Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[klidex]

Kvaratskhelia is a young player who is quite talented for the attacking position.
He was successfully brought in by Napoli for a fairly high transfer price and it seems that Napoli will still keep him until the contract expires in 2027 and today marks one year since he has played for Napoli.
During his career in football Kvaratskhelia has also won quite a few titles and this can make him a player with high transfer fees.

Napoli will not let potential players to leave from the club in summer. It has clearly stated by its president. Napoli is not keen to selling its player to the another club. Osimhen and kvarat gonna stay even longer in the club.
No intention to sell both. Napoli may try to sell osimhen once he will not be extending his contract with napoli but osimhen stays for another season. There's no hope for another club to buy him from napoli without providing very big amounts of money to pay the release clause. Let's see whether the same composition gonna work for next season or not. That's pretty interesting to see the performance from napoli next season.
Im feeling doubtful if napoli can repeat the same performance again.

Yes, of course it will also make it difficult for them in the new season, if Napoli let go of their potential players. Currently Napoli need a new defender, for the position left by Kim Min Jae, there is news that they already have a target some of defenders player from the Premier League. But regarding Napoli performance next season, I personally also doubt it because at the moment they have a new coach, who may have some tactical changes.

First, the Napoli coach is new. We are not sure if he can stabilize the team. Secondly, there are going to be several important changes within the Napoli team. Several of their key players will not be with the squad next season. Thirdly, teams like Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus will fight for the title next season. They are trying to make themselves stronger. And so I don't think Napoli will be favourites for the title next season. Even maintaining a stable performance will be very difficult for Napoli next season.

It's not that bad bro.
Look, even though Napoli replaced with a new coach, the Napoli players are still well received and ready to become a stronger club than last season to strengthen their attackers and win the standings again like last season.
I will still believe in Napoli for various reasons, but the most important thing is that all Napoli players still have very good performance to become the strongest club in the Italian Serie A league.

Clarity about this player is still a question mark, I see that the 2 teams that are in touch with Lukaku at the moment don't really want Lukaku. They can use it, but when it comes to spending money they seem to prefer other players. On the one hand, Chelsea also didn't want their losses to continue, because they brought in Lukaku not at a small cost, but he couldn't make a good contribution. On the other hand, Inter Milan may only want him as a player on loan, because it costs more to make him their permanent player.

The issue with Lukaku is that he is not a bad player, we have seen him be a great player for so long, and yet he got injured and haven't gotten back all that much yet. I am not saying he is bad currently, all I am saying is that we haven't had that many games to see him healthy so far. That is why I believe that it is going to be a trouble for anyone to sign him as well.

I do not expect him to be all that different and weird, he is going to be someone who will be a bit hard to recover with his size as well. This is why I believe that it is not going to be that much of a big deal when it comes down to getting a good contract for him, he could leave or stay or whatever but first we need to see him play before we can judge him and how he is.

Overall, his performance is not too bad, it's just that when you look at his performance and compare it with some of his previous performance, he currently has a significant decline.
He could have been controlled before because Conte knew what to do with this player but seeing his current condition, of course not all coaches could do it and Inzaghi was unable to get himself back to his original form like when Lukaku was under Conte's care.

Now it's really just a matter of seeing whether Inter are really prepared to spend around 40 million for this player or not because judging by Chelsea's intention with the initial offer of 34 million, it actually seems like a discount considering Lukaku's current decline in performance.

Kvaratskhelia's contract is until 2027 so there is no problem about keeping him for a long time. But Osimhen's is ending in 2 years. He might leave for free if Napoli wait for that long. I assume he wouldn't like to end his career at Napoli.

Kvaratskhelia is a young player who is quite talented for the attacking position.
He was successfully brought in by Napoli for a fairly high transfer price and it seems that Napoli will still keep him until the contract expires in 2027 and today marks one year since he has played for Napoli.
During his career in football Kvaratskhelia has also won quite a few titles and this can make him a player with high transfer fees.

Everyone focuses on Osimhen, but Kvaratskhelia contributes positively to Osimhen's performance with his fascinating performance. I think Kvaratskhelia is a valuable football player at least as much as Osimhen. Also, I think the president of Napoli is bluffing by saying that he will reject transfer offers for Osimhen and Kvaratshelia because he is trying to increase the transfer fee of these two star players. He is not wrong to do so. They have two very talented players and they should earn really good money from them under normal conditions.

It is reported that Juventus have succeeded in recruiting Timothy Weah from Lille, Timothy Weah is still young at 23 years old at the moment and Timothy Weah is contracted for 5 seasons at Juventus. It seems that Timothy Weah is projected to replace Cuadrado's position, which seems like Cuadrado's contract has also ended at Juventus. Well, I hope Timothy Weah can do better than Cuadrado, so it will be a purchase that can do well for Juventus. After all, Lille and Juventus both could only finish in the Conference League zone and so, Timothy Weah will still be playing in the Conference League next season but at a different club.

Wow, the son from AC Milan legend will playing in Serie A? that's a good news. I also hope he can play better than Cuadrado, because this young man also statistically has enough experience to play in Serie A. He also became one of the important players for Lille when that club won title in season 2020-21, so maybe his arrival will have a positive impact for Juventus, hopefully.

No one can refute that, and any team that has these two important players will want to maximize their value before selling them. If they leave this summer, Napoli will have made a lot of money from them due to their current market value compared to what they were when they first joined the club. The president of Napoli must be bluffing since he hasn't seen a decent buyer come in for them at a high price yet; if he does, he won't think twice about letting any of these players join the team.

Even maintaining a stable performance will be very difficult for Napoli next season.

same as I envision for Napoli in the next season because I think they will have a setback to their form. Be it in terms of their strengths or in terms of their play, even though last season Napoli was the most consistent team throughout the season, the changes that have occurred in squad depth will have quite an effect on their performance next season. It is possible that the departure of coach Spalletti will be one of the main drawbacks for Napoli regarding their performance next season because only Spalletti has the genius for strategy in Napoli game.

So if you look at teams that dominate the top 4 in Serie A like Juventus, of course they will be stronger than Napoli next season. Because Juventus revival point started to look neater last season, but it's just the point deduction which made their situation worse. For Ac milan, I am also not sure that they will be able to do an extraordinary job next season because Tonali departure might have been a bad thing for Ac Milan management to do.

The price placed on Osimhen might be the reason why no any club has come after him to bid for him. It might also be that they’re been sceptical about signing him, what if he doesn’t repeat this form consistently in the following season? it will be a great loss to any team that signs him. ....

Currently, Oshimen is Napoli's best asset. And of course they will still maintain the CF from Nigeria to continue to strengthen their squad this season. Especially because they also don't have a replacement for him if he sells it. This is the best choice to keep the CF. And several clubs in the EPL are also aware that if they want to bring in Oshimen, of course they need a lot of money because of course Napoli don't want to let him go. Oshimen himself still wants to remain in Napoli.

We all know Pogba has a perfect midfielder and he can help his team in the hard games also he couldn't play a lot for Juventus while when Pogba was playing for Macnshter United he had a good performance and he was just unlucky because of getting injured however I don't know if they can show good performance after getting recovered or not because he is a 30y old player.

You're right, Pogba can make a difference in a crucial match. He actually brings big impacts to the team, he proves it in Juventus in the previous seasons. Sadly, he got injured many times in the season 2022-2023, so he couldn't give his contribution and just sit on the bench. It is clear that the problem isn't in his quality but it is about his fitness. I'm sure he can still play in his good performance when he recovers from the injury.

Anyway, 30 years old isn't a problem of a player to play well. Even Ronaldo still can play in 35 years old, so it is not the point of the problem. The problem is how he is getting more often to be injured. I think Juventus must give more attention to him.

As for next season, basically all strong teams have the chance to become champions in Serie A. Especially for all the teams you mentioned, although I also doubt that Napoli will repeat its success next season by winning the championship. Because Juventus, Milan, Lazio and Inter will also provide very tough resistance and will not allow Napoli to win again next season, unless Napoli can really have a bigger luck factor to become a champion.

Everything will be seen in the next season. Several big teams experienced an imbalance last season which allowed Napoli to consistently take advantage of this opportunity to win the Scudetto trophy after fasting for a long period of time. For Napoli, they know that many of their players are the target of big teams from other leagues, so if they let go or sell two or 3 of their core players, they most likely will not be able to repeat the success they have done in this season.

There is nothing interesting enough about the development of transfers from Serie A teams, be it the Juventus team or other teams because they have not strong finances to bring in quality players from other leagues. In fact we will see many star or influential players in team depth go to other teams like Tonali from Ac milan and Brozovic from Inter milan as well as Kim from Napoli. That will make them weak when they play on the European stage, either the European league or the Champions League.

Oshimen himself still wants to remain in Napoli.

Napoli will really be bad enough if they let Oshimen go. Because he contributed very well last season and scored a lot of scores, and became one of Napoli's key players in the Serie A victory. Even though maybe this season will be different because the coach is also different and the strategies and tactics will also be different, Oshimen should be able to adapt quickly. Hopefully his injury at the end of last season will not have a bad impact again.

[Leviathan.007]

It seems Lukaku is a very important player for Inter Milan and they are almost doing anything for this player because they are selling André Onana and Marcelo Brozović to supply the money and buy Lukaku from Inter Milan, However After selling Brozović to Arabian teams Inter Milan got a better situation even to buy more players other than Lukaku. Because currently Lukaku is 30y old and he is not a player to play for a year in Inter Milan.

[Docnaster]

It looks like Napoli are likely to keep many of their talented important players in the team this summer. There is still no offer for Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen as far as I have seen. Kvaratskhelia's market value is much lower than Osimhen but it is still 85 million euros. Not many teams would be keen on signing him both players right away. Especially Osimhen's departure is much less likely because the teams interested have to pay at least 130 million euros for his fee.

Kvaratskhelia's contract is until 2027 so there is no problem about keeping him for a long time. But Osimhen's is ending in 2 years. He might leave for free if Napoli wait for that long. I assume he wouldn't like to end his career at Napoli.

It might also be that they’re been sceptical about signing him, what if he doesn’t repeat this form consistently in the following season? it will be a great loss to any team that signs him. Although I don’t see any reason why his form will reduce any time soon, he has proven expertise and I’m certain he’ll keep up with it for a long time to come. If Osimhen eventually didn’t join any club this summer transfer, then he must have been given a better juicy offer by Napoli that’ll keep him for another season before his contract expires in 2 years time. If Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia remains at Napoli by next season, the team will still be a strong contender for the Serie A title next season.

Judging by Victor Osimhen's  performance last in the just concluded season, it's should be known that Osimhen is  worths ever dime that's be placed on him before Napoli can allow him leave the club.
I'm yet to see a public bid that's been placed by any European club for the Nigerian striker. But in the absence of any reasonable bid, then  Osimhen should be allowed to remain in Napoli

There were some rumours regarding Lukaku to join Milan this summer. Is there any update about that? As far as I can see there isn't any development about that. Milan were going to sign him for 40 million euros which is current market value at the same time. He has officially returned to Chelsea now. And his contract is a really long one which is until 2026. I don't know what Pochettino thinks about him but Chelsea must not have any plans about Lukaku from now on.

But actually he can still be a substitute player for Chelsea at worst depending on the performances. If Pochettino insists on keeping him then Milan's plans can be ruined. Milan really need a striker now and it looks like Lukaku is one of the alternatives because his cost is quite low.

The beauty about football is that things can turn out rather very good for Napoli next season.
Not very many important players will leave Napoli this summer. I feel the ones that would leave can be replaced and there will be one or two additions to the squad.
Napoli may not be a very rich team but they don't easily sell off their star players. Kvaratskhelia  will not leave and most likely Osimen will not leave because the price tag on his head shows Napoli are no ready to sell.

All the teams you mentioned fought for the league last season but Napoli still won the league. So them buying players and reinenforcing doesn't mean Napoli will not also compete.

That's a little bit weird that there are still not any official offers for Osimhen even after the good performance he had because we heard some news even about Real Madrid they wanted to hire this player. But if everything goes like this, I think he will stay in Napoli, and even in the next season, Napoli can be on the top team in the Serie A race for the title.

No official bid for Victor Osimhen? I guess he's not yet a priority for elite teams at the moment. Despite the fierce competition among clubs, Napoli won the scudetto this season. Napoli is an exceptional team with high-quality players, but their performance may suffer next season because its head coach, Luciano Spalleti, left in order to spend a greater amount of time with his family following a long record-breaking season. Victor Osimhen and Khavicha Kvarastikhelia are the best duo in Seria A and Napoli right now. They have a strong chemistry down there; they're constantly there for each other and provide extremely important assists.

I believe there is some uncertainty among the interested clubs whether Osimhen is a player who can have an excellent season in the Serie A with a club like Napoli that was performing extraordinarily last season, and then can have a season that is more average than excellent. This would still be ok if the price for Osimhen wouldn't be far more than 100 million. That is a risky investment when there is still doubt that he can constantly score this number of goals for years in a row.

[Velvet78]

I'm curious about whether Inter can live up to the expectations from them for next season. Because they are the number one contenders for the league title according to bookies. After seeing the previous season in the Serie A it is really hard to believe in Inter that much honestly for now. Of course they weren't consistent and that was why they were out of a title race in the first place.

Maybe bookies are considering that Inter would maintain the current level and that would be enough to become champions in the end. But it is still early to make sure of it. Besides they are losing some players one by one recently. Dzeko, Lukaku and who knows who else will be leaving this summer. Di Maria is also leaving for example.

In fact, the expectations from Inter are not so great - a 30% chance of becoming champions is, at least formally, and being a favorite in this case, but in fact, if we take the situation "against all", then this means being an underdog. As for Inter's problems, they exist, but competitors also have them, and now it is difficult to single out someone from the Inter-Napoli-Juventus trio. Milan is close, but they look weaker than this trio.

I agree with you. Milan can't give much hope to their supporters these days. Because they have some issues to solve first. They should start with bringing a solid centre-forward this summer. Maybe their productivity wasn't that bad in the previous season. But they can't rely on Giroud or Origi from now on.

Giroud is 36 years old and in a couple of months he is going to be 37. I assume Milan would part ways with him after his last season on his contract. Origi is a big disappointment as he just can't score goals properly. It is like he was way better at Liverpool.

There is none, so far there is no situation that he would be leaving, not because Inter and Lukaku became a great duo or something but because there aren't any teams willing to spend a lot of money for him, and Inter do not want to part ways for free after spending money on basically his recovery.

I guess he is going to stay there for at least another season and provide some goals and show that he still "has" that talent, after that maybe they can find a buyer for him to leave with some good amount. Inter also lost Dzeko this summer as well which means that it is going to be a bit of a tough situation as well. I am not saying it will be easy or anything like that, but he could definitely be a good thing for Lukaku since he will be one of the main strikers for sure.

They have a strong chemistry down there; they're constantly there for each other and provide extremely important assists.

Since a few months ago, there have only been rumors floating around for Osimhen, but there has been no official offer so far. Despite that, Osimhen's dream of playing in another league still exists today and it is likely he will go to the English Premier League or the Spanish La Liga.

But even though the odds are very strong to strengthen one of the teams in the league, Osimhen's current decision does say something else and he will likely prefer to stay in Serie A with Napoli for another season. Surely he will prove with Kvaratskhelia that they can still bring Napoli to peak performance even though the coach and some of his players have left first.
