Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[shogun47]

For the centre-forward position Lukaku is still one of the strongest candidates. As the player also wants Inter it is only up to a reasonable deal between Inter and Chelsea.

but from what i see lukaku will have to return to chelsea that's because inter don't want to spend a lot of money buying lukaku for a very high price, and chelsea won't sell for the low price either, chelsea has already sold many of their players that they they paid for a high price and had to sell for a low price, making chelsea not profit, so it makes sense that chelsea asks a high price for lukaku, and I doubt that inter will accept paying a high price, so lukaku will have to come back for chelsea

It was one of the biggest mistakes Chelsea have made in their history that they signed Lukaku back from Inter for a whopping 113 milion euro transfer fee. He came back and didn't make a decent contribution at all. Now Chelsea are desperate to find a formula for him as they don't look like they have any plans for him in the team.

If Chelsea are keen on selling him then they should be aware that they can't sell him for a price near the one they signed him back. His value is 40 million euros and the reasonable thing would be to ask for his current value the most. I think Inter wouldn't find paying 30-40 million euros too expensive. I mean they wouldn't if they don't have plans to spend lots of money on some more important transfers.

But in hindsight does it surprise you that Chelsea paid that whopping amount for Lukaku? Chelsea went nuts on the transfer market, it was as if they lost control and they bought everyone who couldn't hide fast enough. There activity in the market was outrageous and of course the clubs noticed that and knew that they could ask any price literally. I don't know whether their plan is to change that this season, but when Pochettino wants to get rid of so many players, there are also many gaps left that need to be filled again.

Maybe it was Chelsea's fault but the last chance was to sell Lukaku to Inter milan and be signed permanently because Inter milan really needed Lukaku to strengthen his club like the previous season.
I don't fully accuse Chelsea of doing anything wrong but there is no other choice but to sell Lukaku to fix the finances for $40 million it doesn't matter the most important thing is that Inter milan can get Lukaku back for next season.

Until now several official players have been brought in by Milan, such as Luftus Cheek and another Chelsea star Cristian Pulisic, but both of them are actually not positioned as pure attackers or center forwards. I think Milan as a whole will improve next season, the seriousness has been shown by their president Paolo Scaroni who said he would build a Milan squad ready to compete on the Champions League stage next season.

Every team are now getting prepared for next season even milan have added a few number of players and are still looking to add more players, which show how serious and tough this upcoming season will be. With pulisic and loftus cheek joining Rafeal Leao and Giroud the team will be a huge boost for Milan but even with their preparation I don’t think they can be a threat in the champions league.

They want to protect their position within top four of Serie A and if possible, going far in Champions League. They know repeating their success in Champions League to semi final matches is not easy.

Their main focus will be Serie A because they know Roma, Juventus will become stronger. Juventus will not play in either Champions League or Europa League and they will seriously focus on Serie A. Roma will be improved more in their third season with Mourinho. They need to get good results to convince Mourinho signing a new contract after the current contract will expire next summer..

All teams are getting ready for the season, seria A will be tough and we could see a different team emerging as the champion next season. Juventus want to revive their self to becoming the champions once again and they are trying to rebuild their team by discharging some players and bringing in new quality players. Milan, juventus, Napoli, Inter and Roma will all fight for the trophy and with the players they are all adding to their squad so I think it will be a competitive season.

Aware of such threats, AC Milan are trying to get as many new good players as possible.

The current acquisition of players by AC Milan would certainly increase the chances of the club in winning major silverwares in the new season that'll will commence in August.
Loftus-Cheek is a good midfielder that's capable of commanding the midfield on his day while his former Chelsea teamate Christian Pulisic will be adding more attacking options.

[coinlocket$]

Bonucci is out of the team even if he will not leave he will not play anymore.

I also think he lost his status as captain today.

The new captain will be Danilo.

[KTChampions]

Juventus' change of position regarding the Super League "surprisingly" coincided with pressure on them from UEFA for their financial fraud (in which many clubs are involved, but for some reason only Juventus suffered)  
As for the League of Conferences, this is information from July 9 and no one refutes it, I don’t know when the “official” announcement will be, but it’s 99.99% true.

Regardless of what they did in Juventus and the mistakes by other managers in this team I think the punishment for Juventus was not normal at all because this punishment made Juventosto lose the Serie A competition and they even lost the champions league ticket because of losing the points, also the effect of that punishment is not over yet and effect on Juventus and this can change the situation for this team in the next season.

I used to think that Juventus got what they deserved, but now (especially after this deal) I have changed my mind. I am against fraud, but when one club out of many is punished (and the rest of the clubs continue their fraud without problems) and the case ends up in a deal (where UEFA promotes its interests against the Super League), then this is complete lawlessness and not the law. Selective application of the law is lawlessness. And European football continues its glorious tradition of corruption.

Maybe it was Chelsea's fault but the last chance was to sell Lukaku to Inter milan and be signed permanently because Inter milan really needed Lukaku to strengthen his club like the previous season.
I don't fully accuse Chelsea of doing anything wrong but there is no other choice but to sell Lukaku to fix the finances for $40 million it doesn't matter the most important thing is that Inter milan can get Lukaku back for next season.

We don't know what steps Chelsea will take next to earn $40 million now other than having to sell players like Lukaku. Because we also don't have to consider that as a mistake for Chelsea because Chelsea itself is also in need of the best players like Lukaku next season. Moreover, Chelsea is also trying to improve itself which has slumped last season by trying to get some great players to move better next season. So even if Chelsea don't sell Lukaku, it shouldn't be considered a mistake.

Stefano Pioli cannot do much in the transfer market without adequate financial support, squad rejuvenation and regeneration are really needed by Milan next season. Olivier Giroud is no longer young, plus Divock Origi, who doesn't consistently score goals, makes Milan have to think about looking for other pure attacking options. It's also illogical if they want to target the Scudetto and go further in the Champions League if they don't improve their squad, it's difficult to return Milan to its glorious era like a decade ago.

Until now several official players have been brought in by Milan, such as Luftus Cheek and another Chelsea star Cristian Pulisic, but both of them are actually not positioned as pure attackers or center forwards. I think Milan as a whole will improve next season, the seriousness has been shown by their president Paolo Scaroni who said he would build a Milan squad ready to compete on the Champions League stage next season.

Ac milan does have a shortage in their finances, so they really have to reach an agreement with a player that relatively few other teams want to have. Well, I don't think that Ac Milan recruitment is bad, but we have seen that some of the players who were brought in last season were almost entirely unable to make a big contribution to the team. Well I agree with you that Ac milan should look for another centre-forward to be a good option when Giroud is absent. Giroud is too old but his quality is still quite impressive but sometimes the energy wears off and everything so Ac milan has had to sign another centre-forward in this transfer window.

On the one hand, the depth of Ac milan squad is almost like last season, there is no recruitment which is quite great that they did. Pulisic might be a good addition to AC Milan purchase from Chelsea. Apart from that, Pioli also has to see the progress that is being built by their rivals, such as Inter Milan, which are getting stronger when you look at the depth of their squad. So Ac milan must really be ready to enter into the Scudetto title race if Pioli is able to bring in some good quality players in this transfer window.

[Velvet78]

They will need to make up for the striker shortage for Milan. Along with Giroud, a good striker is very important for Milan. Mehdi Taremi may be a good candidate. He had a successful season in Porto and I believe he can be successful in the Italian league as well. I don't know if Taremi will transfer, but Milan definitely needs a striker.

Mehdi Taremi could really be a good option for Milan to think about. His previous season performance at Porto was really impressive. He scored 31 goals in 51 games in total. He is also making an extra contribution with assists - 14 assists in the previous season. These are very impressive stats for a 30-year-old striker.

Taremi's market value is only 18 million euros now but I don't expect Porto to sell him below his release clause worth. It is 60 million euros. I don't think Milan or any other European team would like to pay that much for him. Especially while he is going to be having his last year on his contract next season.

[Uruhara]

Milan not having any good young players up top is definitely a big deal but I also think that it is going to end up with them being a bit different in the end as well. We can't really make sure that it is going to be a tough situation for them just to get a striker, they should be able to do so. I am not saying get a world star level player, but at least get some 25 year old or younger player that can play on the cup games and league games when the ones they have are tried.

Like Giroud is a great player but he is 100 years old, he is not going to be able to play all that many games and if given the chance he could potentially end up retiring as well, so him being their starter is really not a good idea if you ask me.

Well I also feel the same way when I see AC Milan at the moment. In the transfer market this summer AC Milan has managed to bring in 4 players. Namely Marco Sportiello (goalkeeper), Luka Romero (Midfielder), Loftus-Cheek (Midfielder) and most recently Christian Pulisic (Midfielder) who will wear the jersey number 11 previously worn by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. it seems that the midfield is really AC Milan's main concern at the moment. But the hunt for players should not have ended for AC Milan. so they still have the potential to bring in a new striker who can add strength to their front lines.

[lalabotax]

Napoli will not let osimhen leave from the club if its buyer is not wanna paying his release clause. Osimhen's release clause is very high at this moment. Napoli has been also increasing the price for osimhen's release clause.

Yes, that seems to be the case. Napoli actually don't want to let go of their flagship players this season, because at least they have to maintain the title, that's why they set a very high price for Oshimen. Likewise Oshimen, he still feels at home and wants to be in Napoli. SO, PSG's hope of getting Oshimen seems quite small indeed.

PSG is now pushing to get vlahovic. The club must compete with chelsea in signing him at this moment. Buying his release clause won't be a big problem. The only problem is still remain exist if PSG needs also to sell mbappe as soon as possible.

Oh yah, I also just read this news. PSG seems to be moving quickly before the transfer market ends to at least get some plans. This is being done to address various possibilities regarding Mbappe, which until now has not been clear how going forward PSG will stay or leave.

but if Inter doesn't take advantage of having Lukaku to get everything out of him, Inter needs him, even though he is a somewhat veteran player, he has the Experience enough to do and perform in any team, I would say that Lukaku can give good results at least in two more years, if they return him to Chelsea it will be a waste of time, they will not put him in, and apart from that , Chelsea does not have a technical director that guarantees him a great victory , so in this aspect Lukaku for me the best thing is that he stays at Inter.

It is rumored that Inter will still bring Lukaku, who is currently back at Chelsea, but the costs might be burdensome for Inter because reportedly Chelsea have also received an offer from a Saudi club to sign Lukaku. As you said, even though Lukaku is a veteran, but yeah his ability is still worthy of being in Serie A, also playing for Inter is what this guy wants. By the way, now Inter Milan already has another striker, Marcus Thuram who is obtained for free, Inter Milan is really deepening the strength of their squad and I'm happy to see it.

It is no wonder, their interaction with the participation in the UCL was very evident, I really did not know that an Italian team would go so far in the UCL, but we already see how the players can surprise us on many occasions, I think these things are good for Italian soccer and it gives them and their players the confidence that is needed, personally I want to see Italy for the next World Cup, and this league is getting very good, Serie A is taking a great level and As long as they continue to maintain high-level players from all countries, these leagues will continue to strengthen.

The matter of Lukaku, I would like him to finally stay at Inter, I think we are all used to seeing this game here, Chelsea is a team that does not even have a good Management, they are having big problems , I think the first thing they should Fix is that before fighting with the great Lukaku.

For the centre-forward position Lukaku is still one of the strongest candidates. As the player also wants Inter it is only up to a reasonable deal between Inter and Chelsea.

but from what i see lukaku will have to return to chelsea that's because inter don't want to spend a lot of money buying lukaku for a very high price, and chelsea won't sell for the low price either, chelsea has already sold many of their players that they they paid for a high price and had to sell for a low price, making chelsea not profit, so it makes sense that chelsea asks a high price for lukaku, and I doubt that inter will accept paying a high price, so lukaku will have to come back for chelsea

I don't know whether their plan is to change that this season, but when Pochettino wants to get rid of so many players, there are also many gaps left that need to be filled again.

The rally they have with the Belgian is not normal, things with him should be carried out with a different type of negotiation, Inter needs Lukaky, I don't know why Chelsea don't want him, the truth is he's a player who despite everything is complete and he can give much more if he sets his mind to it or they let him play for longer, at this moment the transfers and the transfer window is open, with many plans according to the technical directors of each team , I don't know what Like Lukaku, but a rally like that doesn't make a player feel very good

Inter the lowest of three bidders for Chelsea outcast Lukaku

The Belgian striker seemingly has no intention of playing for the Blues again and is not interested in joining Mauricio Pochettino’s squad for the pre-season preparations, which kick off on Monday next week.

Inter’s latest offer to Chelsea for Lukaku is around €30m plus add-ons, which is still far off Chelsea’s €45m price tag. Juventus have also been linked with the 30-year-old striker in recent weeks, but would need to sell Dusan Vlahovic first, although he could be included in a possible deal with the Blues.

As reported by journalist Ben Jacobs, three clubs are seriously interested in signing Lukaku this summer and Inter have presented the lowest offer of the three to Chelsea, putting the pressure on them to increase their terms in a new bid.

The uncertainty continues, I don't know at what moment things will be able to be decided with respect to this player, and if they continue like this it is very possible that if they do not reach an agreement then Inter will have to leave it there, because there has been so much talk and neither They want to get to nothing , honestly it is something that can cloud anyone's mind, regarding Lukaku he has not yet stated which team to go with or something, but that is Being considered as a Somewhat Uncomfortable Situation.

[X-ray]

Like Giroud is a great player but he is 100 years old, he is not going to be able to play all that many games and if given the chance he could potentially end up retiring as well, so him being their starter is really not a good idea if you ask me.

Giroud should have ever participated in the world war 2 before if his age is 100 years old right now. Even though Giroud is old, he was able to help Ac Milan last season, while Ibra retired after just a few games.
Acmilan is looking for a new striker. That's why the club has been sending an offer for lukaku but sadly lukaku rejected acmilan's offer. Acmilan needs to find a new striker to replace giroud once he will leave from the club. I hear that if andrej kramaric has been offered to replace giroud.
Acmilan has not yet made an agreement with him. Acmilan needs to sign more young talented player instead of use old player that has only a few years remaining to play professional football.
Giroud may leave anytime soon. There's no good striker that can replace his position at this moment.

[AndySt]

Likewise Oshimen, he still feels at home and wants to be in Napoli. SO, PSG's hope of getting Oshimen seems quite small indeed.

Well, it will be very difficult to keep the Napoli title. I would say that the question is about the competitiveness of the club in the fight for a place in the Champions League. Nevertheless, the championship season at Napoli turned out so well and the stars were located in such a favorable combination that it is very difficult to expect that everything will be the same this season. Moreover, the main culprit of the miracle in the person of Luciano Spalletti left the club.

[borovichok]

PSG is interested in Victor Osimhen. I believe the Parisians' chances are slim. Napoli is still equally strong as they were the previous season when they won the scudetto because to their outstanding players and coach.  The only person they will miss is thekr coach Luciano Spalleti, who would depart from the club to spend time with his family. The Napoli team has an excellent circle of players, and their leading goal scorer, Victor Osimhen, has been connected with a number of elite clubs, but Napoli continues to demand a high fee for the Nigerian, which these clubs are unwilling to pay.

PSG has yet to make a move to buy Osimhen from Napoli. It happens when Kylian Mbappe wants to leave PSG, or they are forced to sell Mbappe before his contract expires, PSG is understood to be considering an approach to sign Osimhen as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
Napoli's price for any club that wants to recruit Osimhen is up to about 150 million euros, this is an extremely high level. And only PSG, the only club, can afford to spend that much money on striker Victor Osimhen.

I think it's difficult for Napoli to defend the Scudetto even though they are very ambitious for it. Spalletti's departure is a clear sign that the Partenopei have lost their best instructor.

Osimhen is Napoli's mainstay striker but in my opinion now is the right step for Napoli to sell him because at the moment he still has a fairly high price on the market. It's useless if it is maintained because if Osimhen is unable to maintain his performance next season. I think selling Osimhen was part of an investment move for Napoleon.

Giroud may leave anytime soon. There's no good striker that can replace his position at this moment.

AC Milan and also its city teams have the same pattern by often only using players who are quite old, on average 30 years and over, Rafael Leão is an AC Milan striker who is quite young and his performances are also quite impressive with 15 goals in Serie A in 35 appearances and also contributed 8 assists, will have an even better impact supposing AC Milan do as you say by bringing in a younger striker than signing Romelu Lukaku whose best form may only be a few seasons and after that, they have to start looking for a replacement otherwise it will seriously affect the team's performance as it often has.
At the moment they have spent around 36 million euros to sign two players and because AC Milan rarely spends more than 100 million euros it is very likely that Milan will only sign one more player, and we have to wait and see who they will bring in and in what position.

[TheGreatPython]

Moreover, the main culprit of the miracle in the person of Luciano Spalletti left the club.

Now it's all depend on Napoli how they will perform in coming season, specially after exit of their champion coach Luciano Spallett and having new coach Rudi Garcia who is coming from Saudi League and have big expectations about future.

But, here if they are able to keep their few big players then surely things could be into their favour because they need same momentum which was working in last season, and they give good performance and having amazing win right now situation is not clear about few players but as things are going most chances they will be able to keep their best players.

Currently, few things are pending, but hopefully all will be clear in coming days and things will be also settled who is going to compete for the title in coming season.

[dezoel]

They will need to make up for the striker shortage for Milan. Along with Giroud, a good striker is very important for Milan. Mehdi Taremi may be a good candidate. He had a successful season in Porto and I believe he can be successful in the Italian league as well. I don't know if Taremi will transfer, but Milan definitely needs a striker.

Mehdi Taremi could really be a good option for Milan to think about. His previous season performance at Porto was really impressive. He scored 31 goals in 51 games in total. He is also making an extra contribution with assists - 14 assists in the previous season. These are very impressive stats for a 30-year-old striker.

Taremi's market value is only 18 million euros now but I don't expect Porto to sell him below his release clause worth. It is 60 million euros. I don't think Milan or any other European team would like to pay that much for him. Especially while he is going to be having his last year on his contract next season.

Relatively this was going to be good deal for the AC Milan which are looking for the strength into their attack but right now situation is looking not good for them because few hours ago we have reports about his possible move to Manchester United as Erik ten Haq have good intention of bringing goal machine like this, so his agent is also already in England for the possible deal which is going to complete in coming days even things are favorable as 30 years old Mehdi Taremi could be Manchester United player in coming days

Porto is surely insisting about their demanded amount but Manchester United finances will be not allowing them to spent amount like this but still all things favoring for this deal could be completed, and he will join EPL instead of Serie A as they are also in not good shape for spending amount like we are having from English clubs for the strength of their squads.
