Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jody.Drummer]

for now Osimhen is Napoli's mainstay player and the reason Napoli is giving such a high price is because they really don't want to really sell him and if there is a team that is willing to buy at a price that has been set by Napoli, they have already targeted other players who can still help Napoli dominate the standings next summer. so don't worry too much about Napoli's future in the summer because no one really wants to get Osimhen at such a crazy price and Napoli always has a strategy and a way to stay the best in Serie A.

What Napoli is doing is one of the efforts to keep themselves strong in Serie A next season, because such a high price can also be for two other players whose quality is not much different from Osimhen. This means that Napoli is quite smart in managing this strategy in terms of protecting its players and also in terms of maintaining the strength of its team so that they don't experience a slump in the next season. So this is one of the wisest thoughts for Napoli.

Currently there is news that in the end Osimhen will extend his contract with Napoli because seeing from the current conditions where Madrid did not move and Manchester United did not make an offer for him, it is indeed likely that a contract extension will be made by Osimhen.
Actually this has been awaited by Napoli too because seeing from the season before it ended they had offered a new contract for this player but were still held back because at that time there were quite a lot of clubs who wanted Osimhen's services, but when the price set by Napoli was quite high then one by one the clubs who wanted Osimhen to leave.

Even though AC Milan has brought in several players, I am not sure about AC Milan strength in facing the 2023/2024 season. Tonali's departure to Newcastle, Milan failed to buy Kamada, will likely make it difficult for AC Milan to compete for the title. AC Milan fans are quite disappointed with Milan current transfer. I am worried that Leao will choose to leave in the mid-season if Milan cannot compete from the start of the season.

So far, AC Milan has not seen a major overhaul, instead they were abandoned by players who had quality and did not bring in other quality players to fill the void. It's only natural that many people began to doubt AC Milan for next season because they didn't make many changes, this is enough unfortunate.
However, the transfer window is still quite long and we can still wait to see what moves AC Milan will make to improve even better.
I hope AC Milan can get up to be even better next season so that the competition in Serie A to fight for the Scudetto is even more competitive compared to last season.

Victor Osimhen is an important figure behind Napoli's success in winning Serie A. I am far more certain that the club will try to keep Osimhen at the club despite receive offers of up to hundreds of millions from outside teams who want Osimhen. Even if he want to try playing in the EPL, I'm not sure Osimhen will agree with Chelsea

By putting a very big release clause, the club made a commitment to protect him.. It's caused by the fact that if osimhen becomes a key of napoli to win scudetto last season. That's why i expect osimhen will not be leaving from the club.
Although Chelsea has the funds to purchase him, Osimhen has stated that he is not interested in joining Chelsea. Chelsea has so many strikers. No point to join chelsea.
Remember that if chelsea has bought jackson and nkuku. These are strikers that will compete with osimhen if he will be willing to leave from the club and join in chelsea.
I hope that will not true. Osimhen can reject any offers that came to him

[babo]

I do not understand
In my opinion, Juventus is not in a position to refuse
true potentially it's worth 70, but if they give you 60 and since you're in a bit of a bad way with the money, take it and that's good
there's no point in throwing money with a player who doesn't want to play with you (among other things)

It is not too complicated, you should understand it. Vlahovic is still young, has a good performance, and worth €70 million. If you are Juventus management, you must reject Chelsea offer because it's not worth the Vlahovic's value. Moreover, Vlahovic has stated that he wants to stay with Juventus for a more season. So, Juventus has no reason to sell him at under market value.

now everything is clearer to me
thanks a lot for the explanation

I had reasoned more impulsively, that is, money is needed, I accept the 60 million
but in fact perhaps what you say makes sense, better not to sell for at least 70 million

[Blitzboy]

180 million for Osimhen are disproportionate, he had an excellent season with Napoli but a single good season is not enough to give such a high value to victor! Haaland according to this criterion should be worth 500 million minimum! I think Napoli don't want to deprive themselves of their best striker also because they wouldn't find a valid alternative on the market, but if they don't sell for 180 million they will most likely never be offered this amount again to Napoli

I think Napoli is deliberately setting a higher rate than the normal price. because they really don't want to lose Victor Osimhen from their squad. and yeah it's true they'd even be hard pressed to find a replacement Osimhen if their Osimhen were to let loose. so by setting a high transfer price is for the big teams to give up on the hunt for Osimhen. And so that Osimhen stays in Napoli longer. But if there is a club that wants to redeem 180 million euros for Osimhen. then Napoli will clearly benefit financially but will be disadvantaged in terms of club performance in the future. because they will lose their flagship player and I don't think they will find a replacement anytime soon.

Wow, we're talking about a huge sum of money here! Napoli's high wall of 180 million for Osimhen makes sense, in my opinion. A loud warning to all the other clubs out there! A hedge against financial loss in the event that their top player leaves, and a means of retaining him. To what extent, though, is it even a question? Is there a club that would pay that much for him?

So, what comes next, exactly? They'll have more money in the bank, but a huge vulnerability in their first line of defense. Can that sum be used to acquire a player who can step in and play immediately in place of Osimhen? Not likely! If Osimhen quits, they will likely see a significant drop in performance unless they have a secret weapon in their ranks. This isnt a pretty sight, is it?

3 months, is not enough to see AC Milan make changes this season. When AC Milan lost Diaz and Ibrahimovic, Milan also sold Tonali. Of course Milan gets 70m euros, but AC Milan's strength will be more weak. I am sure that in the remainder of this transfer window, Milan will not get a quality player for more than 70 million euros, or the equivalent of Tonali price. Milan will try to buy lower price players with average non special talents.

The big name Ac Milan and playing in the Champions League next season may not necessarily make the players in the squad last. Management could not take a firm stance amidst the club's unstable financial constraints. Players with more quality like Tonali were released by Ac Milan for a very realistic reason, namely to get large funds from selling him to Newcastle. In this transfer market I agree with you in the sense that Milan are not as aggressive as other teams, they just brought in Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Marco Sportiello and released three players Tonali, Ibrahimovic who retired and Ciprian Tatarusanu.

It looks like they will rely more on players returning from loan periods than buying new players. With the changes in Ac Milan's management after Maldini was fired, it certainly disturbed them in their targeting of players in the transfer market. If you see a situation like this, it's only natural that Milan is not included in the Serie A Champion candidate next season.

At least there are quite a lot of Milan players returning and also, so far Milan have only brought in two new players, one of which is Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea. Ruben Loftus-Cheek himself last season at Chelsea was injured quite often but yes, Ruben Loftus-Cheek always got the chance to play when recovering from injury. That way, then maybe Ruben Loftus-Cheek can play even better at Milan next season because after all, I personally remain completely unsure about Milan to be strong in the title race or maybe only in the top four.

Lukaku still wants to win Champions League in Europe and he is still young to think about Saudi Professional League. Winning Champions League depends on luckiness a lot but it is a future story. Lukaku must convince Inter Milan or other big clubs in Europe to rescue him from Chelsea and give him chances to play in Europe and Champions League.

Lukaku is a world class striker. he just needs to play for a club that has a system or style of play that suits him and indeed until now the one that suits him is Inter Milan. We can see that last season Lukaku contributed with Inter Milan. He scored fourteen goals throughout the 2022-2023 season while helping Inter win the Italian Super Cup and Coppa Italia as well as the Champions League runners-up.

Inter Milan must try to submit another loan proposal to Chelsea or its furniture because I think Inter still really need the services of a striker like Lukaku next season to compete for the Scudetto. It is true that the issue that is developing, Chelsea's management claims to have received a big offer from a Saudi Arabian club who wants Lukaku's services. But Lukaku himself has made it clear he will not return to Chelsea and he has also rejected an offer from the Saudi Arabian club. Because until now Lukaku admits that he still wants to stay with Inter Milan and he still wants to be able to play in the Champions League.

Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin is emerging as the latest Premier League star to be targeted by the Saudi Pro League, 90min understands. The Frenchman saw his game time limited last season, making just 12 Premier League starts, and is understood to be considering his options in the long-term. Although there are three years left on his current contract, Newcastle don't see a new deal beyond that as an option.90min understands that a number of clubs have checked on his situation, including Premier League rivals Everton and Crystal Palace. Champions League semi-finalists AC Milan and French giants Marseille are also believed to have shown an interest from the continent.

https://www.90min.com/posts/allan-saint-maximin-targeted-saudi-pro-league?

Saint maximin to go to the ac milan? Why not? As far as i can see that if his performance was being very impressive. I don't know why there are so many club put their eyes on him. He is a very talented player.
Im always feeling amazed by his performance, especially when the match between newcastle against city. Pep has been admitting him as one of the best winger.

It's very bad for eddie howe doesn't give him regular time to play. He deserves more time to play. I think that ac milan was taking the right decision to take him if club can. He can be a very good winger for acmilan.
He is one of most underrated winger in EPL. He rarely gets attention from media.

After successfully getting Loftus Cheek from Chelsea, now Milan are interested again in getting players from other English league clubs and Saint Maximin is indeed a very good choice for Milan. I think Saint Maximin has something that Milan needs, he has speed and accurate dribbles that can make the opponent's defense weak. On the other hand, maybe his position on the left wing means he has to become a substitute for Rafael Leao if he later joins Milan. But as long as he can compete with Rafael Leao maybe he can start at Milan. It would be a shame for Newcastle to lose this player and indeed Saint Maximin is an underrated player who is rarely looked at by other clubs.

Leao is Milan best player and hardly anyone can compete with him in attack there,even Saint Maximin I doubt can have a chance against Leao when Leao is in top form,he was recently injured but I think he is completely recovered now.The fact that Milan is looking very active in this summer transfer windows means only one thing,they are serious to fight for the title this year against Napoli and many other teams,last year they had a lot of bad luck as they drew against last place away and with the penultimate team in the standings at home,I think by strengthening their midfield and attack is a clear sign that they want to do better this time.

Yes, that's why I also said before that it was very difficult to be able to replace the position occupied by Rafael Leao, moreover he is one of the key players for Milan. Surely Rafael Leao will be more careful not to get injured again because his role can be a differentiator for Milan in every game and at the beginning of the defeat Milan were eliminated in the champions league last season against Inter because he was currently injured. Indeed, Milan is currently very active in the summer and is different from Napoli, which currently has not added any new players so they can strengthen their squad to maintain the Scudetto next season. I think now the teams in Serie A will be more serious because the winning team every year is different.

I've looked at the fixture list and for Milan's opening match will be the first against Bologna.
Serie A matches start on the 20th of August and we will be able to witness the Italian Serie A again.
It looks like Inter Milan and Napoli will be the most superior clubs for the 2023/24 Serie A season.

The month of August will be a great opportunity and will be the start of the day betting on all football matches of all leagues.

Today, information has already appeared on the pages of the Football-Italia publication that Osimhen can extend the contract with Naloli, he will receive a salary increase, and besides, he initially wanted to continue his career in Napoli. I saw the news that Chelsea are interested in him, but perhaps 100mn is not the amount for which Napoli are ready to let go of such a talented striker.

€100m is very logical in my opinion for a player like Osimhen. While he should be the target for all top teams, Napoli aren't willing to let him go like that! For example, Kolo Muani is being targeted by PSG and although there isn't any agreement yet, but signing him will reduce the chances of getting Osimhen.
Now hearing that the player himself want to stay in Napoli then I assume it will be a waste of money to not get that big amount of money from selling him but the positive side, Napoli could be the favorite candidate for the scudetto next season with him in the attack line.

If Napoli raised Osimhen's salary to a good level (I'm sure yes, since he is very in demand on the market and other clubs 100% made good offers), then it makes no sense for him to move from one of the top clubs in Serie A to an incomprehensible club from the Premier League  Napoli will fight for the title and play in the Champions League, while Chelsea will only try to get a ticket there and it is unlikely that they will compete with City next season.

It is clear from the hefty asking price that Napoli is committed to keeping Osimhen as their mainstay player. They are reluctant to sell him since they understand how important he is to the squad. Napoli though has a well thought out plan in place even if a team were to pay the asking amount. They already know other players who can make a big difference and help them maintain their domination in the standings. Because of this even though worries over Napoli future in the summer may surface it is crucial too have faith in their capacity to adapt and flourish. Napoli will surely be able to keep up their position as one of the top competitors in Serie A thanks to their shrewd management and unwavering ambition.

This is indeed one of the very good news for Chelsea, Inter Milan and also for Lukaku himself who wants to continue playing at Inter Milan. But currently AC Milan is also preparing to get Lukaku. So it is not certain whether Inter Milan or other clubs will get it. But I hope Lukaku stays at Inter Milan. because Inter Milan really needs Lukaku right now. What's more, Lukaku has started to blend into the game that was built at Inter Milan. he doesn't need to adapt anymore because he already understands Inter Milan's pattern of play.

Lukaku wants only intermilan to be a club that will make him as permanent transfer. I remember chelsea rejects acmilan. Juventus has not yet sent its bid for milan but the clubs is still monitoring the situation.
intermilan has interest in bringing back again lukaku from chelsea. Lukaku's contribution was a lot last season. That's why intermilan thinks that he will always become the best partner for lautaro martinez.
Lautaro will not leave from the club. Putting lautaro back with lukaku is a great choice.

I don't know if it's a good decision or not for Inter if we look at Lukaku's performance last season and it's possible that Inter fans don't really agree with this decision that Inter's owners have made. On the other hand, it is true that Chelsea will be the party who will greatly benefit from Lukaku's permanent transfer to Inter and currently Chelsea are indeed making large sales of their players in the summer to restore their finances. I think that if other teams like Juventus and Milan are also interested in signing Lukaku, surely there will be quite tough competition from the three teams to get Lukaku's services.

Chelsea is still suffering big loss. It's caused by chelsea bought him from intermilan with a lot of money but chelsea is willing to sell him with cheap price. That gives more advantage to the intermilan.
It's not yet clear how much money required to buy lukaku from chelsea but intermilan feels optimistic if the club will able to secure him in summer.

Chelsea have no plans to move Lukaku, despite the fact that he has failed to win over the new manager. Simeon Inzaghi has good ambitions for the team to win an extensive descriptions, and I hope he incorporates Lukaku in his solid project. Lautaro Martinez is Inter Milan's permanent top striker; he has a long-term deal and has no plans to leave anytime soon. Romelu Lukaku's favorite club is Inter Milan, where he has already won the scudetto. I believe he intends to continue at Inter next season, since he is eager to take on new challenges.

you have to want that team to play, I don't recommend it at all
it would be better if he reviewed his choice, maybe he can come to Juventus, we would treat him well
a player like him deserves more

It seems very unlikely that Juventus will recruit Lukaku, because I don't think Lukaku has ever asked to play at Juventus. Because anyway, Lukaku seems more suitable to play at Inter because yes, Lukaku also has a strong desire to keep playing at Inter. At least, this was proven when Lukaku played at Chelsea, and then Lukaku stated to be able to return to playing at Inter. With these factors, Inter should be able to bring Lukaku back into the squad, and it looks like it could be the right transfer for the club and also for the player.

I think Chelsea set a selling price too high for Lukaku which in the end was very difficult for Inter to accept. Lukaku is still good, but I don't think his value is higher than 30 million euros, but Chelsea want Inter to pay more. Loan options are being discussed, but it seems Chelsea just want to sell rather than put him on loan again.

Inter have so far not looked like they are going to force Lukaku's transfer at the value asked by Chelsea, that's because Inter seem to want to save a lot of money for other plans. Chelsea had to make a tough decision about Lukaku but I think 30 million euros is a good value for a 30 year old striker.
