Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[borovichok]

AS Roma is one of the clubs vying for the Scudetto this season; they did their best to blend in, but things did not go as planned. José Mourinho is one of the coaches with extensive expertise in football; yet, I do not believe they are capable of winning the scudetto next season, and they lack high-quality players in comparison to other elite clubs.

Mourinho has ambitions to sign players this season; he's interested in signing Greenwood on a possible loan deal, and he still has other names on his list that he intends to finalize before the end of the transfer market.

The lack of quality players owned by Roma seems to be caused by a lack of funds to be able to get some of these players. Some time ago, Roma also got additional players with free agent status and it seems that just making an offer seems like they are currently experiencing a financial crisis. Roma will always be in the top 4 if they stay like this next season and their chances of winning the Scudetto are almost certain to be very unlikely.

Regarding recruiting Greenwood on loan from Manchester United, I think that's not a good option considering that this player just finished serving his sentence last year and it's likely that his performance will decline. What's more, even though he has started training, it seems that Erik ten Hag hasn't called him back in the main squad.

if Napoli get quite a lot of money from Osimhen's transfer. but finding players who have the same level as Osimhen certainly won't be easy. that is what Napoli is worried about. They don't want to sink back after winning the Serie A title after decades of never getting it back. The last time Napoli won the title in Serie A was under Diego Maradona. and now repeated again in the time of Osimhen. so it's only natural that Napoli really expects a lot from Osimhen.

They can get luck one time but it is unrealistic to think they can get it repeatedly. In the last season, Napoli lost some star players like Insigne and Koulibaly but they repeated them by Kravatskhelia and Kim Min Jae. They are both very great successful transfers for Napoli in the last summer. In this summer they already lost Kim Min Jae to Bayern Munich, will they lose Osimhen and Kravatskhelia too?

Will the succeed again with new replacements for those star players? I believe a chance to succeed again is low, else very low.

If they are not careful, they will even lose a position in top four, not only Scudetto.

Well that's right. And it seems that everyone here also has almost the same thoughts about Napoli in the upcoming season. Well, maybe they won't be as lucky as last season when they won the title in Serie A. But they also shouldn't have such bad luck that they have to lose their place in the top 4. Unless Osimhen and Kravatskhelia also left Naples. so I'm pretty sure if Napoli lose their best strikers then they might even find it difficult to survive in the top 4. I personally at least hope that Napoli can triumph in the Champions League this season. at least I want to see them in the final. But what makes me doubt is that now Napoli is not coached by Spalletti. And have also lost their mainstay defender Kim Min Jae. so maybe high hopes for Napoli in the coming season are indeed quite difficult.

we don't need to worry too much about Napoli because I know that Napoli really depends on its flagship player, namely Osimhen and several other players, but we must always think positively that Osimhen knows that Napoli really needs him and will not leave Napoli until his contract expires. well, maybe everyone will think that Napoli's luck will not be repeated but what if Napoli still have another lucky streak after getting Kvaratskhelia.
maybe Kvaratskhelia can't match Kim Min Jae but at least Napoli's efforts to strengthen his formation are still very good. so we'll have to see if Napoli's form will put him in good form again this summer.

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.

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.

Right now, talking things like this is too early because now transfer window is already in progress and many big deals are going to happen with many changes are also going to happen in big clubs like PSG is already trying their best for the sell of Mbappé and then surely they will look around for the suitable alternative and Real Madrid is also having search of striker and Manchester United and few other English clubs are also looking for the quality players mean it's just start many ups and downs can happen in next few weeks.

Victor Osimhen and Napoli president already announces about having no any interest in sell of their main player but if they have their targeted price then surely something can cook here without any problem recently we have no good changes in Serie A clubs which mean again Napoli could be in spot for the title race, so it's very interested how this all will be ended.

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.

Romeo Lukaku and Inter Milan a wired love story is having nothing positive business because right now he wants to stay here and Inter Milan is not having enough funds to pay Chelsea and bring him for full time with now mostly feeling Chelsea wants to offload him in this season with things are going to have completely changed after the arrival of new coach with they are not ready to keep him, and he is already rejected Saudi offer which was surely suitable for him because this can give him better time to play and try to have something positive, but now he is in limbo and nothing positive is coming as well.

But in case, if Inter Milan manage to keep him then surely this could be decisive season for him because his performance can bring him back in limelight or if again he fails to perform as required then surely his career is going to have big setback with nothing positive will be happened as he is already over 30 now as well.

Big clubs in Serie A are not like clubs in the English Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga or also in Ligue 1 like PSG which are abundant with money, so the ability to buy players with good skills is always there, so many clubs in Serie A will not be aggressive in the transfer market including AS Roma, but because other clubs that are also competing for the Serie A title have almost the same fate, it should not be a problem for AS Roma in competing for the title, it's just that they are no longer a team that is quite reckoned with when it comes to competition for the title.
When Mourinho first arrived at AS Roma they had impressed in a number of matches but slowly over time experienced a decline and in the end they remained the team they were before.
Because they plays a lot in several competitions, one of the keys to being successful is to have reserve players who are not inferior in ability so that player rotation is carried out smoothly without sacrificing any matches and it could be that AS Roma doesn't have that so they have difficulty always performing well in every match.

So far As Roma have signed Evan Ndicka and Houssem Aouar but on free transfers, in that way I'm not entirely sure both players will have a big impact on As Roma's performance next season. But yes, I realize at least it's just a prediction because in reality, it's possible that both players will be able to play well because As Roma still gives them confidence. But indeed, after all, As Roma will still be difficult if it has to be a challenger in the title race because As Roma still does not have the quality above average to be able to win the Scudetto.

I support the decision taken by Napoli. I also understand that their selling Victor Osimhen is eventually going to result in them not being able to perform as well as they did in the last season. It is also really interesting decision by the player to stay in the team. If he wanted, he could leave the team. But he did not.

I don’t know if the contract is already accepted by Victor Osimhen, but I think he is going to stay and it is going to be a great decision for him as well. He is already performing really well in the team. That is going to give him more confidence as he has already proved himself with Napoli. I do believe that he will have to get better at one thing which is converting more percentage of chances into goals. I did see him missing some easy shots in the last season.

I don't understand why Inter Milan really wanted Lukaku even though last season's performance wasn't too impressive, throughout the 2022/2023 season in Serie A he played 25 matches and only scored 10 goals + 6 assists and Lukaku missed 12 matches because of injury, I don't think it's a good achievement. Does Inter Milan use a strategy to get players without spending a lot of money ?? unfortunately Chelsea realized it and did not offer other options except for release, but still interesting waiting for the end of this drama 

This season Inter Milan only spends €14.50 million for 2 players Kristjan Asllani and Francesco Acerbi don't understand why Inter brought player 35 years old, on the other hand Inter managed to get €43 million after release several players Andrea Pinamonti and Marcelo Brozovic occupy the top place these 2 players contributed €38 Million.

I think, Roma will improve higher next season because their management are seriously working to approve huge amount of money in this summer so that they can get the best players that can help the team to achieve their goal next season. Based on the past experiences, Mourinho is a talented coach that has something meaningful to impact the Roma players that will make the team to begin to take a good stand against those strong teams that defeated them in this season. I believe Mourinho will get it right in this summer to sign in talented players that will bring improvement that will make the whole world to celebrate them like the way they celebrated Napoli this season.

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.

Chelsea want approximately 35-40 millions but Inter highest bid is not more than 30 millions but the negotiation is still ongoing and this weekend probably we will see the result of this transfer whether Chelsea are willing to lower his price or they will be reject the offers from Inter but currently not many clubs who interested to Lukaku because apparently only Inter who serious want him moreover Lukaku will not into Mauricio Pochettino plan and Lukaku also has failed to impress Chelsea because at this team he lost his touch

In my opinion there is no reason for Chelsea to hold him much longer especially Chelsea will look for other striker just like Juventus player Vlahovic as the replacement of Lukaku so i am sure Chelsea will eventually accept the offers from Inter and 30 million is not high price and i am sure Inter has money and they just sell Marcelo Brozovic 18 millions to Al-Nassr so they will use the money from the sale of
Brozovic to buy Lukaku

Actually, Aurelio de Laurentiis seemed to say that after the end of the season, Viktor Osimhen verbally promised him that he would extend the contract and the only reason that this did not happen was the issue of raising the salary of a football player. Now it seems that this issue has been resolved and the contract should be extended, and therefore the conversation will not be about 2025, but 2027. In any case, in my opinion it is right that the club does not arrange its total sale of leaders immediately after a successful season and I do not like it at all when something like this happens and at the same time leave the club's fans in ruins. Yes, anything can happen next season and the results of the players may fall and the price accordingly, but with a successful outcome, the price on the contrary may rise. And the extension of the contract does not mean that the club then closes the possibility of selling the player. No, it's just that the club is more protected from the robbery of the club by a football player and his agent and from richer clubs of buyers.

Transfers in soccer is having many unpredictable and wired history with many things can happen which was not expected right now we have few transfers which are surely going to have big impact on this season's window specially players like Victor Osimhen, Mbappé and Harry Kane are mostly talked players and currently nothing is sure about them as well with most chances we will have few things which are not expected like Victor Osimhen wants to stay at Napoli and management also keen to keep him but if we have Mbappé deal done then surely we can expect big offer for Osimhen and most chances he also can go for the PSG.

Even things are not clear but few top clubs are looking for the quality players and right now we have these three big players which can bring good changes in any team but price tag is surely having his impact as well so let's wait for the possible end of this all.

I personally do not doubt the greatness of the current coach of AS Roma, namely Jose Mourinho. It's just that a great coach will not be enough to make a team perfect in playing on the field. It takes more great players who certainly also have a fairly high price. And actually AS Roma is lacking quality players at the moment. But even so Mourinho has always managed to make good use of the players he has. And can bring out the best performance.

Even in the last 2 seasons Mourinho was able to bring AS Roma to 6th place with mediocre players. For now AS Roma has only gotten 2 new players from the transfer market and both are players with free transfer status. The 2 players are Evan Ndicka who will strengthen the position of central defender and Houssem Aouar who will strengthen the midfielder for AS Roma.

[jostorres]

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.

After winning title in 2022 things are going from bad to worse for the AC Milan as their financial position is going down, and they are not able to have any quality player for the strength of their club even now sell of Tonali is also going to hurt them badly because their midfield and attack both are going more terrible in this season they were lucky enough to have Champions League space due to deduction of points from Juventus but in next season most chances they will be not able to have spot into top six which could be worst for them because few other clubs are doing better changes and having target for the better end.

Now if they want to have better spot and good end of the next season they need to spend good amount, but unstable financial position is not allowing to have anything Maldini already hits out about this problem, but sadly nothing positive is coming and look like same end of story is coming again.

Inter getting Lukaku again would be great for them, can't believe that he still worths that much after reaching 30 years old with that injury, we have seen him not be worth that much anymore. So he should be loaned out, that way Chelsea would not be paying his salary and they would be able to sell him for a lot of money if he plays well without having to risk anything at all.

This works for Chelsea but it also works for Inter, they do not buy a player so it is cheap and they just pay his salary alone so it is like getting a free transfer and if he plays very well then they get a player for cheap, works great for them too. Lukaku as well, he would be happy to play at a club he feels more comfortable with and could show his real talents as well.

Roma performance this season wasn't all that impressive, but I'm confident that it will look fantastic next season because the team has good plans, and when a team has good plans, we should expect good things to happen. Roma put forth a lot of effort this season in both the serie A league and the europa league because they even reached the final stage; they just weren't fortunate enough to win the title.
Greenwood is also a good player, and we all know he can perform well. Because of this, I think Roma will do better the following season than they did this one.

[Velvet78]

Honestly I think Inter shouldn't sign Lukaku back while he is this much bad. He is longer the Lukaku we know. His past performances in the previous seasons with Inter were much better than this. He was like a goal machine together with Lautaro Martinez. But now that performance is long gone. At least this season showed this to us.

I see him performing really well only at his national team. He continues to score many goals there. As long as he doesn't improve his finishing skills again I don't see a move to Inter as sensible for him. But if he can promise to work harder from now on then Inter can give him a second chance.

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.

Losing Spalletti for next season will affect their performance so they are trying to keep their players from leaving.
Now, if it is certain about Osimhen they also need to make several other strategies including finding a replacement for Kim who may go to Bayern because some sources say that he only has to complete a medical before actually becoming a Bayern player. of course this will provide an opening for Napoli especially Kim is one of the players who has always been a mainstay in the previous season.
There are a few names that are currently being linked such as Max Kilman from Wolves or maybe even Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool but as of now there has been no official statement from Napoli and this is still just a rumour.

Milan is making further move to acquire pulisic from chelsea. Milan has been officially sending another bid for ac milan. Milan reportedly sending €20m bid for pulisic. Chelsea has not yet given its answer regarding him. Ac milan has been rumored to leave from chelsea and move to the acmilan since last season.

AC Milan have submitted a new bid worth over €20 million ($21.8m) for Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic, sources told ESPN.

ESPN reported last week that Pulisic had agreed personal terms in principle with Milan, who can offer the United States star the chance to play Champions League football next season.

https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/37963165/ac-milan-make-new-20m+-bid-christian-pulisic-sources

I know that if acmilan wants to overhaul its team. The role of pulisic gonna be a very important for acmilan. Pulisic has very low appearances with chelsea last season.
Even though acmilan's bid is a bit lower compared with what chelsea wants but i thin that the blues can consider it as a good offer from ac milan.

There are only small gap to the price declared by chelsea to get pulisic which was around €24m

[ILuckyGuyI]

Honestly I think the best formula for Lukaku is to sign for a Saudi Arabian or MLS team this summer. A move to Saudi Arabia would be much more profitable for him when we think how big offer he can get from there. But it is like there is no team wishing to sign him in Europe lately.

I have heard some speculations regarding Milan but I don't see any official offer. Maybe they are also having second thoughts of this transfer although they are in need of a striker transfer. If we had a much better performing Lukaku now there would have been no way even for Inter to not sign him on a permanent deal.

Well I don't know, about Lukaku and his phenomenal player, I think things can be done better, but you have to give him a chance so he can do a better job, many begin to criticize him because he doesn't have the same speed, or that it costs him a lot when He has the ball, but it's normal, I've seen that some very good players score goals, Lukaku is a very complete player, in fact a Lukaku in the ranks of a Bayern would do a lot, but today's technical directors want 17-18 year olds With the experience of a 37-38 year old player, that's basically impossible, which is why so many good teams have so many flaws.

For me Lukaku is a player who can take advantage of all his talent for at least 4 more years, he is a player who can solve a game, if they put him on the field for 20 minutes, there are 20 minutes where he will give a lot of war to the opposing team and where It's going to give a lot, that's just the technicians can't see it.

Inter call Lukaku deal with Chelsea ‘a priority’

Yeah I have also heard that Inter want him back. But really? Is he really that much good now to convince Inter to sign him back? I respect everyone's opinion but I don't think so. Because there is a big drop in his performance in the recent times. He can't score as many goals as in the past he did.

Of course Inzaghi has a game plan with two strikers but Lukaku was still able to score 20+ goals a season in the Serie A before. The same duo with Martinez doesn't exist anymore. Inter should be able to find a much better alternative to Lukaku. I don't believe that they are poor now. Their finances should be decent enough to find a better striker right beside Martinez.
