Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Swordsoffreedom]

Milan is a club that doesn't change coaches very quickly. Because the Milan management knows very well that any coach needs time to adapt to the players in his team. It is foolish to think that the performance of the team will improve immediately with the change of coach. Moreover, most of the times we see that the performance of the teams becomes unstable after the change of coach. This is why the Milan management is not interested in a quick coach change.

Stefano Pioli coached Milan for the last 5 seasons. I wouldn't say that Milan's performance with Pioli was poor. But I look forward to seeing if the players can adapt to the likes of Paulo Fonseca. Paulo Fonseca coached Roma and Lille in the last few years. With Paulo Fonseca, Roma and lille's performance was strong, no way to say that.

Milan perform under Stefano Pioli not really poor because success winning scudetto last two season, but small fund allocated for transfer top players make Milan difficult reach higher level perform but keep consistent finish on Champion League spot standings every season. After sacking Stefano Pioli, Milan still not announce yet who candidate become their manager for next season and seems waiting after Euro 2024 or waiting official releasing from management appointing new manager for next season.

Right now have many top manager as free agent after sacking by their team before from Thomas Tuchel, Xavi Hernandez and Juventus head coach former Massimo Allegri could be candidate list become Milan manager for next season because he was Milan former last several season before.

I agree with you that Milan's performance with Stefano Pioli was not too bad. However, the Milan team cannot dominate Serie A. But Stefano Pioli can't be blamed for that. And the Milan management isn't blaming Stefano Pioli either. Milan management is aware of their squad's weaknesses. They are well aware that the Milan squad is not strong enough. There are several weaknesses within the squad. If you want to strengthen the squad, you have to spend a lot of money. Otherwise, Milan will not be able to dominate serie a.

The three coaches you mentioned are all talented and experienced. Tuchel, Xavi and Allagri are all three very good players. I think Milan team will benefit if one of these three is given the responsibility of coach. Allagri has been in Serie A for a long time. He is well aware of the Serie A teams.

[barisbilgili]

I think, it is the joy of every management to see their coach doing well by helping the team to be more consistent in winning their matches which they are ready to release any amount of budget the coach need, and if conte can show some signs of potential coach, I think the management will approve such budget. If the players the coach is trying to bring into Napoli are potential players, I don't think the management will ignore the budget, and they want good performance from Napoli next season because they are not happy about the position Napoli ended up in Italian league competition. I don't think, Victor Osimhen will still continue with Napoli next season, because there is a rumors that PSG management are planning to sign him to cover the position of kylian Mbappe that moved to Real Madrid.

Each team has a limit for spending on players and of course Conte will build a team and adjust to the budget given by the team to spend on players and each coach also needs several players according to his wishes in order to carry out his strategy.
Conte is quite a great coach and he also has a lot of experience in Serie A so it is possible that Conte can bring Napoli back to life.

And for Victor Osimhen, the news is still unclear and I think Conte's arrival as Napoli's new coach will be a consideration for Victor Osimhen to stay with Napoli, unless PSG offers big money and Napoli is interested in that.

[rendravolt]

As a striker and captain, Lautaro Martinez's future is increasingly secure at Inter and according to information from Fabrizio Romano he will get a long-term contract until 2029. This was conveyed directly by vice president Javier Zanetti and it looks like Lautaro Martinez will retire later at Inter if not decided to leave during that period of time.

If we calculate that he is currently 26 years old and in 2029 he will be 31 years old and if his performance remains stable, it is possible that he will still get another contract extension. Apart from all that, Inter will definitely extend this long-term contract so that other teams cannot touch Lautaro Martinez. Moreover, the release clause will definitely be very expensive and will be difficult for other teams to redeem. So this was the right decision taken by Inter to retain the Argentinian goal machine.

Conte is interested in adding Lukaku to the squad. But I don't believe that Napoli management will add Lukaku to the squad for 37 million. Such a large amount means Napoli management will not be interested in spending for Lukaku. However, if they want to perform well in the next season, Napoli definitely need an experienced striker.

I agree with you. Conte is a good coach and I think Napoli have made the right decision by recruiting Conte. But if the club management doesn't give Conte a sufficient budget to buy some of the players he wants, I don't think that's a good decision. Club management doesn't want to spend big money but as you said, Napoli needs an experienced striker if Osimhen really leaves. But for now, Napoli are actually lucky to have Osimhen. He is a much better striker than Lukaku.

If the club wants to see Napoli perform better again, it would be a good choice if the club also had to grant Conte's wish to bring in Lukaku. Because it would be quite useless if Napoli brought in a great coach if the club didn't want to spend a lot of money to bring in the players the coach wanted.
But it is reported that Napoli is ready to spend large amounts of money in this transfer market. And that is also one of the things that makes Conte interested in coaching this club.

Regarding Osimhen, I think this player will have difficulty finding a new club. Because based on the news I read, now one of the English clubs that is targeting Osimhen has also withdrawn from the hunt.  One of them is Arsenal, who seems unwilling to pay a high price for Victor Osimhen's release clause. And Arsenal seems to have switched to targeting another player, namely Kieran Tierney. Napoli seems to really intend to let Osimhen go. but at a very expensive price. And if there is a club that dares to pay a high price for Victor Osimhen's release clause then I am quite sure that Napoli will immediately agree to bring Lukaku there.

[Velvet78]

So far, based on rumors, there are 6 managers who might go to AC Milan, including: Paulo Fonseca, Roberto De Zerbi, Lionel Scaloni, Thomas Tuchel, Sergio Conceicao and Xavi Hernandez. Which of these managers do you think is most likely to go to AC Milan?

Among these candidates, I think Milan might be more keen on bringing De Zerbi. Because he is Italian and a decent manager at the same time. Milan cares about working with Italian managers more like I said before.

Other than these names Milan is rumoured to be interested in Allegri as well. You know they worked with Allegri many years ago. He managed Milan for nearly 4 years and left in 2014. He won a Serie A title with Milan too. The reason why they parted ways was the high performance drop in Milan in his fourth season. But honestly I think Allegri should be considered as an option seriously. I believe he is a very good candidate and successful at the same time. 

[legendbtc]

Osimhen probably doesn't want to be at Napoli anymore because Napoli don't play in the Champions League competition, I think that's a natural thing for a player like Osimhen, it's appropriate for him to go to a much stronger team.
Meanwhile, NApoli's plan to recruit Lukaku cannot be separated from Antonio Conte's wishes because Conte is quite happy with Lukaku and I think from what has happened in the past Lukaku's quality will suit Conte's coaching style quite well.
Even though Lukaku's performance has really declined at the moment, I think every coach has his own point of view and we have to respect that.

Currently, talks about Victor Oshime all calm and quiet. I don't know who wants him no more, we'll wait until after the European Competition then.
Arsenal should make a move if Chelsea has no plans, if they can sign up Declan Rice for such figures, why can't they do same with Victor Oshime? Maybe they should do installment payments.

I want to see if he'd rather a season stay with Napoli or even move to Paris Saint Germans which would be a club capable of paying off his dues. But they'll be affected by fair play rules if they sign both Khivicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Oshime together from Napoli.

I'd love him to work a season with Antonio Conte anyways, top lad working with a top manager.

As for Conte and Lukaku, they did work together during that season at Inter Milan as they also went ahead to win the league Competition.
The likes of Ashley Young, Christian Erikson and Romelu Lukaku all won the trophy that season. Lukaku was amongst them that scored quality goals for the club, so I'm not surprised by themselves linking back together.

Yes. Victor Osimhen wanted to leave when Napoli wasn't the ideal place for him to develop his career. But his contract is still valid. The big clubs don't want to meet the price that Napoli is asking for Victor Osimhen. Napoli should consider lowering Osimhen's price, especially as they need the 25-year-old's transfer fee to fund new contracts this summer. While Napoli wants to replace Osimhen with Romelu Lukaku, it won't be easy because Chelsea insists on a fee of £38 million. Lukaku's contract release clause at the moment is very expensive. So why don't these two teams sit down and negotiate reasonably? At some point, they will receive a much lower transfer fee than currently. Or the transfer fee will return to 0 when the contract expires. The leadership of the two clubs should consider.

He won a Serie A title with Milan too. The reason why they parted ways was the high performance drop in Milan in his fourth season. But honestly I think Allegri should be considered as an option seriously. I believe he is a very good candidate and successful at the same time.  

Several coaches continue to be associated with Milan at this time, including Paulo Fonseca and also de zerbi, both coach of course have extensive knowledge about Italian football, because indeed both have coached the same frim Italian team, after firing Pioli of course until now Milan has not had a coach who will indeed be sure to coach them next season,  Roberto De Zerbi and Paulo Fonsesca are strong candidates who are currently predicted to coach the Rossoneri, but so far according to Fabrizio Romano if Paulo Fonsesca seems to be prioritized for Milan recruits than De Zerbi, especially now that Fonsesca has officially parted ways with Lille, Milan this season has indeed failed to compete in the Scudetto race but they have performed quite well under Pioli coaching and the proof is that they can end the season in the runner-up position this season.

Allegri has indeed brought success with Milan previou, but will that again guarantee Milan success next season?
Of course not, in some seasons we can see how bad Juventus is performing and even Juventus which is filled with many star players often loses to small teams because indeed for now the tactics, strategies and also the game scheme applied by Allegri have been very ancient and even very easy to read by the opposing coach, rather than Milan recruiting Allegri as a coach of course it is better for Milan to hire Pioli again as Milan coach because Indeed, Pioli is still better than Allegri in coaching the team this season.

This condition is certainly a lot to see, and it makes Allegri fired by Juventus in the remaining matches this season. There are many rumors about Allegri, Milan, Lazio and even EPL clubs being linked with him. And about Juventus, Currently Juventus with Paolo Montero they also have not shown their best performance because Paolo Montero does not have much experience in the senior team. This condition makes me curious, whether Juventus will find a replacement for Paolo Montero. There has been no official news on this matter, if Juventus want to keep competing for the championship next season they should immediately look for a new, better coach.

[Sakanwa]

Yes. And Napoli also seems to need to sell Osimhen this season due to financial reasons. Yes, there are indeed several big clubs who are interested in Osimhen. It has been Chelsea who have been hoping for a swap deal for Osimhen from Lukaku for quite some time. However, there is also no bright spot, but on the other hand, Napoli actually wants to swap deal from Arsenal, with 2 Arsenal players for Osimhen. The 2 Arsenal players that Napoli are hoping for are Smith Rowe and Tomiyasu. So just wait and see what the decision is, because Arsenal have not yet made a decision on this matter.

https://metro.co.uk/2024/06/03/two-arsenal-players-wanted-napoli-part-victor-osimhen-transfer-20958689/

I don't think has possibility with swap Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku after Chelsea announcing bid offer 38 million euro for selling their players without swap option. Napoli manager Antonio Conte has huge expectation for signing Romelu Lukaku and I think swap its not benefit option for Napoli because they can sell Victor Osimhen over 150 million euro and buy Lukaku only 38 million euro.
Serie A season 2024/25 seems very interested because Antonio Conte become Napoli manager and he had good reputation always success winning domestic league when becoming Serie A manager teams from Juventus until Inter Milan.

Yes, based on etrbaur's report, it did fail. And finally, for now, Napoli is currently negotiating with Arsenal. Actually, Arsenal also wants Osimhen, but apparently the price is too high for the striker.
In fact, Arsenla has also sent a message to Napoli about his interest, but has not agreed to the price Napoli are asking for, namely €130 million (£110.8m) release clause.

And it is true that Arsenal also has several other players who are his targets. So, this will be a big consideration for the club in deciding which one to take. And it seems that Napoli will have to carry out various re-considerations to take into account fees and other things, if they really want to sell Osimhen or do another swap deal with Arsenal or other clubs later.

I don't see any reason why Arsenal will agree to pay that hefty fee for Napoli's striker Osimhen,who hasn't played in the English premier league,and we don't know whether he will get their to be a flop or not.And to me,he is not worth that kind of amount being placed on him,he is just over hyped,I don't see any extraordinary thing that he does much on the field.Napoli have to reduce his price to either 70 or 80 million pounds,else he will still end up staying at that club.They should know that England is a tough place,and since he hasn't played there,they won't know whether he would do well there or not,so it's either they reduce the price or he stays at the club.

He is a much better striker than Lukaku.

Napoli's management must think more wisely in terms of improving their performance next season because Conte's own performance will definitely be more visible and more fruitful for Napoli. And one of the wiser decisions is to bring in several new players, one of whom is a striker, so that he can partner with Osimhen if Osimhen does not leave Napoli next season. Apart from that, Napoli themselves cannot just be spectators in the current season of recruiting new players because their rivals are always looking for new players through the transfer market.

[Lannakosa]

Allergi turned down a very lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia and wants to continue his career in Serie A, so it could be Lazio, at least this is being discussed now. I would like to see what he is capable of with another team, in recent years, Allegri has been associated with Juventus. But Juventus had a very weak ending, and it looks like it will be difficult for them in the Champions League, probably the same as in Serie A.

Of course, this will be done especially now that Napoli is in a downturn and their decision to recruit Conte is an indication of the seriousness of Napoli management to improve the performance of the Napoli team again.
As for adding new players, of course all coaches want that, but we don't yet know what Conte's decision will be in choosing the players in his squad. It could be that Conte uses the existing squad and adds just a few or carries out major changes.

[SmartCharpa]

Osimhen probably doesn't want to be at Napoli anymore because Napoli don't play in the Champions League competition, I think that's a natural thing for a player like Osimhen, it's appropriate for him to go to a much stronger team.

Even though Lukaku's performance has really declined at the moment, I think every coach has his own point of view and we have to respect that.

If Osimehn doesn't wants to remain at the club, I don't think he will extend his contract to 2026. I believe that Osimehn extended his contract because he is happy to stay at the club, but currently, I don't think Osimehn will remain at the club next season because his play time is limited since Conte is happy to sign Lukaku to the club, we can still view Lukaku as the best striker at the age of 31, but we cannot compare him to Osimehn at this level.

Among these candidates, I think Milan might be more keen on bringing De Zerbi. Because he is Italian and a decent manager at the same time. Milan cares about working with Italian managers more like I said before.

But honestly I think Allegri should be considered as an option seriously. I believe he is a very good candidate and successful at the same time. 

Why should Ac Milan employ Allegri? I don't think AC Milan needs to bring back their former manager. Allegri managed for almost four years, winning the Seria A championship between 2010 and 2014. Milan wants a new manager with new strategies, they do not need to hire a manager who failed to improve this season, Juventus has the best players to win their games this season, but they struggled to win their games. Milan will compete in the next Champions League and the manager must prepare the players to play at a high level. Allegri has failed to improve Juventus, who only competed in the Seria A this season. So Allegri is not the perfect choice for Milan.

Apart from that, Napoli themselves cannot just be spectators in the current season of recruiting new players because their rivals are always looking for new players through the transfer market.

The point is that Napoli have to give Conte a decent chance, I mean they have to give him lots of chances when at the start he didn't show a good game. They have to be patient in seeing the development of the team in the hands of the new coach, because after all the coach will go through an adaptation process and perhaps it will take longer because they have to understand the character of each player they have in order to maximize the abilities of those players.

If Napoli is hasty in making decisions when they see that Conte is a little slow in improving the team, in my opinion that is something that is not good either. They had also spent a lot to get this coach's signature, so they had to think long before deciding on something. I understand that expectations for Napoli are currently very high, because they were former champions in the previous 2 seasons, but this season they performed poorly. It is hoped that Conte's arrival will bring fresh air to Napoli.

[Jody.Drummer]

Ac Milan could only finish in 2nd place this season, they were unable to compete with Inter Milan who actually had a better performance than them. After they became champions in the 2021/2022 season, they experienced a slight setback and this made them unable to compete closely to retain the title. Even in the previous season they could only finish in 4th place and they also achieved it with difficulty.

Next season I hope they can be even better and can compete fiercely to win the Scudetto title. They are one of the big clubs in Serie A, so they have to show that they are a big and strong club. Indeed, finishing in 2nd place is still a good thing, but if we look at the difference in points they have with Inter Milan, it is a very long distance. It would be really nice if there were more clubs that could compete in Serie A, because I always see that there is a big gap between the points obtained at the end of the season.

I remember that when Napoli won the scudetto there was a big gap between the first and second teams so I have no idea if this year it was a coincidence or it's something that regularly repeats itself but I also remember that the juventus won with the record number of points and below there were other teams who scored the same points that would have been needed to win this year so sometimes you win even when there are favorable conditions or there are no decent opponents

[pusaka]

Of course, this will be done especially now that Napoli is in a downturn and their decision to recruit Conte is an indication of the seriousness of Napoli management to improve the performance of the Napoli team again.
As for adding new players, of course all coaches want that, but we don't yet know what Conte's decision will be in choosing the players in his squad. It could be that Conte uses the existing squad and adds just a few or carries out major changes.

Antonio Conte will first see how much strength he has with the existing players, then he will make the decision to recruit players in any position he considers lacking, and that applies to the depth of his squad too.
Now he still had a lot of time to see how strong they were, so perhaps he didn't want to rush in deciding to bring in players. Management just has to be prepared for what Conte wants later.
I also hope he doesn't rush into targeting players, so that later he doesn't fail in transferring players. The reason is that every money that is spent must be able to provide something good for them.

In fact, Serie A very often displays tight competition until the last week of the league, one of which was in the previous 2 seasons when AC Milan managed to become champion, they only had a difference of 2 points from Inter Milan who were in 2nd place and At that time the last week was a very decisive week for both teams.
Apart from that, when Juventus won the title for the last time, they were only 1 point ahead of Inter Milan at that time, yes, even though they had claimed the title long before that, in the end they didn't focus on Serie A.
However, in the last 2 seasons there has always been a very high gap so that is what makes the league a little boring, because they managed to secure the title in a week far from the last week.

[Oluwa-btc]

Yes. Victor Osimhen wanted to leave when Napoli wasn't the ideal place for him to develop his career. But his contract is still valid. The big clubs don't want to meet the price that Napoli is asking for Victor Osimhen. Napoli should consider lowering Osimhen's price, especially as they need the 25-year-old's transfer fee to fund new contracts this summer.

So why don't these two teams sit down and negotiate reasonably? At some point, they will receive a much lower transfer fee than currently. Or the transfer fee will return to 0 when the contract expires. The leadership of the two clubs should consider.

It's not like Napoli is a bad environment for his development, hell no!! We all saw how well he did for Napoli two seasons ago and his personal contributions as they went on to win the Scudetto League Competition.
It was a different one last season couple with the embarrassment he received from the account handler on ticktock and also how they saw themselves playing under managers who are not sound as Spalletti.

I think due to financial fair play rules, most big itching for him gradually reduced them interest in the player. Paris Saint Germany seems to be the nearest getting him but he will never win nothing with Paris Saint Germans. I mean, he will not be able to win the Champions League Competition.

Last time I checked, Napoli and Chelsea are good at making deals, all they need do is come to agreement for the fee. If Napoli wants Lukaku and he does the same, then it'll be a dine deal in little time. I know most clubs are not trying to make a rush so they don't sign up Injured players to them side.

[Rampagoe004]

I agree with you. It would be better if Napoli could bring in several players in the transfer market. If they want to improve their performance then they cannot just rely on the current players. There are many rumors that Osimhen will leave the club either this season or next season. But they should still look at the possibility. Conte has made the right decision by bringing in another striker to play with Osimhen. At least they don't just rely on one player.

[Frankolala]

Yes. And Napoli also seems to need to sell Osimhen this season due to financial reasons. Yes, there are indeed several big clubs who are interested in Osimhen.

Osinhem was the highest goal scorer in Seria A last two seasons and it was because of his endless scoring and contributions that made Napoli to win the league for the first time in history. You are underestimating Osinhem who is a goal machine.

He will do better in Arsenal because he will have all the support from the players in order for him to score as much goals as possible. His performance was poor last season in Napoli because the club is suffering, and I will not say it was his fault. Osinhem is a strong player a d he can play in EPL without any problem and do better, but like you said the price on him is high for Arsenal, because they are not use to buying very expensive players.
