Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[$crypto$]

Yes, there is no confirmation yet on Osimhen. He is most likely to stay at Napoli until 2025 when his current contract will end. Although I learnt that PSG is in talks to try and negotiate with Osimhen I doubt that it will yield any positive results as Napoli will still want to hang on to him. I heard a rumor; I call it a rumor because I am yet to confirm that a Saudi Club wants him. If this is true, if he goes there his budding career will be ruined forever. As he will be playing for the money not for the growth and development. His shelf will be lacking in championship titles, and awards and medals. He may even regret it.

What is currently happening is that Al Hilal continues to tempt Osimhen with a large salary so that he goes to the SPL, but it will not be that easy even though their offer is above the average salary of other players, he is not an old player even developing this season with Napoli so it would be very natural for many other clubs to target his services to buy at any price.

PSG currently has no offer with Osimhen, PSG has recruited Dembele from Barcelona maybe this is an option to replace Mbappe later, now back to Osimhen he has spoken before that being at Napoli is very happy, meaning there is a possibility that he will still survive until the contract expires.

it seems strange to say but in this exchange between vlahovic and lukaku Chelsea gains, Vlahovic is only 23 years old and when he was in the Florentine force he had shown very precious plays and in fact he was bought by Juventus for the sum of 80 million euros, Lukaku ne he is 30 years old and he has also lost the form he had during Antonio Conte's time at Inter, he is still a strong striker and knows Serie A quite well, but for Allegri's game I see him as a fish out of water

Lukaku has brought intermilan tot he final of UCL while vlahovic still does nothing for juventus. Even thoug lukaku was still older compared with vlahovic but you must see that based on the performance from the player.
Allegri has been releasing a statement if he doesn't like with vlahovic's play style. that's why allegri wants change him with lukaku caused by lukaku's play style is much more acceptable for juventus rather than vlahovic.

I think that juventus wants chelsea to add more money to get vlahovic but this can be a difficult deal for chelsea caused by the club may not willing to add money to get him.

I hope that the final deal gonna be reached. It's better to let lukaku leaves from the club caused by he is not useful anymore for chelsea. Lukaku gonna be very happy to play in the juventus.

I don't think it can be a comparison. Because in this case it's true that Lukaku was in the Champions League final but it's not just about one player but the whole team and Lukaku is just one of the players who contributed to Inter so when talking about the Champions League final it's not just about Lukaku but the whole team.
Talking about Lukaku and Dusan there are several considerations in this case such as age and fitness although Dusan is still below Lukaku from experience but his potential is still very large to develop but indeed for an exchange with the addition of around 50 million it is not possible I think but if you add 30 million or less it might be possible for Dusan because his performance at Juventus is also not in good shape.

There's no news of Napoli nor Victor Oshime leaving Napoli for Ac Milan.
Even if he wants to leave Ac Milan has spent enough for them to match the fee set-up by Napoli. I have only seen the new which has to do with Villarreal playmaker leaving for AC Milan. They will have to go harder this season. Same is for Juventus who are currently chasing Vlahovic to get Lukaku from Chelsea. But Oshime leaves or not, Napoli will never be the same way they did last season. After thirty years, they finally made the fans proud by winning the league.

Yes, there is no confirmation yet on Osimhen. He is most likely to stay at Napoli until 2025 when his current contract will end. Although I learnt that PSG is in talks to try and negotiate with Osimhen I doubt that it will yield any positive results as Napoli will still want to hang on to him. I heard a rumor; I call it a rumor because I am yet to confirm that a Saudi Club wants him. If this is true, if he goes there his budding career will be ruined forever. As he will be playing for the money not for the growth and development. His shelf will be lacking in championship titles, and awards and medals. He may even regret it.

Yes it is true that Victor Osimhen will at least be at Napoli until his contract expires and it is also likely that Napoli will offer him a contract extension unless they get another top player maybe Victor Osimhen will be sold to another club.
For now, even though he is often linked with other clubs and even Al-Hilal who offers very large offers, the Napoli management will not let go of Victor Osimhen because the club itself still really needs Osimhen's career to perform well in the champions league and series A.
So if Paris SG is currently reportedly negotiating with Victor Osimhen it doesn't mean that it will succeed in getting the player because it all requires confirmation from Napoli's management and if Napoli doesn't allow Osimhen he can't do anything and has to last for several seasons and I'm sure Victor Osimhen is a loyal player with a club that values him

[asriloni]

Napoli will definitely experience some challenges in this season, because some players has left the team to another team and Victor Osimhen is planning to join AC Milan in this summer, which will really cause the Napoli not to perform well like last season. If Napoli coach can decide to bring potential players to fill those gaps in this summer, I think they will be able to challenge some strong teams to maintain their top position in this Italian league competition because their goalkeeper and defenders are still with them. I know, this season will going to be a tough season for Napoli but even though they miss first position in the Italian league table, they will not miss second position in this season.

Where the heck acmilan gets money to buy osimhen from napoli? If this news was coming from saudi league (hilal) and it will possible to happen but it's actually bullshit. Osimhen's contract with napoli is still along way to go. How can acmilan buy him from napoli while even the big club with so much money like PSG is still struggling to buy him out from napoli. I don't even see reliable news that was supporting this rumor.

I kinda feel it's just another fake news being made by some media.

Not to underestimate SPL, but I personally would be very sorry if that happened. Because he is still young, he has very good abilities, he deserves to be in Europe joining a big club in Europe. Money is one of the ways the Arab club is tempting Osimhen, but I hope he doesn't always think about money, because with his young age and excellent ability in Europe he can get above average wages, if he can't get it this season, maybe in the future he will be able to get it. The only thing to note is that he must continue to develop and also be consistent, playing continues to improve from time to time.

Chelsea have announce interested for signing Dušan Vlahović but not opening proposal yet with how much bid offer, I think Juventus won't waiting until window transfer close for selling Dušan Vlahović if have any interested from other teams. In pre season training, Dušan Vlahović
have been in Juventus squad and I don't think has ideas for Massimo Allegri selling him in this window transfer. Juventus rumored with Lukaku but its not easy for signing Chelsea's player after second bid offer from Inter Milan almost 40 million rejected.

Current pre season training I don't see not harmony between Dušan Vlahović and Massimo Allegri, Juventus will use his as main striker for next season and not participants in UEFA Conference League I think Juventus not really necessary for signing Lukaku actually have to pay more expensive fees transfer.

I think if they could make that happen then it will be a ton of money involved. I believe that Italian clubs should not say no to money like that, it just doesn't make sense to say no, because that's money you will normally not get locally, these teams are not the richest clubs in the world, they do not print money like UK clubs, and they are not sold to some Oil rich guy neither, so there is no money to be made like this.

Juventus needs a lot of money after what happened and if they could get a good amount of money then they should definitely consider selling without a doubt. I know that it is going to cause a lot of trouble for who to replace him, but they can think about that a bit later, transfer window is still open.

Fake news or indeed he just made up according to his own imagination, which means, there is no definite source regarding this matter. But apart from Osimhen, I personally don't care if Osimhen stays or leaves because either way, it's clear that defending the title is a tough matter. What's more, Napoli is not a team that is always at the top of the standings every season so it will be natural if later Napoli cannot defend its Scudetto title. Also, for Napoli to be strong in second place though, basically I personally not sure because it looks like, teams like Juventus and Inter might get back to good form to make a good domination also for next season.

According to the odds the bookie placed Barcelona as the favourite with odds @1.84 and AC Milan as the underdog with odds @3.55 but if we see from head to head statistics both teams has been met once on 2018 at that time AC Milan can able to beat Barcelona with slim score 1-0 and indeed Barcelona recent performance looks very impressive that they had showed good progress by humiliated Real Madrid and for this match too probably Barcelona win could be good pick and @1.84 is decent odds

Barcelona are obviously the favourites, even if they didnt play in the cup they won something (La Liga) while Milan didnt do much this season.
Lets say that he also had a bit of bad luck (Milan) many injuries and a lot of bad luck. Never as much as Juventus but they suffered.

[Distraction]

I haven't heard anything about Osimhen like he is planning to join Milan. Why would he think of doing so in the first place? There is no motivation for him to do it while he is playing for the last champion of the league. Napoli are likely to be a competitive team for the Serie A title regularly from now on. It just depends on establishing a good relationship with Rudi Garcia.

Besides Milan wouldn't even like to spend that much money on anyone. Osimhen's asking price would be around 150 million euros I guess. Milan don't make this kind of big transfers as they don't feel the need for it.

I think Osimhen would be signed by a top team in other big leagues in the future. But I don't feel like it will happen this summer.

Same here I don't think I've come across any news of such, though there might be rumours but they're false and oshimen is not likely to move to another Italian team even, he's very comfortable and happy at Napoli and ready for a challenge next season to defend their  trophy as title holders, even if there's a possibility that he would move out of Napoli i don't think it's this season maybe next or 2 years from now and it would either be to a top English team or to France.
 Also, based on his contract Ac Milan won't want to sign him for a release clause of about £150m when they still have other areas of the squad to strengthen, according to the news it is said that they are in chase of two Argentina attackers and have had a meeting with the agent of a central striker from Rosario, Alejo Veliz and also are interested in his country man Lucas Beltran who scored about 23goals in 2023 appearance for his team River  Plate.

Certainly Barcelona are the favorites without a doubt, they have a history and a squad of champions that already works and allows them to play well together. Teams like Milan are teams to rebuild because they have something wrong, some notes that are out of tune, I don't know if you can understand me.
this is my opinion

The only thing to note is that he must continue to develop and also be consistent, playing continues to improve from time to time.

It shouldn't be all top players willing to join the Arab Pro League just because they offer a high salary, but most of them will have that option one day. Osimhen still deserves to be in European competition regardless of which league, but Serie A seems to suit him perfectly.

The player from Nigeria has indeed received a high offer from one of the Arab Pro League teams, but I hope Napoli will still reject it instead of agreeing to the offer. Osimhen has the potential to become a top European player and be included in the list of potential Ballon d'Or winners, but all decisions rest with Napoli and Osimhen as well.

[lalabotax]

I think that the next season is of existential relevance to them. They won't disappear or anything when they have another bad season, but they will have lots of difficulties to rebuild their team should they miss the Champions League again.

That's how they should be. This previous season became a very valuable lesson for the club and also for the players and all parties in general. Here, we can later see how serious Juventus are in improving their team, in improving and developing this team very well this season. Not only that, Juventus also have some quite complicated homework on several fronts and they are trying to fix it. If they failed again, this would be too much. At least they can enter the UCL next season, if indeed they can really improve their performance, without any more sanctions.

......But apart from Osimhen, I personally don't care if Osimhen stays or leaves because either way, it's clear that defending the title is a tough matter. What's more, Napoli is not a team that is always at the top of the standings every season so it will be natural if later Napoli cannot defend its Scudetto title.....

If only Oshimen would have Napoli still have more trouble defending the title this season, especially if Oshimen moved later. This will make Napoli itself worse. moreover, there have been several changes in Napoli, not to mention they have the newest coach, not Spaletti anymore. Surely they are trying something new again even though Napoli say that Rudi Garcia may have almost the same way and tactics. But we don't know what the results will be yet. So, it's still a guesswork. That's why many people doubt if Napoli can defend the Scudetto title or not.

Such news and information are purely speculations.
Victor Oshime goes nowhere, he'll stay with Napoli this season despite the links to Ac Milan. That can never be possible after all the strong relationship built with the people of naples. Osimhen wouldn't want to repay them that way. The quest for a central attacking player is important even Paris Saint Germany lacks one currently. Osimhen is currently hot cake in the market everyone wants him.

People shall not underestimate serie a club. Barcelona was going out from UCL due to the lose against serie a club. Ac milan can perform better compared with last season. The team is on the way building the new squad. I think that if this is quite clear of barcelona will try so hard to beat acmilan. It's a very interesting match after the cancellation of the match between barcelona vs juventus. In order to test its capability for the upcoming UCL season, Barcelona should at least play against a strong Serie A club.

Napoli will definitely experience some challenges in this season, because some players has left the team to another team and Victor Osimhen is planning to join AC Milan in this summer, which will really cause the Napoli not to perform well like last season.

True, that's why i kinda feel that looks weird to see people said acmilan was willing to buy osimhen while napoli has put big wall for him.

The news from Buffon we were all waiting to see if he is going to retire at 45. While this legendary player got offers from the Saudi teams and some people were thinking he is going to finish his career there but Buffon is going to get retired in Parma the Italian team where he started his career.
However, I think if they could get themself into the Serie A Buffon could play for another season.

[Leviathan.007]

Recently there was some news about Lukaku and his next destination he didn't say anything yet official about his next team but after all these days Lukaku finally said about his transfer to Juventus, "I don't think if this happens." this can show us that there is not much chance for Lukaku to join Juventus in the next season.

So where will he go next if he doesn't join Juventus? I don't think Inter need him any more because his character has underestimated the club's attempts to sign him on a permanent basis. But even if he returns to Chelsea, he obviously won't be included in Pocettino's squad list so inevitably he has to find a new club as his home. Now maybe some teams in Italy don't really like him after this incident and even if he goes to another league it's not certain that anyone will take him because Chelsea also set a fairly high fee. I don't understand this player like having star syndrome and feeling he is needed by a big team.

what has happened with Lukaku is experiencing right now because of his own stupidity, he is too arrogant to feel like a star player in Europe, even though if he do not make mistakes, he already has a better future to contract with Inter and be permanent there to have a great career. but sadly Lukaku chose to make the mistake that disappointed 3 teams like Chelsea, Inter and Juventus. so that these three teams are no longer very interested in Lukaku after learning about his badness and this will make Lukaku future worse because of his own actions unless Chelsea sells at a low price maybe another team wants to sign him.
this problem could be a punishment for Lukaku.

It's clear that his stupidity has resulted in all the polemics that are interconnected and I've read on Twitter that when Lautaro Martinez tried to contact him to ask how he was doing, Lukaku was silent and seemed to ignore him. After that, it was reported that Lautaro Martinez had never contacted him again, so we can mean that the relationship between the two Inter strikers was no longer harmonious and Lukaku's presence was never considered again for Lautaro Martinez. Now I feel quite concerned about what Lukaku has planted and soon the harvest he wants will not be the same as what he wants.

As I said a few days ago, we just paid more attention to Lukaku than we usually should because Inter Milan tried to release this player for Chelsea even for a huge amount of money and he first said he want to play for Inter Milan in the next season but he started having a negotiation with Juventus and this made Inter Milan sad, now there is even a chance for this player to return Chelsea.

AC Milan will playing against Barcelona tomorrow that both teams haven't gets satisfied results during pre season matches that Milan have already lost from Real Madrid and draw from Juventus but Barcelona was slightly better of we compared to Milan because after lost from Arsenal Barcelona can gets win with big scores at El Classico against Real Madrid

According to the odds the bookie placed Barcelona as the favourite with odds @1.84 and AC Milan as the underdog with odds @3.55 but if we see from head to head statistics both teams has been met once on 2018 at that time AC Milan can able to beat Barcelona with slim score 1-0 and indeed Barcelona recent performance looks very impressive that they had showed good progress by humiliated Real Madrid and for this match too probably Barcelona win could be good pick and @1.84 is decent odds

Barcelona won the game against Real Madrid in the last friendly match and they had a perfect performance against this team, also they had the stability to get better results in the next season, that's I think there is a higher chance for Barcelona nad Xavi to win this game against Ac Milan however the odds are for Barcelona are low but still worth to bet.

Napoli will definitely experience some challenges in this season, because some players has left the team to another team and Victor Osimhen is planning to join AC Milan in this summer, which will really cause the Napoli not to perform well like last season. If Napoli coach can decide to bring potential players to fill those gaps in this summer, I think they will be able to challenge some strong teams to maintain their top position in this Italian league competition because their goalkeeper and defenders are still with them. I know, this season will going to be a tough season for Napoli but even though they miss first position in the Italian league table, they will not miss second position in this season.

Next season for Napoli is not going to be easy at all and this will be hard to predict and say if Napoli will have a good performance like last season or not, because last season in the match against Ac Milan just because of not having Osimhen they lost the game and this time they lost their coach and they will have Rudi Garcia which is a good reason to say maybe the Napoli we are going to see in the next season is not going to be strong like last season anymore.

It is reported that Buffon's agent will hold a meeting in the coming days to discuss termination of the contract, thus Buffon will decide to retire at the age of 45. Buffon still has one year left on his contract with Parma, but frequent injuries have forced him to retire and refuse to continue his career in the SPL.

It is time for Buffon to enjoy his time beside his family, he is the oldest goalkeeper who is still active today. After retiring, Buffon received an offer to fill the position of Chief of Delegation for the Italian National Team.

We would experienced a legend keen on retiring from football. Parma losing one of the best goalkeepers in football history, let's give more chance to what the 45 years tend to achieve, but he probably has additional objectives to achieve outside of sport. Gianluigi Buffon is a legendary goalkeeper with golden gloves; while it would be nice if he retired sooner, his time has come. Ready to start a new chapter in his life, giving up on professional football, perhaps his absence would be felt, he already won substantial trophies during his peak moments with Juventus.

I was very sad when I heard the news that Gianluigi Buffon had finally retired from football. He is one of the living legends who accompanied me growing up in knowing football and when I played football I always wanted to be a goalkeeper like Gianluigi Buffon. So many great players respect him and after returning to Parma he finally chose to retire in the team that made his name when he was young. It doesn't feel like he is already 45 years old and indeed it is time for him to retire to be able to enjoy a quieter life. Legend of Parma and Juventus, I will never forget his name.
