interest from other clubs. Because yes, if Lukaku is not recruited by another club and then, next season Lukaku will be at Chelsea but yes, because it seems like Lukaku doesn't have a good place in the first team then it seems like next season Lukaku will be more on the bench. If this is true, then of course Lukaku's career will fade but yes, because the transfer window is still long, it is possible that at the end of the transfer window there are other teams willing to recruit Lukaku.

There is always a way out. I tee Milan has quite aging players that are worth replacing.  They have Henric Mkhitaryan for 34 years (attacking Midfield), Edin  Dzeko, for 37 years (central forward), and Darmian, for 33 years (right back). Currently, all the centre-backs in Inter Milan are 36 years and above and the two goal keepers are 38 and 40 years respectively. This team has enough players that are worth replacing to race funds and bring in new young players that are hungry to make names.  This is the only way forward but they keep holding unto those aging players.

Its not that easy. Rebuilding a squad is expensive and Inter don't have that kind of money. And also you don't expect them to just get young players. That's risky. The young players might not leave up to their potential, plus experience is a very big advantage in football.
Inter's players are not all old. They have players that are 27-29 years and the also have young player like Barella and Bastoni that are very good.
They just need to make a few additions and replace players like Brozovic and Dzeko that are leaving and they are good. I also read that they want to sign Lukaku permanently.

but you know, in my opinion it's not so much the players who have to change
This team has been like this for decades, the problem is the managerial part
it's the one to send home, not the players and not even the coach
Inter have changed many coaches, even good ones, no one manages to get as much as they should

Actually Inter still want Lukaku to be on the team it's just that at this time they don't have enough funds to contract him therefore Inter offers other options to Chelsea like extend the loan for 1 season, with a permanent contract option in the following season it's just that Chelsea haven't responded, maybe they are waiting for an offer from another club. reportedly Milan was also interested but there was no follow up.

I think Barcelona is just hoping that Brozović is going to come to Barcelona, just because he will be able to play at the top level of the competition and also play in a respectable league (no offense to the Saudi league). And that is the reason why Brozović is thinking about it twice.

I also actually support his decision that he should rather go to Barcelona and stay at the top level of competition unless he is getting an absolutely huge amount of money from the Saudi league.

I actually agree with you, that €30 million per season is not a lot for Al Nassr. So it will be interesting to see what happens. I honestly think if he is not getting €30 million or more per season from Al Nassr he should go to Barcelona.

There is nothing to be proud of when your team gets a player for 30 million a year when the other team offered like 5-10 million. You are getting screwed financially, players are basically taking advantage of the money Saudi league has and that's not something to be happy about.

Barcelona is the preferred destination of Brozovic in a head to head deal, if both clubs offered 10 million then he would instantly say yes to Barcelona, but because he knows he can milk these Saudi teams a lot more, he asks 3x more than what Barcelona offers, he hasn't even accepted more than double amount as well, think of how little he thinks about that club to reject a more than double offer. That's something to be sad about but I think that's what they are trying to change in the future.

Weah is arriving in Turin, he will go under medical tomorrow and he will probably announce officially as a Juventus player on Saturday.

Teams in Serie A are known for several players who are old enough to complete a team and it would not be surprising if Inter eventually continued to use the services of these aged players to be able to strengthen the team next season. I think there really needs to be regeneration because if you continue to rely on players who are old enough, of course that will be a weakness for Inter to be able to consistently win matches in every match. Regarding Lukaku, it is quite unexpected that Inter even want to make him permanent, even though so far he has not been consistent at Inter and sometimes also makes mistakes that are detrimental to the team, but surely Simione Inzaghi has other views on being able to use his services later to make them more useful.

Simone Inzaghi is quite an experienced coach. And Inter Milan's performance last season wasn't too bad. However, their performance was erratic. Inter Milan's squad is not strong right now. And so we are not seeing good performance from the team even after the coach is good enough. If Inter Milan can spend enough money to build the team next season then I would say Simone Inzaghi can make Inter Milan team more stable. However, Inter Milan is unlikely to prepare large funds for player purchases.

I look forward to seeing what Chelsea management decides next.

Lukaku's golden years are over in my opinion and he will never be as sharp as a striker. We know he can still contribute to the team and score goals, but when you want to compete in elite competitions and want to win titles you can't count on Lukaku as the main striker.

Some mid-range teams might be able to take advantage of Lukaku's situation, but when they really want a striker who is fast and has good finishing then I don't think Lukaku is what they are interested in. Indeed, Lukaku scored 14 goals and 6 assists with Inter last season in 3 different competitions, but his performance has dropped significantly compared to previous seasons.

Actually, even though Inter Milan failed to win the UCL title, they have shown that even though they don't have the fit players to stop the movement of opposing players. Next season, Inter Milan needs to close the transfer window with a focus on close several players. If this is done by Inter maybe next season they can win the Serie-A title.

I think Barcelona is just hoping that Brozović is going to come to Barcelona, just because he will be able to play at the top level of the competition and also play in a respectable league (no offense to the Saudi league). And that is the reason why Brozović is thinking about it twice.

Brozovic is a good player but he is not like a star player or super star player. I think he will have less reasons to stay in Europe if he receives too good offers from clubs in Saudi Professional League. He will have to make easier choice between staying in Europe and moving to Saudi Arabia.

To be honest, Barcelona do not have the money to bring in star players to the team. So they will have to go for players who are not going to cost them too much money or players who are free agents right now. This is a good decision to actually go and take a chance with Brozović. Of course, it might not work out, but at least Barcelona took a chance.

I also actually support his decision that he should rather go to Barcelona and stay at the top level of competition unless he is getting an absolutely huge amount of money from the Saudi league.

Surely he will receive better salary if he moves to Saudi Arabia if we base on salary those clubs in Saudi Arabia are ready to pay for European star players. Barcelona are in financial problems and they will not be able to provide too high salary for Brozovic.

He is already 30 years old. This is an interesting time in his career. If he wants to move to the Saudi league, he will obviously get good money. But if he stays in European competition and maybe joins Barcelona, and also performs well. His value will go up and maybe he will be able to get more money from the Saudi League in the future

I actually agree with you, that €30 million per season is not a lot for Al Nassr. So it will be interesting to see what happens. I honestly think if he is not getting €30 million or more per season from Al Nassr he should go to Barcelona.

€30 million per season is like x10 from his salary in Europe and even he receives €15 million per season in Saudi, it is good to accept such offers.

I know that it is a lot of money compared to what he's getting right now. But I also understand why he is asking for more. He knows that if he goes to Saudi league it is going to mean that no one will care about his career anymore. So he wants to make sure that he is getting the money that he actually wants. Otherwise, he is staying in European competition where he will be able to play at the top level of competition.

You are right that in Serie A it is known as the League with clubs that have mostly adult players.
But for this transfer season in Serie A, quite a lot of talented young players have entered.
Inter have struggled in the last season with some of their old players so if there is no better development in the line-up it will definitely be more difficult for Inter to occupy the top spot in the next season.
Lukaku was not a very good player last season and he is not what he used to be in terms of playing skills but in preparation for next season Inter took midfielder Kristjan Asllani for €10 million.

Failure to win the UCL title is unfortunate for Inter. But I think Inter's player turnover is the main weakness for Inter's team.  But for the next season, Interminal should select skilled players to be fully prepared. If the internal coach can add some new players and develop them into skilled players by coaching them properly. I think it will be very easy to win the Serie-A title next season

If that is true I have to say I am impressed how far you can get with a team that is struggling because of their old players. Causing trouble for Manchester City to win the Champions League title if proof of a lot of things but usually not of a team that has age problems. Inter played a great season and kind of the opposite of what you are saying, they played the better part of the season towards the end when you would expect old players to be tired. I agree that they have to get some fresh players as well, but at no point last season did they show signs of exhaustion.

players are basically taking advantage of the money Saudi league has and that's not something to be happy about.

I don’t know what we are asking from the players, but after all, they are professionals. They are playing for Money. And the players are supposed to go where they will get the most amount of money from. So, I think he will be making the right decision if he goes to the Saudi league. At least he will be making the right decision financially.

I honestly do not see anything wrong with him, asking for the money that he wants from the Saudi League. I actually think he should be asking for that type of money when he is basically downgrading from Barcelona to Al Nassr.

If Allegri is determined to stay for at least one more season then he will need to give his everything to impress the board. He should start from having a role in bringing the needed kind of players this summer. Because there are serious weaknesses in some areas of the lineup and the issues need to be fixed immediately. After that Allegri should do his best to motivate his players for new season to finish it in top 4 at worst. Qualifying for the Champions League must be the main target now.

As for being a title contender it is hard to say something about that for now. We need to see their effort first. And I hope Vlahovic can be more productive next time. I know he isn't a perfect fit for Allegri's system. But if he doesn't leave the team he will need to do his best for another season.

At least he will be making the right decision financially.

Honest and I also believe in this. It is impossible for a professional player to only care about their career or idealism in football. I'm sure there must be an element to this "money" itself. and this is not hypocrisy because we all understand that money is very important and can grant many things. The link in his move to the Saudi league, money too I believe to be one of the reasons. With high fees and a career that can still be maintained and developed, at least this will be very good, right? Btw,

But honestly, it is also normal that we are alsonsometimes surprised with some players decision frllto move from this Serie A to the league. Moreober if their career here is still good emough. But once more, this makes sense of anything.

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.

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.

Considering that many players from Napoli will disperse to European teams, there will also be a loss of power in Napoli. To collect this power loss, Napoli have to assemble good players next year, as it did this year. On the other hand, reinforcements are necessary in Milan's offensive zone. Success cannot be expected in all lanes with Giroud alone.

Are in indirectly tipping Ac Milan for the Seria A next season, believe me they're no bad side but I'll choose Juventus over any other side next season.
Just last season or the last two, they have suffered enough though it was pretty boring to see them win back to back and back before Allegri left Antonio Conte took over not for Andrea Pirlo to mess up the club. One thing is sure, they're bouncing hard up next season.

This time Serie A will be very much competitive because the first team of the last season, Nalpoli is losing everything. They lost their coach and he left Napoli while also many other starts and players they have are also leaving other teams like Juventus will not have the same bad situation as the last season they had and now I'm waiting for Massimiliano Allegri and his team to be in top of the table in the next season.

Barcelona's bid is far behind what already offered by al nassr but it seems like that brozovic wants more from al nassr. The agreement can be reached easily if al nassir will able to pay him €30m per season. I think that if it's easy for al nassr. The deal has not yet been made but brozovic is still waiting for another response from nassr. Brozovic has been even joking on his instagram regarding nassr's transfer. barcelona is no match for arabian clubs in term of money.
This club has so many unpaid debt at this moment. I guess if nassr will able to give what brozovic wants and he will move there as soon as possible. Money talks here.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Barcelona have offered a three-year deal to Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, but the Catalans seem unwilling to match Al-Nassr’s €23m bid.Brozovic is in talks with the Saudi club after the Nerazzurri allowed them to negotiate with their midfield star.
However, the 30-year-old has demanded €30m per season, €10m more than Al-Nassr currently offer.

https://football-italia.net/barcelonas-offer-for-inter-midfielder-brozovic-revealed/

We know the Arabian teams were usually trying to buy the European teams and invest there but it seems in this season they tried to put more energy into their own teams and they are trying to buy superstar players for their teams. Brozovic had a good performance in Inter Milan he was playing there for more than six years. But 30m is still lots of money however for a team like Al Nasr I know they can still pay him the money for the next season.

They wanted to buy European clubs for a while. Now, as you said, they are recruiting players to their leagues. I think this is a more sensible move. Both the advertisements of their own countries and the quality of their leagues have increased. I think Brozovic's fee is too high. Barcelona can't go up to this price. If they go up to that price, they'll get a good player. After all, Brozovic is a proven player. He could be a worthy player in Barcelona football.

If we look at his performance in Inter Milan, he is a quality player who can play comfortably in any team.

As Dzeko is about to join Fenerbahçe and Lukaku is also about to leave the team I wonder what Inter are planning to do. Because they will need to bring at least one centre-forward to the team in this case. Even one might not be enough in the long run thinking of injury or suspension cases as well. One of these strikers should be a reliable one who can make a good duo with Martinez and the other one can be just a good substitute player who can do well when there is a need for him.

It looks like Marcus Thuram deal is about to become official for Inter already. He is a decent scorer but his being versatile is also an advantage for Inter. Because he can even play as a left winger and his stats there so far have been really nice too.

My recommendation for Inter Milan is to extend Lukaku's contract. I know why I'm making this recommendation because Lukaku has been one of the players who has helped the team perform perfectly this year, and I think he still has more to give. Inter will likely think that signing Lukaku won't help the team and that he is about to get old, but it will be much more exciting to watch Lukaku perform in Inter Milan than when he was at Chelsea.
Next season, Inter Milan will compete in the Champions League. Although I think the squad can succeed without Lukaku, in my opinion, he deserves a better environment like Inter Milan.

Inter to extend his contract? I don't think they would plan to do such thing at the moment. Because Lukaku's recent performance was quite inadequate first of all. He played a big role in Inter's losing the Champions League in 90 minutes as well by wasting important chances. He is just an inconsistent player these days. We don't have the old productive striker Lukaku here. Maybe he isn't the same in his national matches. Because he is scoring many goals there with Belgium recently.

But this isn't enough to convince Inter as long as he doesn't reflect this performance onto his matches at Inter. Chelsea also don't seem to have plans for him so I wonder how he will end up this summer.
