Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[babo]

Despite the fact that Victor Osimhen doesn't have a certain release clause in his current contract with the club, Napoli still wants to make over 150 million Euros should the Nigerian striker leave the the club this summer transfer window.
The club's reluctancy not to let the player leave without a huge transfer fee is because of the player's current striking power. It'll be difficult to find his replacement if he leaves now so they need a fee that can give them the financial strength to get a replacement

I don't know if it's worth 150 million, but 100 definitely is
He's a goal machine, have you seen how many goals he scored!? He's also talented and quite young
In my opinion it's a great investment, I would like Napoli to keep it but I don't think it's possible

Napoli is currently open with offers coming in from other clubs interested in bringing in Osimhen. It's just that Napoli, who really don't want to lose their best striker, certainly don't want to sell Osimhen at a low price. Even some time ago Napoli priced at 150 Million Euros. but then from the news I just read it turns out that Napoli has again raised the price of Osimhen's transfer to 160 million euros (up 10 million euros).

And in fact the high transfer price is also a strategy played by Napoli, which is very clear that Napoli is not ready to lost Osimhen. Even the President of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has also confirmed this. That high price is expected to make enthusiasts withdraw from hunting.
And it seems this way has worked. Because until now no one dared to offer close to that price.

I hadn't thought of it in those terms
so you say it's a strategy for not selling it but remaining on the market
it might make sense and I hadn't thought of this kind of complex strategies, it fits
thank you for the tip

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.

After winning title in 21/22 Milan were never been at their best and this all happen just because of their finances which are currently the biggest issue and if they are not going to spend now then surely in next season 23/24 things could be worst for then as now we have few teams with good changes and better players can bring them down from top four which could be surely disaster for them incoming years, but their performance in Champions League was also good which is surely creating good atmosphere for them and as promise by Milan president if they spend some good funds and able to bring few good players then surely we can expect good fight again in nest season right now we have Inter Milan, Juventus, Napoli and AS Roma as toppers but can they join them it's surely needing good spending from them in next few weeks.

If you say that strategy is not a strategy because apart from Napoli wanting to keep Osimhen Napoli also wants to get a good opportunity to be able to make a profit by selling Osimhen at the highest price.
If it weren't for wanting a high price, it would be impossible for Napoli to say the transfer price of Osimhen and of course from the start they had refused the offer, not increasing the selling price of Osimhen.
But this is a good step taken by Napoli because that way when someone wants to pay Osimhen Napoli can have an advantage but if no one can afford to buy Osimhen's price then Napoli still have attacking players who have given them enough wins.

Juventus have lost Di Maria and Cuadrado at the same time. They need a transfer to the right wing immediately because they don't have any right winger left who can secure this position with a good performance. Weah and Soule are the options left in the team. However I don't see anyone's name in the news as a transfer rumour into this position lately.

Juventus look rather focused on bringing a centre-forward and central midfielder these days. Lukaku and En-Nesyri are the names rumoured. But Lukaku would prefer Inter in case both teams make a reasonable offer. For the central midfielder role they look likely to sign Franck Kessie.

This makes me think that Vlahovic and Pogba might be the names leaving this summer.

[EarnOnVictor]

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 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 don't care so much about what is transpiring between Mbappe and PSG, the two of them will surely do well whether or not they depart. Still, the only thing I could think about for a good player whose time has not lapsed is a disagreement about some benefits, they might not let this go public but it happens.

Now, my main concern is for the career of the young lad called Victor Osimhen, I don't want the career of this guy to be badly affected by the wrong choice of club. PSG could be a very wrong choice for him, he should learn about the past heroes that chose it all because of the money, they use you and dumb you like nobody. They've also drastically reduced their offer of €150 million in June to the average of €120 million as media reports varied values.

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.

your statement seems to contradict what you say yourself. you doubt Napoli can't defend the Scudetto but you think selling Osimhen is the right move? lol
Are you aware that Napoli needs Osimhen to keep holding the Scudetto because without Osimhen there are no reliable players even though this requires solid players from all players but Napoli only has Osimhen to help win the Scudetto title in the summer.
there is little hope for Napoli even though Spalletti left this team but if the new coach is able to provide almost the same strategy I am sure Napoli can still dominate Serie A.

Competition will of course look quite tight this season because many clubs might be ready to compete for the scudetto and of course if Napoli sells Osimhen to PSG at a very high price it is clearly profitable for Napoli, at least Napoli can buy some players who have good potential for playing this season, but most of the news says that Osimhen still wants to stay at Napoli.

I don't know if PSG will buy Osimhen from Napoli if yes of course it can replace Messi who has left PSG, I'm sure with the quality of the good front line PSG certainly has the potential to compete in the UCL later, PSG has a lot of money of course he can buy the players they want at high prices even as done by Madrid who can afford to buy players at high prices.

#CardinaleOut has been trending on twitter since he has been making some controversial decisions.

The first thing is if he was selling so many best players owned by acmilan like frattesi and marcus thuram. Even though acmilan was able buying two new players from chelsea but whole of milan fans are not feeling happy with it.
All of fans saw frattesi and marcus thuram as important players owned by the club last season. That's why they didn't happy to see marcus and frattesi joined in intermilan as a rival for acmilan.

Cardinale has put a lot of money into the alpine team while AC Milan is experiencing financial issues when it comes to buying a new player.. So many fans were surrounding him to leave from acmilan.

I heard that if PIF already linked to be a new investor for acmilan. I can't even agree why cardinale shall leave from the club. He doesn't even care with his club.

We can see AC Milan current transfers, AC Milan supporters assess Milan's current transfers as very bad, because the players brought in are players who don't match the expectations of supporters. The dismissal of Paolo Maldini was also a cause, because Maldini is a legend who is highly respected by supporters and was fired for the reason that Milan failed to sell their expensive players such as Donnarumma & Chalhanoglu in the past. Hopefully Arab investors actually acquire AC Milan, maybe we can see AC Milan's glory in Serie-A & UCL.

Milan will have to invest in the team if they want to perform better. Otherwise, there are a lot of other clubs who are currently bringing in better players. They are not going to be able to compete against those clubs who are investing. And if we also see the performance of Milan, I think we can certainly say that they are not performing consistently. Obviously, we can say that this is happening because they are not investing properly. You can only go so far with all-generation players being on the attacking line. And obviously, the fund is a problem for them. But they will have to find a way to properly invest in the team.

I don't agree with people who think that Osimhen should be sold by Napoli right away if he gets an offer this summer. If he had 1 year left to go at Napoli then I would have definitely supported the idea of selling him. Because Osimhen might not have been willing to extend his contract more so Napoli would have faced the danger of losing him for free.

But he still has 2 years to go now. Napoli can make a really good use of him for another season and then they had better think of what they will do with him. They would try to extend his contract by offering attracting contract conditions. If he doesn't accept then they would offer him to teams.

Besides Napoli are already working on signing a contract extension with him. He earns only an amount between €4-5m per year now which is like a joke. I've heard that he wants €7m from Napoli to have an agreement. I don't have much doubt they would give him that much. They aim to put €160m release clause onto his new contract too.

but I really didn't understand much
if it is a strategy to try to sell it does not seem correct to me
I thought the strategy was to ask for too much money, but that money for PSG isn't much
at least, in my opinion, they would be willing to spend it, in my opinion

If Ac Milan does not make significant changes to the squad in this transfer window, then it is certain that they will find it very difficult to compete with Team Napoli, Juventus, Inter Milan and As Roma next season. Even though they have a satisfying history, it will mean nothing if they don't improve to build a squad and rejuvenate it. The majority of the players they currently have are very unsupportive to step up and challenge other team candidates in the Champions League.

The arrival of Cristian Pulisic from Chelsea can at least add options for Stefano Pioli to rotate players in the wing midfield sector. But they actually have to make new recruits on the front lines considering that Giroud is no longer at his best level of play, naturally I think because of the age factor his performance has decreased. If Milan revamps their attack line, they could be included in the list of favorites to win the Scudetto.

The aspirations of Milan to advance and develop a more robust long term strategy for their performance in the Champions League are legitimate. Milan would improve their prospects of winning the Champions League and solidify their place in the top four of the Serie A standings if they gave priority to building a team that can successfully compete at the highest level of European football. Paolo scaroni assertion has merit because Milan has a more distinguished Champion League history than other Serie A clubs. Milan must end its pattern of humiliation and underachievement in the match especially in light of their difficulties even in the group stages.
Milan can regain their position as a footballing force to be reckoned with in Europe with a well crafted strategy and investments in crucial areas inspiring new optimism and enthusiasm among their devoted following.

 Ac Milan have added another player to their squad from Chelsea I'm talking about Christian Pulisic. A player who many thought would be the next Hazard at Chelsea but couldn't live up to expectation, to me he wasn't a player with skills or speed, he's just a normal player and I don't know where he could fit in.
 Heading to Italy I think he could play out his best and even become a key players depending on how the coach of the AC Milan side (Stefano Pioli) uses him. The Italian Seria A is a very tough league, tougher than English premier league so I'd expect him (Christian Pulisic) to be tougher come next season and even improve much better.

I believe it can be a little more successful in Serie A because it is not as difficult as the Premier league. Serie A is of course a difficult league, but Milan is one of the important teams in this league and Pulisic, who can play in many positions, can achieve great success in this team.

Yeah Serie A isn't difficult as the Premier League because if we take a look with the Champions League when the final matches were always dominated with Premier League's team. But what I like in Serie A is the unpredictable performance of the team, sometime AC Milan become a winner, but sometime they're not able to reach top 3 etc. It's not like Premier League when there's a team is very tough, almost no team can beat them, but it's not like Bundesliga where Bayern Munich looks impossible to not win.

The Bundesliga has a completely different league situation. Only Bayern Munich are champions in the league. This year, Borussia Dortmund came very close to the championship, but when they lost points in the last match, Bayern won the championship again. Bayern won't be this bad next year. This year was an opportunity for Dortmund. Anyway, we need to talk about the Italian league and Serie A. I think Milan will act with a stronger squad after Pulisic transfer. The chances of them winning the championship next year are still very strong.

Pulisic has been performing worst last season with chelsea. Im feeling doubt if he will able to go all in when he will be playing for acmilan together with RLC. Pulisic has become a new recruitment from chelsea. His performance last season was very disappointed for all of chelsea fans.
That's the reason why the club was trying to replace him with a better player.
Acmilan may take a big risk by signed a bad player from chelsea. That's based from his recent performance with chealsea but i hope he can play differently in acmilan.
I would like to see him played like when he was participated in the world cup.

Heading to Italy I think he could play out his best and even become a key players depending on how the coach of the AC Milan side (Stefano Pioli) uses him. The Italian Seria A is a very tough league, tougher than English premier league so I'd expect him (Christian Pulisic) to be tougher come next season and even improve much better.

It's not yet clear what position will be given by pioli for him. Why are you calling serie as a tougher competition compared with EPL. The fact that if EPL was the best league in the world.
The club from EPL was consistently winning UCL competed with la liga. I can't agree to call that serie a is tougher compared with EPL

So true. But last season I think the European football competition was really surprised by the clubs from Serie A who made it to the finals in several competitions. For example, Roma, who made it to the final level in the Europa League, Inter Milan, who also made it to the final level in the UCL. and then Fiorentina, which I didn't expect to reach the final stage in the Europa Conference League. But unfortunately the three of them failed to win the Finals and only managed to get second place. but I think the achievement is quite surprising. because we know that in terms of the quality of the players from Serie A there are not too many players who have high prices. Clubs in Serie A shop for players which is quite cheap when compared to the shopping prices of Premier League clubs. but the clubs from Serie A can always make good use of the players they bring in. and even the price of players bought cheaply can be expensive in the next season.

@Uruhara Pulisic is a very talented player and he was not used well at Chelsea however at Milan we can hope that he’ll be given more opportunities to perform and thus I feel that he’ll definitely improve the team. Furthermore last year the Italian team’s improved way beyond expectations and this year I believe that they’ll continue to push the other league team’s even further because they’ll be hurting from their loss that they suffered last season.
