Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[HajiBagi]

Vlahovic deal is expected to be announced by PSG in the near future. They must be finishing the agreement and signing behind the scenes. This will push Juventus to sign a new striker to fill his place. That striker is probably going to be Lukaku for now. I assume Allegri would like to continue to adopt a formation with two strikers after he comes.

Lukaku is used to playing like that and he would be more useful in that way. He can play beside Milik mostly and sometimes with Kean as well. Inter officials got very angry after hearing about his negotiating with Juventus for more money. Inter is just a dream for Lukaku from now on.

There is no any other team Lukaku love than inter Milan  even when he is wrong, Inter Milan should sign Lukaku since they are still his top choice over all other clubs. I have heard whispers, though, that Juventus won't want to buy Lukaku once more and that he has sent an apology to Inter Milan because he is aware of the error of his ways. I think Inter Milan genuinely likes him and wants to buy him because of his performance, but because he also showed up and caused trouble, they didn't like him as much as they had in the past.

Inter Milan and Juventus should act quickly to sign Lukaku before they both lose him, even though we've all made mistakes and I believe Lukaku won't do what he did again. Juventus is also losing one of their best players, and Lukaku is very qualified to play the position.

Ac milen went so crazy in the summer transfer season. The club has been recruiting 5 players in total and those players are

RLC
Pulisic
Luka romero
Marco sportielo
Tijjani

Stefani pioli's club is not stopping yet in buying the new player. There are some new names that may become the next players to be recruited by ac milan very soon. The names of those players are arnaut danjuma and yunus.

Those players were playing on midfielder and forward. I think that acmilan will be coming with a new squad next season. The club is trying so hard in building the club again since it was not getting satisfied result last season. Stefani pioli will be starting his pre season with ac milan very soon.

AC Milan has learn from their mistakes and that's why they attempts to bought plenty of players to strengthen their squad and the arrival of Pulisic is really benefited for AC Milan because since he was announced as Milan player his jersey sales have increased rapidly so from the commercial side buy Pulisic is really have good impact for Milan financial and today Milan will starting their pre season tour against Serie D team Lumezzane and most of Milan fans were hoping Pulisic will make his debut on that match

Milan now still focusing to finished Samuel Chukwueze transfer from Villarreal and the negotiation is still ongoing even reported Milan will immediately to bid 25 millions for this player and they are very confident Villarreal will accept this bid and soon the transfer will be finished and it say if Villarreal agree with 25 millions then Milan have a plan to give long duration contract to Samuel Chukwueze for 5 years duration until 2028 and he will be 5th recruitment for Milan this summer

It seems Buffon is going to get retired soon this season and in a few days or he can just play for one other season because this legendary goalkeeper is still under contract with Parma where he starting on career but it he also got good offers from Saudi teams and he didn't pay attention to these offers. Currently, he is on vacation with his family from the 7th of July but there is a chance to see him getting retired after he comes back.

[masulum]

Pulisic has become a profitable player for AC Milan, because his arrival has succeeded in increasing AC Milan's jersey sales. It is even estimated that AC Milan can get big profits in 2023. The following is the data released by sempremilan.com

➤ +266% increase in sales compared to the previous day

➤ American buyers represented 43% of all sales (up from 9%)

➤ 90% of the customised ‘Pulisic’ shirts were sold in the US

➤ Pulisic jerseys represented 45% of all shirts sold since the announcement

From a business perspective, of course, this is a good thing to improve AC Milan's finances. However, we also need to see if Pulisic can adapt to Pioli's strategy and improve AC Milan's 2023/24 standings too. Well, 5 new players come so far, but some players are under expectations Milan fans, because they are considered below the level they should be brought in. Pioli must prove if this transfer will not disappoint fans.

Currently, Buffon is 45 years old and you could say he is the oldest goalkeeper to defend a team in European competition. Maybe it's time for Buffon to retire, especially at that age he won't be able to provide significant performance for the team he defends. I think Parma must also be aware of looking for a new, younger goalkeeper to start next season's competition and must not continue to depend on the big name Buffon.

But if Buffon does the professional thing by complying with his contract of course he can do nothing but finish it. Despite the offer from the saudi league team, I think he should start taking care of his health and maybe not chasing money so much anymore, enjoying moments with family is the most important thing nowadays for an aging Buffon.

Anyway, Buffon is a player who has great loyalty or perhaps boundless loyalty to the teams that Buffon has been a part of. Like Parma and also Juventus, I'm very happy that there are great players like Buffon because the truth is, it's very rare that there are players with the loyalty that Buffon has. Also, if in the near future Buffon chooses to retire then I think that's fine too, despite the fact that Buffon is still under contract. Because I am sure, Parma will also respect Buffon's decision and will not force him to continue playing at a very old age.

This is indeed becoming weird as he will still be playing after his 46th birthday.

I have seen a couple of players like Ibrahimovic and I am aware that he is a goalkeeper, but it sounds like a joke when you think about someone playing professionally at an age that is closer to 50 years than it is to 40 years. Though the recent news was that he rejected the offer from Saudi Arabia and that is why he might also soon announce the end of his career.

What Spalletti did with Napoli last season is so great that many managers who're well respected would beg to achieve so it can hugely count to their Curriculum Vitae.
I don't think Rudi Garcia can replicate that same feat even when there's every possiblity that he can it. Napoli and Victor Osimhen must decide now on the player's future so he can decide wether to remain at the club or move on

It took years for Luciano Spalleti to achieve the fantastic results for Napoli, and lifting the scudetto with Napoli after 33 years without a domestic title was a very memorable occasion for them. Luciano Spalleti resigned from his role as Napoli's head coach, but he did so for personal reasons. When it comes to the incoming boss, Rudi Garcia, he will undoubtedly fall short of the outgoing manager's expectations. However, I believe that if Rudi Garcia is given more time than Luciano Spalleti, he will make good use of his position and provide solid results for the club and the supporters.

Maybe Rudi Garcia will do better than Spalletti. However, time must be given for this. It is highly unlikely that Rudi Garcia will do something extraordinary next season and Napoli will win the title again. Because Rudi Garcia is not yet familiar with this team. And more importantly, several of Napoli's star players have left the team. The effect can certainly be seen in Napoli's performance. The likelihood of consistently good performances from Napoli next season is slim. Juventus or Inter Milan will probably dominate Serie A next season.

It's not right for me to talk before the season starts. They said similar things about Naples last year. Napoli won the league by a clear point margin. We can see a similar picture this year. It will be announced a few weeks after the start of the league. I think Napoli will perform well again.

The season will start in a few weeks, but we can see Napoli's performance with their new coach when they face a friendly match against Anaune Val di non, friendly matches are usually used by coaches to find the best strategy for their team, after against Anaune, Napoli will face SPAL, even though in my opinion those two are easy matches for them but if the strategy used by the new Napoli coach is not right, the opponents will take advantage of these weaknesses to face Napoli in the future.  the new coach of Napoli really feels a heavy burden, everyone will not stop comparing him to the old coach if it turns out that Napoli's performance is lousy.

I've been hearing that some fans, and especially the ultras at Inter Milan, are not happy with Cuadrado now that he has joined the club. Maybe that has something to do with the time he played for Juventus against Inter Milan and the fans were unhappy about this player because of that.

Those fans were so crazy. They criticized Lukaku and called him a traitor, and now they're blaming Cuadrado because they don't like him. My guess if inter fans dislike him caused by he has ever played for juventus. Inter fans don't like juventus's fans. I think this is the sense of reason to dislike him. I will wait who's gonna be get another hate from inter fans soon. It looks so funny to see that. The club needs to follow what already wanted by those fans. I kinda feel that if those fans were out of their bounds.

the fans are strange people, some, people who hate other people, people who get into fights in stadiums
I support Juventus and I love this team, if someone leaves I greet them if they come back I'm happy, everyone follows his path and if he stays he will be a hero like Nedved or Del Piero

I agree that it's always difficult to predict how a team will perform before the start of the league, but considering Napoli are a team that has good squad depth then maybe their form won't change too much. We can expect Napoli to have the same form as last season, but it is always possible to get it changed for various reasons. One of the most obvious reasons is, they are no longer working with Luciano Spalletti.

They are hardline Inter Milan Fans and as you said at first glance it looks out of line. Five seasons to strengthen Juventus open a short time, of course there are many things that make Inter Milan fans really hate him. Cuadrado has a reputation for being dominant over the defeats suffered by Inter while still at Juventus, the series of tensions on the field with Lukaku and a number of other Inter Milan players will always leave an unpleasant impression on Inter Fans. And Cuadrado has at least twice awarded a penalty in different games, so it makes perfect sense that he would be frowned upon at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Regardless of the tension between Cuadrado and the fans, I don't think it will last just one season and no contract extension. What's even more interesting is that Romelu Lukaku joined Juventus and that made the atmosphere of the two Serie A fans even hotter, hating their new players at each club.

I as a Napoli fan will believe that even though Rudi Garcia is not as great as Luciano Spalletti experience but Napoli still choose a great player like Osimhen who is able to give strong performance in the future and bring Napoli name to the top of the table again.
For me Rudi Garcia is not as bad as they think even though he doesn't have a lot of experience but Garcia desire to contribute to Napoli is very strong and the spirit of Garcia can already be seen ahead of preparation for the friendly match later.
There will be tough competition next season in the Italian league but Napoli will still lead the standings until the end of next season.
Maybe next season change will happen to other club but Garcia also has formation changes in players and also strengthening in every line which will be strengthened to be able to compete with other clubs and I am not going to miss every Napoli game to get a little advantage betting on him.

[rendravolt]

Inter announced that the player who will use the number 9 jersey next season is Marcus Thuram and we can see that with this the Lukaku era at Inter will come to an end. As we know, Marcus Thuram is their new recruit this season and he may be brought in as a replacement for Edin Dzeko, who had previously joined Fenerbahce.

I think the polemic between Lukaku and Inter has officially ended because we know that there was news that Lukaku was more interested in Juventus' offer and soon Inter withdrew to make Lukaku permanent from Chelsea. Moreover, this annoyed one of the Inter Curva Nord ultras group who even made a statement of disappointment towards Lukaku. It's clear that Inter don't need to be confused with Serie A next season and Marcus Thuram is felt to be enough to fill in next season's starters.

I also think that Napoli will still be very similar to last season, even though there will be slight changes at Napoli, it will definitely not be so bad for Napoli because they will still be one of the strong candidates in Serie A next season. Although I also agree more with what you said because before the season starts speculation for the Napoli team sometimes wouldn't be more accurate to say, so it will be better to see how Napoli do at the start of next season in the league.

This is quite an unfortunate thing and the big impact will be very detrimental to the team when their recruits do not have the support of the fans so it is very likely that the players will not be able to perform optimally.
I've never seen Inter Milan fans so stupid as this season, maybe it's just some people who are too scrutinized by the media so this keeps coming to the surface.
I regret this, and I hope that when Cuadrado appears later, the fans will support him so that Cuadrado's performance can come out to the fullest.

I don't have any further opinion about Napoli's appearance next season because I don't know how well Rudi Garcia way of working fits the capacity of each player in the team. What is clear is that I feel the integrity of the players between last season and now is a benchmark for the team's performance next season, although in the end it still depends on the handle of their coach.

As a fan, I often struggle to comprehend the expectations placed on players. They are, of course, professionals who inevitably prioritize financial gain. The fans have no real grounds for feeling unhappy or upset about this reality. Ultimately, the decision lies solely with the players. Shouldn't a player be free to join a rival club if presented with a lucrative opportunity?

As long as they fulfilled their duties to their former team, I see no issue in such a move. Now he has another contract with a different club, as he was previously under contract with their club. This is simply the way it is. Maybe they are unwilling to acknowledge that other clubs presented a more enticing offer in comparison to theirs. As long as the fans maintain the belief that their club is infallible, errors will continue to be made by the club.

If Napoli don't get a replacement that is commensurate with Kim Min Jae, then there is no guarantee that Napoli will be balanced next season. Especially when I think the departure of coach Luciano Spalletti will have a huge impact on the Napoli squad. So far Konstantinos Mavropanos defender belonging to VFB Stuttgart is being linked with Napoli, he has played for Arsenal but is not showing a good trend there.

Napoli move will be really difficult to defend the Scudetto and go further in the European Champions League if Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen leave in the transfer market this time. It takes several seasons to build a squad like Spalletti did, hopefully Rudi Garcia can bring Napoli to success in the future.
