Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[junder]

Bringing in great players is every club's dream but the problem is that Juventus doesn't have enough budget to get these players, so what they do is compete without forcing themselves meaning they understand their abilities. For next season I think the situation will still be the same Juventus is only able to compete for the top 4 or tickets to the Champions League and we don't know how long they will be in this situation.

Juventus is quite active in targeting the players they want to recruit, but Juventus has a just barely budget so it cannot recruit players who are expensive. It can only negotiate with the club and players at a price it can afford if the club does not agree with Juventus' offer. Juventus can't do anything other than look for players who are cheaper but have good performance, even though finding players with good performance and cheap is very difficult unless they recruit players from lower level clubs.

Recruiting players from lower level clubs does not have a very high market value, but Thiago Motta must look at the potential he has well before deciding to recruit the player and see what his track record is. If the coach feels he is able to hone him, then Juventus can look for players at low prices but with a note. The coach can accept it and build the players' performance well.

Even if they are lucky, I think they can get cheap players but with good enough quality or maybe their talent is not yet visible. Juventus' limited budget is an obstacle for them because they cannot recruit players whose talents are clearly visible. but what you say is true, Juventun can't do anything but look for cheaper players to help their performance be better, as long as they don't recruit the wrong players maybe it can help their performance.

Thiago Motta, like it or not, has to be able to utilize the available budget, so he can recruit players who are of low value but he must be able to see that the player really has brilliant talent, so when this can be seen, Thiago Motta just needs to hone the player and become a Juventus star. , even though it takes time, I am sure that Thiago Motta's adaptability can make each other's training process easier.

Have you heard this? Raphael Varane is reportedly getting closer to joining next season's promoted team, namely Como. Currently, Raphael Varane has arrived in Como to discuss this agreement and as is known, Raphael Varane has said goodbye to Manchester United after his contract ends.

This 31 year old central defender from France will be a very good force and it seems that here Cesc Fabregas as Como's assistant coach will also help in making this recruitment process smoother. It doesn't seem too bad to get Raphael Varane, especially since his wealth of experience will really help Como in navigating the Serie A competition next season.

The problem that occurs for now may focus on finances that are not very good, because after all, the current situation for Juventus is the same as other clubs in Serie A where the finances are indeed quite bad for the size of a big club which of course this will cause a problem in the end.
Motta is indeed possible to change Juventus in a better direction, it's just that hoping for financial support is difficult so it is likely that for now Motta will only make some emphasis by maximizing some of the current players.

From this news "Juventus dire finances will force the club to sell players", there is no choice but to stick with the existing players. And all of this must be done to improve financial problems so that they don't get worse in the long term.
In this article, I don't know if it's true or not, but what is certain is that Juventus must survive for at least 3 years to be able to improve their finances and must be patient with existing players or players from the transfer market. So whatever Motta will do will not provide a big improvement or at least staying in the top 3 is good enough.

Currently, if you look at some of the news that has happened, Juventus have always lost in the last few seasons, even if in total for now Juventus at the start of the 2023/2024 season alone have lost around 700 million in the last 6 seasons and the possibility of this season increasing because it is said they made a profit the last time was in the 2016-2017 season which of course this is a situation that is too complicated for Juventus even though we realize that in the end the problem of losses for clubs in Serie A does seem flat but on the other hand for a club that can be said to be a big club Juventus is a club that has enough problems for their finances, especially when covid hits.

Juventus reiterated on Friday they forecast another loss in the current full fiscal year after they reported a consolidated loss of €124m to June 30, 2023, bringing their cumulated losses to over €700m in six years.

The club last posted a net profit in 2016-2017.

Obviously this is a move where they have to sell some players to stabilize their balance sheet.

But on the other hand, other clubs also actually have the same problem for Serie A including for some clubs like Milan and Inter so when in this case Motta wants to give a breakthrough to make a new situation then I think it can still and very likely to happen for Serie A next season.

It depends on how Motta minimizes players and unites their poor chemistry because even though Motta must be missing a condition where he is not free to shop but on the other hand, financial problems he shouldn't have to think about it because it's not his job.

It doesn't seem too bad to get Raphael Varane, especially since his wealth of experience will really help Como in navigating the Serie A competition next season.

Como who will officially play in Serie A next season began to actively strengthen their squad ahead of the start of the 2025 season, previously Como had brought in Belotti from Roma, it seems that they are not satisfied enough to continue to strengthen their squad by trying to bring in top players to face next season, currently it is reported that Varane has been in Italy and is getting closer to joining Como,  If indeed later Como succeeds in realizing the transfer, of course Como will at least have a good defense, indeed at this time Varane is starting to enter the end of his career but that does not make him a bad player.

Varane, who has been quite impressive with Madrid, actually had to go through a difficult time with Manchester United so far, but the decline in performance that occurred to Varane while with Manchester United was of course due to his frequent injuries and also of course the game strategy applied by Ten Hag so far made it difficult for him to achieve his best performance,  If you join Como, of course, Como benefits a lot because they get it with free transfers at the moment.

You know Osimhen is likely to leave and Kvaratskhelia is no different than him either. Losing both of your crucial player sucks, I totally agree with that. It means losing quite much power in the attacking line. 

However Napoli can still turn this into advantage. I mean they can use the money in these sales to make changes in the squad according to Conte's system.    De Laurentiis just needs to listen Conte carefully. As he has brought a winner manager he has to do that. Conte is one of the great managers with immediate effect. I think we will watch a way better Napoli next season.

Napoli can be better next season than last season. Because last season they were very bad. But I think they will have problems finding better footballers than Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia. It's not easy to find talent at this level. I don't think they will be able to fill Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia's shoes and I think Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia will be successful wherever they go. Napoli will lose two very valuable players.

By the way, there are rumors that Conte wants to sign Fenerbahçe's Dutch left-back Oosterwolde. Fenerbahçe and Napoli have always had good relations. After the transfers of Kim Min Jae and Eljif Elmas, the transfer of Oosterwolde would not be a surprise for me.

[imamusma]

Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia are very quality young players, if both of them leave of course it will be difficult for Napoli to find replacements who are equal to them, but on the other hand, these two players also need a better team to boost their careers, so I think it is better for Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia went to a better team.

I believe Antonio Conte knows how to build a Napoli team, management just needs to give him trust and support and it is better for players who no longer wholeheartedly play for Napoli to leave, like Osimhen.
Every coach needs a different type of player, as does Antonio Conte, he needs the player he wants to build the team he currently wants, namely Lukaku.

We can imagine that if Napoli lost Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia in one transfer window, Conte would find it difficult to boost Napoli performance next season. In my opinion, Conte should ask the club president to keep these two players, at least for one more season. We are aware that many clubs are interested in signing them both, and they will be the hottest property in this summer transfer window. Apart from that, if Napoli management does not have the same vision as Conte in building squad depth, it is not surprising that they will fail to compete in the top four of the standings. Even though Conte will need time to adapt in his first season, the task is not too difficult, because Napoli is only focused on domestic competitions, it should be easier for them to recover.

[RockBell]

Apart from that, Lukaku is still unable to provide maximum performance due to the impact of the injury he received. With this, Lukaku should have built a new business to prepare for his retirement and enjoy the new business with his beloved family. In every match he participates in, Lukaku only plays his role in his position without having to force himself to score a goal. This shows that Lukaku's performance on the field is no longer optimal.

The age at which lukaku is, contributes a lot to his career, is just as if he is seriously depreciating and is no longer in shape to perform. And been at that age what do we expect from his performance. Their is nothing that kills a player the more than going through lots of injuries. They don't want to always agree that they are getting weak and they need to retire because at this point they have lived a good life while playing look at players like we know them already and they refuse to retire for s reason i don't know why. The problem is even if Lukaku forces him self to want to score he will keep missing chance am very sure of that. Lukaku was once an excellent player but is just is tenure as an excellent player is already coming to an end. The best thing is for him to plan his retirement and go and retire.

As he has brought a winner manager he has to do that. Conte is one of the great managers with immediate effect. I think we will watch a way better Napoli next season.

Of course if Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia leaves, Napoli will need two good strikers which I believe that was why Conte needs Lukaku to replace Osimhen but the problem currently is that no club have accept to pay the price Napoli is asking for Osimhen. Kvaratskhelia I don't know much about the club that is interested in him.

Selling those two players will be profitable to Napoli and Conte can use his managerial skills to get players that are not expensive but can still do the job in order to balance the team performance. Conte is a good coach and I am expecting the best from him next season.

Juventus must bring in more reliable players, even though currently the players they have already have reliable talent, but look at Juventus' defense this season, it looks very sad.
I agree with you that in the coming season Juventus has a big target to return to its glory days and all of this must be done in accordance with the club's plan which will build a club better prepared to face obstacles in the Champions League and Serie A.

For example, at the start of this season Juventus appeared impressive but lost consistency at the end of the season.
This is an example that consistency must also be maintained to provide success to the club and Thiago Motta's task is to further study what Juventus needs to return to performing with high consistency.

Bringing in great players is every club's dream but the problem is that Juventus doesn't have enough budget to get these players, so what they do is compete without forcing themselves meaning they understand their abilities. For next season I think the situation will still be the same Juventus is only able to compete for the top 4 or tickets to the Champions League and we don't know how long they will be in this situation.

There is nothing that can be done too far for Juventus, which was seen as stagnant enough last season to rely on the composition of its players. Likewise, preparations for next season are not very promising, if it continues like this, it is possible that Juventus' position could continue to be threatened by other teams who are starting to be aggressive in the transfer market. Serie A is still about trophies where the competition is quite tight Inter, Milan, Juventus and Atalanta. Maybe next season there should be more positive developments from Bologna, Roma and Napoli. Juventus needs to make improvements because they are not always in a safe position in this ranking.

Atalanta have signed defender Ben Godfrey from Everton for an undisclosed fee

Source: @Atalanta_BC

I understand why Europa League winners are trying to improve the defense. From all the teams that have finished in a position from where they will be able to participate in the Champions League competition, basically from position one to five, they have conceded the second most number of goals this season most probably 42 goals. This 26 year old defender is going to increase the depth of the defense of the team with Marten de Roon, Davide Zappacosta, Gianpaolo Bellini. So the Atalanta will have a better time defending. he is also 26 years old, so it is near the prime time of his career I will say. A good decision overall in my opinion.

Last season we saw Inter Milan perform well in Italian league as well if we consider last season pre season performance but Inter Milan was quite successful. In the 2022/23 season we saw Inter Milan play Manchester City in the Champions League final, although Inter Milan created many chances to win the match and ended up losing by just one goal to Manchester City. If we consider Inter Milan's domestic league performance last season, Inter Milan was at the top of the points table alone, surpassing all other teams in the Italian league. However, we thought that Juventus would compete with Inter Milan, but Juventus's position came after Milan, which means that they could not fulfill the expectations that we had for Juventus. Inter Milan will certainly have tough competition from Juventus and AC Milan next season and I would love to see a new team celebrate the league title.

No doubt, Inter Milan performed well in season 2023/24 after winning Scudetto with many points left from Milan remaining 19 points and recently more than 24 points but Inter Milan not perform well after success become the winner with many matches left.
The Serie A competition not quit compete behind the points gap between first and second standing team its not only first season but also last season when Napoli become the winner have 16 points left from Lazio as runner up standings finish.

Recently on the first half of season 2023/24, Juventus become most compete team give huge pressure for Inter Milan and leaded the first standings position awhile, but second half their performance inconsistent and loss many crucial points have dropped until fourth position standings make Milan finish as 2nd place.

Inter Milan have finished the last few seasons with good results in other tournaments including the local league so they will be very confident in the upcoming season especially they will definitely want to retain the title of the local league tournament next season. Next season in the local league, Inter Milan should be blocked by teams like AC Milan, Juventus Roma. If the same team wins the title repeatedly every season then it becomes a lot like France league because in France league we consistently see PSG win the league title every season. Last season Inter Milan secured the title by a big margin, expect Juventus or AC Milan to be champions next season.

It is easier to mention than to be achieved. If clubs like the AC Milan, Juventus and AS Roma, wants to take the league like Inter Milan have done, then they must take up the responsibility of doing that else they won't be able to move an inch close to the titles. Unlike the French league, the Italian league as more competitive grounds with the following clubs we've mentioned above and how they would have equally worked for their success but what we saw was nothing to be impressed with as far as the Italian competition is concerned. If Juventus and AC Milan wants to shine or even outshine the efforts made by the Inter Milan, they have all the ability and responsibilities to do that

Serie A is not only about Inter, Juventus, Milan and AS Roma, because there are still other teams that also have the chance to get good results nextseason such as Napoli and Atalanta and there are still several other teams too. Therefore, in basically the competition in the Serie A standings will be very interesting but anyway,  when there is one team that manages to dominate the season, then in that season the title race becomes not so competitive. But even so, of course the competition for the lower positions will still be an interesting competition. Therefore, I don't think it matters if Inter are still able to dominate the league, because the competition for the other positions will still be very interesting.

We will see together how the efforts of each of the clubs you mentioned are next season because without a good revival, of course Inter Milan will dominate the Italian League again and could win the trophy again next season. That is why clubs like AC Milan, Juventus and AS Roma need to rise to be able to stop Inter Milan's progress next season so that one of them can become champions and Inter Milan cannot dominate the Italian League quite easily next season.

About Victor Oshime, I have read countless news and speculations about the movement of Victor Oshime but I haven't really seen a club making advances to get him into their club.
No, Khivicha Kvaratskhelia is different, Napoli will be sending a new offer to him in the next couple of weeks so they can take him down. Antonio Conte has already said he will be backing the Georgian International to stay one more season and even more with Napoli. He has a good work rate and will have a good time working under Antonio Conte next season.

Hopefully, they don't have a relationship that ended the same way they did with Spalletti.

Antonio Conte has a good knowledge of how the football goes in Scudetto Seria A Competition next season. Romelu Lukaku should also be the name most likely to replace Victor Oshime if he finally leaves this very season.

Serie A is not only about Inter, Juventus, Milan and AS Roma, because there are still other teams that also have the chance to get good results nextseason such as Napoli and Atalanta and there are still several other teams too. Therefore, in basically the competition in the Serie A standings will be very interesting but anyway,  when there is one team that manages to dominate the season, then in that season the title race becomes not so competitive. But even so, of course the competition for the lower positions will still be an interesting competition. Therefore, I don't think it matters if Inter are still able to dominate the league, because the competition for the other positions will still be very interesting.

The competition in Serie A has increased considerably today compared to 5 seasons ago which was indeed the scudetto was only dominated by Juventus at that time, but after all the problems that befell Juventus, of course, now Juventus can no longer dominate Serie A and make other teams in Serie A can compete and win the scudetto in the last few seasons,  If we pay attention in the last few seasons, of course we can see how fierce the competition is in Serie A, not only from big teams such as Intermilan, Juventus, Roma and Milan but indeed currently Atlanta, Napoli and several teams that were considered mediocre before have actually been quite strong in the competition for the Scudetto and the Champions League zone.

Currently, many Italian teams are starting to dare to play modern football by recruiting top coaches and also bringing in top players, so it is indeed our hope that next season we can see Serie A more competitive and be able to provide an interesting spectacle for us not only from big teams but also from low-tier teams.

Therefore, I don't think it matters if Inter are still able to dominate the league, because the competition for the other positions will still be very interesting.

Season by season, Inter, Juventus and Milan are the most dominance team for winning Scudetto every season except last two season when Napoli make us shocked after success get dominance in Serie A for the first time. In this season, Inter Milan had performed well leading the first standings place and become the winner with several matches left.
I don't think difference for next season possibility Inter Milan or Juventus with their new manager Thiago Motta will dominance for winning scudetto although Antonio Conte as new Napoli manager will make more competitive for Serie A tittle race.

I think Serie A can be more competitive than the French League. In fact, in the last few seasons, not only Inter Milan has won the Serie A title. This is different from the French League where PSG has dominated the league for years. No other club is at the same level as PSG. This is different in Serie A. You can choose AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus or even Napoli as your favorite. I'm sure people won't choose Monaco or Brest as favorites to win. This shows that Serie A is more exciting to watch because they have several big teams who have a long history.

Juventus must bring in more reliable players, even though currently the players they have already have reliable talent, but look at Juventus' defense this season, it looks very sad.

For next season I think the situation will still be the same Juventus is only able to compete for the top 4 or tickets to the Champions League and we don't know how long they will be in this situation.

Juventus still have some good players, what I feel is missing is the ability to manage them properly to achieve the results they want. I know some of the players, Paul Pogba, have not been in their best form, but the have promising young stars like Samuel Iling-Junior, Timothy Weah, Dušan Vlahović and Moise Kean. If these bright stars are properly managed, I'm sure Juve will be able to put up a strong team for the next season. The must not sign some big names to make impact, after all Bayern Leverkusen did a wonderful job last season with no notable big name, just their regular players.

[tygeade]

Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia are very quality young players, if both of them leave of course it will be difficult for Napoli to find replacements who are equal to them, but on the other hand, these two players also need a better team to boost their careers, so I think it is better for Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia went to a better team.

I believe Antonio Conte knows how to build a Napoli team, management just needs to give him trust and support and it is better for players who no longer wholeheartedly play for Napoli to leave, like Osimhen.
Every coach needs a different type of player, as does Antonio Conte, he needs the player he wants to build the team he currently wants, namely Lukaku.

Yes, Conte definitely knows how to win and he is a great manager and I think even better manager than Napoli deserves so there will be no problem there. However, I am not entirely sure if the management/ownership will let him do whatever he wants and sell anyone he wants and buy anyone he wants. Building a team is tough, and it requires money, and if he just sells players and get new ones, and if he is wrong, that is not something you can revert back that easily.

So, they can't afford him making mistakes at player movements and will restrict him if they think he is making a mistake. Of course moves that both side agrees will be done quickly, but if one side disagrees then it can go for a very long time and maybe not even happen.
