Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

After agreeing to not participate in the competition Europa, then the one who will replace Juventus position maybe it is Fiorentina, because in the previous standings Serie A they position right under Juventus. But currently Fiorentina haven't made any new signings player for next season, although there are many loan players who have returned to fiorentina, but I think they should at least sign some players again.

Juventus continues to experience setbacks after case after case they receive now the sanction not to appear in Europe next season is a frightening image. Because in terms of performance it means that they will experience big losses so they will sell several players and try to choose players with cheaper rates.
Fiorentina is still far from expectations, but with what happened to Juventus, of course, Fiorentina has 1 gap that they must be able to maximize properly.

I am not sure whether Juventus Turin has other options to raise funds since they are a publicly listed company, but the future doesn't look bright for them if they also have to fear sanctions or penalties from the UEFA as once the investigation process gets start against them again, it is highly likely that they get a penalty again since the highest court has already made a ruling against them. I don't see a reasonable chance for them to defend themselves against any allegations brought forward by the UEFA. Refuting accusations is no options anymore, it is probably only about admitting everything and negotiating with the UEFA then.

Fiorentina intends to let amrabat leave from the club. There are so many news talked about this recently. It's likely that if amrabat gonna move from fiorentina to the manchester united. It seems like that fiorentina gonna be taken to replace juventus's position in the conference league soon.

https://strettynews.com/2023/07/08/fiorentina-make-sofyan-amrabat-decision/

Even skynews has been also reporting that if MU is now seeking amrabat at new defender for the club. The talks is still ongoing but i saw that if fiorentina has a requirement for united before amrabat will go to the united.
United itself is still struggling with its financial. United doesn't have a lot of budget to buy the new player. MU needs to sell free/tominay first before the club will able to sign amrabat from fiorentina.

I hope that MU will able to secure him as soon as possible.

Maybe you mean Europa Conference League, yeah it is the 3rd competition and the level is under UEFA Europa League, Fiorentina are not worried because their competitors are still at the same level I'm sure they can compete. We know that almost all clubs in Serie A are having financial problems even top clubs like Inter, Juventus and others are not spared from the same problem so there's no need to be surprised if their activity in the transfer window is very low, instead of bringing in new players they prefer to release several players for the club needs during the season.

Fiorentina can get additional income through the Europa Conference League if able to reach round of 16 or even to the finals like last season, Fiorentina still uses the same squad as in the last final so new players are not really needed. This season Fiorentina's income in the transfer window is €8.7 million and without spending.

Juventus captain Leonardo Bonucci has 1 year remaining contract but there was no attempts from Juventus they will extended his contract and currently he was thinking some offers which come to him such as from Newcastle and Arabian clubs that it says some of Arabian clubs were interested to used his service but it wasn't mentioned which club who want him and i think it's time for Bonucci to thinking his future because apparently Juventus aren't willing to give him contract extension because Juventus feel his performance was decline and last season Bonucci only played 16 times at Serie A i think it's clear he didn't earn trust from Allegri and moved to other clubs would be good for him especially Arabian clubs because these teams possibly will offering huge money to him

I am not entirely sure if he would be though, he is just way too old at this point and he is not as famous as these other players and not talented enough for those clubs not to be finding anyone else. Arabian clubs could find someone who is more talented, and probably at least as famous as him as well. The reason why they are paying so much money for these famous players is to get the league to be watched more and I believe that he would not help them on that front.

To be fair he could still find some place in some lower level Italian club though, like whoever is the new promoted club, he could still play there if he wants to, or basically he could simply retire, he made millions of euros, more than 99% of the population would make, he can retire very easily now.

For now Milan have completed Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic transfers. By the way Landon Donovan criticized Pulisic about not choosing the MLS instead. However I don't think it would have been a sensible move for him. Because Pulisic is still 24 years old and he can play European football for long years instead. He is a decent player as well so there is no meaning in going to the MLS.

Agree, it makes sense to go to MLS teams just to make money or live somewhere else. I think it is no different than Arabian teams. You can go to these teams to earn money in the last years of your career, but it wouldn't make much sense to be here at a young age. Prevents you from progressing in your career

I agree with you on this. I also think that young football players should continue to play football in the top leagues to showcase their talents. However, it is definitely a better option for them to go to Arab teams or MLS when they get older to make more money and play safe football in a less competitive league.

It is an undeniable fact that Milan really need a striker right now. They can't move on with Giroud and Origi anymore as none of them would be reliable for bigger successes. Giroud has been better than Origi at least but still he is getting too old and he might not be consistent anymore. Origi is also even far away from his performance at Liverpool. Lukaku was on Milan's agenda but they must have given up their attempts for him after hearing that his priority is joining back Inter.

Ibrahimovic also left football at the end of last season. He didn't play as well as Origi or Giroud recently, but he was in the squad and was an effective football player. Italian teams really have good success with older players. However, they may encounter such problems from time to time.

Bonucci is loyal to the Juventus club. However, Juventus have no interest in Bonucci after next season. This is because they will not want to waste money by keeping a 38/39-year-old player in the squad. But I don't think Bonucci will retire unless Juventus keep Bonucci in the squad. Bonucci is loyal but needs money. And clubs in Saudi Arabia pay huge wages to star players. And so I think he will sign a two-year contract with a club in Saudi Arabia next season. And then he will decide to retire. This is completely my personal opinion.

They also write that Bonucci can continue his career with Pirlo in Sampdoria. This is a really great defender who has done a lot for Juventus, but in the last season it was already clear that injuries do not spare him and it is right that Alegre focuses on young players. And Bonucci's salary, which is about 12 million euros, also plays an important role in this decision.

Even though he has only one season left on his contract, Bonucci seems quite loyal to Juventus. In fact, he could move from Juventus because New Castle and the club from the Saudi Arabia wanted to sign Bonucci. However, Bonucci chose to stay at Juventus until the end of his contract. If Bonucci doesn't get a contract extension from Juventus, he might choose to retire at the end of the season, who knows? Because loyalty to the club can make players choose to retire rather than move if they don't get a contract extension at this age.

There are players who don't follow the money, like Buffon recently refused to go to Saudi Arabia. It seems that money is not the issue for such players, Bonucci really spent a lot of time at Juventus and probably wants to stay here as long as possible.

It is just unbelievable that Juventus have been kicked out of Europe. It is due to problems related to financial fair-play. I thought it would have been limited to only the 10-points punishment in the league. But the problems have got bigger for them by this news. However they were going to join the Europa Conference League so this isn't a huge loss for Juventus I think. But if that happened for the Champions League spot then it would have been a big hit to them of course.

Financial fair-play is clearly detrimental to Juventus in the next season because they will not play in the Champions League due to the mistakes they made and fortunately Juventus do not get much heavier sanctions because the Italian football federation only gives a 10 point deduction sanction. If Juventus do not receive a point deduction sanction then it is possible to finish in third or fourth place then Juventus will automatically play in the Champions League next season.

Juventus will start off with a clean slate from now on. Allegri is still here though but maybe things might get better in time. In the end they have a really good history with Allegri hence there is always a chance to do better than this with him.

Next season will be the starting point for Juventus to start again and I believe Allegri will try to do better with the combination of new players they have acquired in the transfer market. Juventus has a long history in Serie A and they are one of the best clubs ever, so a slight setback is the way to regain dominance in the League.

[hahay]

I got rumors about Bonucci being the target of a player who should be brought in to Sampdoria, after Sampdoria appointed Pirlo as Sampdoria's head coach. In these rumors, that Pirlo wants to bring in Bonucci. But yes, i personally not sure that Bonucci will be able to accept the offer because after all, Sampdoria next season will also only play in Serie B because they were relegated last season. But apart from these factors, if i consider Bonucci's old age, then at least Bonucci still deserves to play in Serie B with Sampdoria. But indeed, if Bonucci chooses to stay at Juventus for one more season, then perhaps it will be his last at Juventus. Due to the fact, Bonucci's remaining contract at Juventus only has one more season left. Thus, it might be better if Bonucci chooses to retire when his contract expires at Juventus at the end of next season.

My friend, Bonucci is at a career crossroads. I disagree. Although his Serie A playtime has reduced significantly (down to 16 games last season) I don't think it's a performance decline. Allegri's approach and team dynamic may be involved. Have you considered Allegri's penchant for team reshuffles? You think Arabian clubs may make him money. My query: Will money trump competition? He is Juventus' captain - will he simply relinquish that honor? Newcastle might be smart. A legend like him could strengthen their backline and mentor younger players. At this point in his career, could he handle the Premier League's fast pace?

Probably not many of the younger generation know about Bonucci now. Yes, he's a star of the old days, but it's hard to talk about his ability now. I remember accidentally seeing Frank Ribery in one of the games. It was a shock for me. The times of these players are over. Now there are new stars who have to play.

Juventus is increasingly losing their place in Serie A as the team with the most Serie A trophy winners. Massimiliano Allegri's troops are getting further away from the chance to lift the trophy next season. In fact, several new names such as Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria, etc. who enter the Juventus squad last season have not been able to help restore Juventus' identity in Serie A, especially

Yes everyone will go to the Saudi Pro League or MLS League at some point but not right now. Pulisic and other players of his age still need validation to prove their quality and even become the best players before they land in a league that is not yet competitive. Serie A, EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga and Liague 1 are great places to prove yourself. Maybe at the end of a career it would not be wrong to choose a league that is under five, in this case the MLS or the Saudi Pro League to make money.

I think Milan have a special relationship with Chelsea in buying and selling players, the two Chelsea players Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek who landed there prove that. This means that there will be at least four former Chelsea players who will play for Milan next season, and the presence of these two new players will be able to add to Milan's power on the Champions League stage.

I actually think that the Saudi clubs can still find him very useful. But the thing is he might have to take a lot less celery compared to what others are getting. I don’t think he will be happy in the Saudi league if he is going to compare himself with Ronaldo or Benzema. I don’t think Juventas are going to extend his contract.

But if he wants to continue playing in the Italian league, I agree with @tygeade that he can definitely find a lower-level Italian club and also perform well in that said club. But it will be hard for him to find a top-level/S-tier club. Even if he does, he is going to be a rotation player at best.

Last season maybe Juventus failed but next season it is not certain that it will fail and as we can see, Allegri has tried to find new players with good quality to welcome next season by looking even better as before.
I'm sure that next season Juventus will take its former glory again and prove to all those who doubt Juventus that they can get a place in the Serie A league.

I think it is better for Bonucci to stay at Juventus because after all he is a good veteran who can be a good example for other young players at Juventus. Even if he doesn't get too much game time at Juventus that's not a problem, surely he understands the situation now because he is not young anymore and Allegri will definitely want a fresher player for the centre-back position. On the other hand, maybe Pirlo is only offering to go to Sampdoria and he won't force Bonucci even if he doesn't want to and indeed in Serie B it might even add to the burden for Bonucci when he is approaching retirement age.

Now it should not only focus on Allegri but all parties, especially their management, must be more disciplined and adhere to the rules again because the punishment this season is like a blow to the players who are struggling to get points amid the criticism that continues to come to them.
Juventus officials must appreciate this more because it is indeed unfortunate when they work hard in the midst of many disasters such as a storm of injuries to the players but they continue to do well but towards the end they actually have to experience another bitter reality for the reduction of points.

Allegri is still able and the current players are actually still able if they reflect on last season, it's just that they still have to be disciplined and the fitness of the players must also be maintained so that later they don't get the same problems as this season.

Inter Milan recaptured their glory days under the leadership of their charismatic coach and showed remarkable teamwork and resilience against Juventus for the next season. Their journey to the finals was nothing short of thrilling to fans worldwide but there was no stopping their performance after that. Romelu Lukaku will be able to play in the second leg against Juventus after being released from ban, although Inter Milan are good for next season. The president of the Italian Football Federation himself lifted the ban against him.

Inter's performance was quite bad during the early till middle of season but everything changed once lautaro has got its rythm with lukaku. The combination between those players have been successfully bringing intermilan to the final of UCL but it was failed in getting UCL trophy against manchester city. Even intermilan's president was not expecting it to happen with intermilan. The result from last season was quite good for intermilan. Inter was still able going to home with 1 trophy from copa italia.

Although Inter Milan's performances were not consistent at the start of the season, the team gradually stabilized. And we see excellent performance from the team. The team qualified for the Champions League final and finished third in the Serie A table. Martinez and Lukaku's performances were excellent. Inter Milan's attack was very strong. But their defence was weak. They conceded 42 goals in 38 Serie A matches. Inter Milan could not dominate Serie A because of the weak defence. And so if Inter Milan wants to win the Serie A title next season, the first thing they need to do is strengthen their defence.

It was a rocky path for them but they passed it with flying colors. They didn't start well and they also had some issues to preserve consistency as soon as they performed well and tried to carry the performance over to the next game. But as the end of the season got closer, the game became very consistent actually and they had a well-balanced strategy and also increased their performance in their attacking game. They knew that they could score any time as Martinez and the other striker became so reliable. I remember when I didn't like to watch them a lot because they were so passive and defensive, but that changed quite a lot over the last year and hopefully they'll continue with it. 

At the end of the season, the Inter Milan team was quite stable as a team. Despite not winning the Champions League or the Serie A title, Inter Milan was the most consistent team in Serie A at the end of the season. And so they don't need much change within the team. Too many changes could make Inter Milan's performances erratic again. Inter Milan should keep the attack and midfield unchanged. and buying experienced defenders to bolster the defence. Only then, I believe that this team will be able to perform well from the beginning of the next season.

It is not always about revolutionary changes and substituting a dozen of players or rejuvenate the squad heavily, but the bigger problem is when very important players leave the club, players who who contributed the majority to the overall game and in the case of Inter we still need to see how many players intend to leave the club and who is going to stay. Many will say that it is never only one player who can be more important than the whole team and that is right, but we have seen players leave a club and at the same time leave a gap that the club couldn't close in the season afterwards. I am not aware of the number of players who are going to leave Inter and who really need to be replaced, but for now I think it is alright for them.

I totally agree with you on your stance that Leonardo Bonucci should remain at Juventus. The Italian veteran's time as a professional footballer is nearing the end and so it'll be better for him to remain at Juventus and help in shaping the younger defenders at the club in to becoming great defenders like him in the future.
He might not be getting the playing time he wants but staying where he is loved and respected at this time of his career is the best he can do for himself right now
