Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Cryptoprincess101]

So far, Osimhen's future is certain to remain at Napoli because no team is serious about asking for him at a price that is too high. It is true that there are teams that want Osimhen's services, including several teams from the EPL, but so far there has been no concrete decision regarding this desire. That way, it is certain that Osimhen will stay at Napoli and Osimhen will even play in pre-season.

I don't think Victor Osimhen is comfortable playing at Napoli anymore but for the fact that no team have been able to sign him implies that he's left with no option than to stay at Napoli possibly next season other clubs may come looking for him. Last season, Osimhen was not that consistent as he used to be due to some injuries the Nigerian striker suffered but he is still a tactical player that most teams will want to join their squad. He should just make up his mind at Napoli and make quality contributions to the team in that way he will become more visible for other clubs to find him worthy of signing, I'm not saying that he is not being impressive but for him to gain more recognition by other big teams that's the area am talking of.

Even though Antonio Conte himself is reportedly willing to let Osimhen go to another team, perhaps it is because the striker does not suit his strategy that he insists on bringing in Lukaku.

I don't think Antonio Conte has any problem with Victor Osimhen so even if he brings in Romelu Lukaku it's still not a bad decision but I prefer Victor Osimhen to Lukaku because Osimhen is more of a tactical player than Lukaku.

Even though Antonio Conte himself is reportedly willing to let Osimhen go to another team, perhaps it is because the striker does not suit his strategy that he insists on bringing in Lukaku.

I'm not supporting Osimhen and I still don't know what's interesting about Lukaku, even though sometimes he plays well but sometimes he plays badly, why doesn't Conte keep Osimhen again in the new season to become a player who can be expected to bring new changes for Napoli again next season, we will never know in the Conte era the new season will come, who knows, Napoli will play as well as the previous season where they can get the Serie A trophy with good results. Conte must be able to save several other players so he can rotate players when there are injuries, of course he will not lack players on the front line if Osimhen is still at Napoli.  

[Palakka]

25 years old Nigerian international is surely still have great potential to give his best with his skills and quality and Napoli is surely wanting to keep him or let go with the price which is determined by the Napoli president but sadly right now no club is having enough sources to spend this amount because they are feeling due to poor performance in last season things can go wrong for them as well even he is still first choice for the Antonio Conte, but he is not insisting for his stay which is interesting.

We have few offers for him from the Premier League clubs, but these were not as Napoli were having target so they rejected these with this now most chances we will have Osimhen here at the Napoli for another club which could be interesting, and we can expect good performance at the top from this club which will create good competition for the title.

Osimhen has been Napoli's mainstay all this time to destroy the defenses of all their opponents, it cannot be denied that Osimhen is one of the most important players and contributed greatly to Napoli winning the Scudetto in the 2022/23 season, but now he is a hot asset who continues to there has been speculation by the media about the issue of his move to another team in the summer,previously PSG stated that they were interested in bringing in Osimhen and Osimhen also openly stated his desire to move to another better team, but for some reason we haven't heard of an approach that is sufficient by PSG to serious recruiting Osimhen as a replacement for Mbappe next season.

I don't know what happened, but I think currently Osimhen fate at Napoli seems to have no clarity after Napoli also included him in one of the players list to sell, actually Osimhen has a lot of interest from big European teams but in the end the club one by one chose to withdraw after Napoli set a high price for osimhen, currently it is even reported that Osimhen will move to an Arab club after many European teams have withdrawn and strengthened with the issue that stated that Al Ahli ready to activated the osimhen release clause.

Therefore, I also find it strange that Conte is more interested in Lukaku, while if Conte keeps Osimhen then of course that will also be good for the long term because Osimhen age is certainly better than Lukaku. Indeed, Conte has his own views and assessments about Lukaku, but considering that other teams focus on building teams with young squads, but it seems that Conte is more interested in building teams with old squads. I don't care about Lukaku success with Conte in the past, because what is clear, the era or moment has changed and Conte also needs to build a Napoli squad for the long term, and not just hope for short-lived success but after that the team becomes destroyed.

Isn't only tied to the performance of his club Napoli alone, but also tied to his individual performances in both the country and in the club side as well, because during the African Cup of  nation , many fans and supporters believed/expected Osimhen to have done incredibly well in that competition and help Nigeria in lifting the trophy, but he performed way far below expectations and couldn't help Nigeria out in the nation's cup competition, I believe that helped drop his rating and market value.

Osimhen did performed well at the AFCON, but he wasn't have a perfect blend for team mates which will mean he may not be able to perform beyond the teams capacity, a typical example can be seen with Ronaldo who alone couldn't help Portugal get to win world cup of even having a very spectacular and brilliant performance in the Euro 2024, a single player cannot get his team delivered all the time if not provided with the necessary help he needs to perform optimally. In Napoli his first season was very awesome, then he got all the support but in the most recent season, there were issues surrounding his presence in that team and the need to leave became paramount which may have been a very paramount factor to why his performance dropped.

...
The following is a list of players who have been successfully brought in by Inter Milan in the transfer market this season, namely:

1. Davide Frattesi
2. Carlos Augusto
3. Marko Arnautovic
4. Piotr Zielinski
5. Mehdi Taremi
...

In this list I already see two very good players, I see Arnautovic who had a very good season and I also see Frattesi, another very good player.
I don't understand if they will play as starters or as reserves, I would have liked to see Arnautovic on the pitch and not on the bench.
But Inzaghi knows well what to do, he probably needs them for the turnover.

By selling Osimhen, Napoli management wants to earn big amount of money. And that's probably why Conte isn't showing interest in Osimhen right now. Napoli won't have to spend a fortune on Lukaku. Moreover, Lukaku is a very talented player. If Conte uses Lukaku properly, Lukaku will be able to score a lot of goals.

I don't think Conte has a long-term plan for the Napoli squad right now. Skoda would have tried to add young players like Osimhen if they had planned for the long term. Conte wants to keep the performance of the Napoli team stable in the next season. Lukaku's performance with Roma was quite good. Moreover, next season Napoli will probably be aiming to be in the top four of the table. Napoli do not have a strong squad to win the title.

Udinese will have new manager next season because it says Kosta Runjaic has been agree to handled this team and he was replace Udinese previous manager Fabio Cannavaro and actually i was hope Udinese will give new contract to Fabio Cannavaro because he was successfully to bringing Udinese to avoiding relegation zone and actually Fabio Cannavaro arrived to this team when Serie A has only 6 matches left and his task is very hard at that time because Fabio Cannavaro should be able to bringing Udinese to survive in Serie A and he can reach the target from Udinese owner and now Udinese will still playing at Serie A for next season

Udinese has decide to do major changes for next season because they don't fight to avoiding relegation zone anymore so that's why they were hire Kosta Runjaic and i didn't really know about Kosta Runjaic track records as a manager but if i am not mistaken last time he was train Poland team Legia Warszawa for 2 years but at this team Kosta Runjaic cannot able to bringing Legia Warszawa to gets major trophies on Poland league and besides that this is his first time to train Serie A team

[dezoel]

If I remember correctly Marko Arnautovic is a player who played for Bologna as a striker and wasn't bad at all.
Bologna now finds itself without a coach and without its best striker, I don't see the Emilian team doing well from this point of view. We will see.

This is big problems for the clubs which are having average finances and after spending years in middle and lower half of league table if they are able to have better results at the end of the season they fail to keep their spot with lost of players for big clubs and coach bring terrible problems currently same happening for the Bologna which is having impressive end of the season and now having good chance of going for the Champions League, but they are lost their coach and top players which were key for the success.

Due to this, all know this is going to be problematic season for them with most chances we can have in danger zone as well because we have many times like this in past as well with the teams which lost their important players during better time.

[Leviathan.007]

During the last two seasons in Serie A, Inter Milan had good performances nad especially in the last season when they won the Serie A title with a huge gap with the other teams, but they still want to get the team improved and that's why they want to hire Josep Martínez from Genoa.
Inter Milan hired Josep Martínez and they are ready to pay 15 million euros for this goalkeeper. Josep Martínez can be stable and a good goalkeeper for Genoa considering his age and his performance.

If Osimhen is still in Napoli he will perform his duty as the top striker because that is what he is being paid for. Lukaku will not be able to come over because it will be an additional expenses when no profit have come into the club's purse.

Osimhen might not leave Napoli soon only if after the end of the ongoing competitions, other clubs show interest on him. Arsenal is no longer interested in Osimhen even after Napoli reduced the price. He should accept whatever comes his way and move on with his life in Napoli till his time will come to leave the club.

Conte interest in Lukaku indicates that Osimhen is unlikely to stay for next season. The situation could change if interested clubs are unwilling to meet Osimhen release clause. De Laurentiis has set a price tag of 130 million euros for anyone who wants Osimhen. It seems that only Saudi Pro League clubs are willing to take serious action, but Osimhen is still considering not leaving Europe. A more plausible reason is that Napoli needs a large budget to build squad depth, and selling Osimhen is a step to smooth their transfer window plans. After a poor season finishing 10th in the Serie A standings and failing to qualify for the Champions League, Napoli revenue has clearly decreased drastically. Therefore, the Napoli management is forced to let go of its best asset, which sounds more acceptable in my opinion.

Honestly, Juventus needs more quality players to add and strengthen the performance of their squad. It has been noticed all the while that the squad is not fully of quality players that can fight better for trophies. Let's just imagine what really happened last season: Juventus started early in the season strong, but during the middle of the season, their performance started declining even without their key players suffering from injuries. That is a sign that the Juventus squad is not good enough to fight for trophies. So, it is a very good idea if the coach can make some changes in the team to improve their performance and enable them to fight more for trophies. It has been a while since Juventus won the Serie A competition trophy.

After having new coach now we are watching too many changes in Juventus which are good enough for them with as things are going we are going to have some good performance in coming season even most chances we will have no challenge for the Inter Milan as they are having enough sources for keeping things at the top but as we have Juventus preparing things are going to be interesting with AC Milan and Napoli are also trying to keep things tight for the challenge of title.

In last season we have good start for the Juventus but in second half of the season things gone wrong just because of this we have Allegri lost his job now having new coach and some good changes which are going to help them in defense and attack we can expect good improvement in performance with consistency is also important if they want to have all in for the title race with top clubs.

Osimhen was a great player who used all his efforts to get his place at the club and his performance was one which was praiseworthy only that I feel his efforts were not well banked on by the management as they did not do well to glorify his efforts much more that they should. What I can encourage the Napoli management to do this time around is to fully recognize him for what he's made off and should also work towards strengthening their team work and squad depth.

Earning enormous profits is definitely the goal of the team's management but there's a whole lot going on currently. The newly assigned headcoach of Napoli, Antonio Conte will deliver his team in term of challenges, one of the major reasons why Aurelio De Laurentiis brought him to Diego Maradona stadium, to levelled the facing problems which consider to be severe over these past seasons without Luciano Spalleti incharge.

Napoli will continue to drive for excellent results without relenting, they are also consider weak based on their incompetent action in the previous season. They will scout for more promising players and bring out the very best performance in them, it's very certain it will happen.

The best for Osimhen is to remain in Napoli because the guy has so suffering injuries, but I think the it will more fill comfortable in Napoli than going to another clubs now. Because with his currently situations now even thought they has been getting sign to any clubs, it will no make any perfect perform is not now that Osimhen is no longer having a good perform due to his terrible injuries that come to him time to times Osimhen is a better striker he make the team become very standard.

Yeah I'm sure that before the next to come they will looking for Osimhen, because is not that the has already the form he is still a good strength perform so better 💪 people's are seeing him now that due to that him got from the Nigeria striker suffer, but him still have a capacity to bring defferences charges for Napoli.

[TelolettOm]

I don't think Antonio Conte has any problem with Victor Osimhen so even if he brings in Romelu Lukaku it's still not a bad decision but I prefer Victor Osimhen to Lukaku because Osimhen is more of a tactical player than Lukaku.

Negotiations between Napoli and Osimhen were quite tough regarding him being a high-rated player in Serie A. There was no problem between Osimhen and their new coach, Conte, it's just that Napoli's conditions required them to let go of their mainstay player. Meanwhile, Napoli needed other costs, especially after they signed Conte, who is also a high-rate coach in Serie A. Like it or not, because negotiations were like that, and Osimhen also wanted to leave, Napoli decided to sell Osimhen. It's just that so far price negotiations with several clubs have been quite tough. It is possible that Osimhen will eventually go to Chelsea with the option of a swap deal for Lukaku. However, the negotiations are still not that smooth, so this has made Napoli reduce the release clause.

Therefore, I also find it strange that Conte is more interested in Lukaku, while if Conte keeps Osimhen then of course that will also be good for the long term because Osimhen age is certainly better than Lukaku. Indeed, Conte has his own views and assessments about Lukaku, but considering that other teams focus on building teams with young squads, but it seems that Conte is more interested in building teams with old squads. I don't care about Lukaku success with Conte in the past, because what is clear, the era or moment has changed and Conte also needs to build a Napoli squad for the long term, and not just hope for short-lived success but after that the team becomes destroyed.

In my own opinion, the idea of signing Lukaku is caused by the issue of Osimhen's departure. Conte must prefer Osimhen because Osimhen is the machine goal of Napoli who is proven some years there. Osimhen also always becomes the player who score most goals in Napoli every season. The number of Osimhen's goals last season was also better than Lukaku. So, there is no reason that Conte assumes Lukaku is a better option. However, if Osimhen really leaves Napoli, Conte must have the replacement. Lukaku seems the easiest player to sign because he won't stay in Chelsea and its transfer fees should be cheap enough. Chelsea and Lukaku are ready for the negotiation, the transfer fees is only €30m.

Speculation about Osimhen future is still full of question marks, with several clubs currently waiting for De Laurentiis to lower Osimhen price. The figure set by De Laurentiis is considered very high, it is considered not in accordance with Osimhen performance last season, the injury he experienced caused his goal productivity to drop drastically. For now, it seems that only SPG is showing the most serious interest in recruiting Osimhen.

De Laurentiis should speed up Osimhen transfer process, if they really want to let him go to another club, so that their plans to recruit other players can proceed more quickly. The aim is to give Conte more time to prepare the team, which could affect their chances of competing next season.

Conte has a lot of work to do, the previous three managers left a lot of chaos in the team. I think Conte has the tactical qualities to lead Napoli to compete in the top four of the standings next season. Napoli efforts to release Osimhen and recruit Lukaku are likely to come true, they have to do it quickly.

Victor Oshimen has a fairly expensive selling price before his performance continues to decline and his price continues to decrease, the management wants to immediately release this player so that he can get a big profit and can buy player at a cheaper price. It is known that Victor Oshimen's current price is around 100 million euros, while Romelu's price Lukaku is around 40 million euros so the management can secure some profits to recruit more players if needed.

In my opinion, Lukaku's performance is also quite good. This player seems suited to playing in Serie A rather than in the EPL. In fact, he is the player who has contributed the most to Roma. If he was at Napoli, he could replace Oshimen's role if this player was really sold by the club.


Romelu Lukaku- Napoli
The news says that Lukaku has actually shown his interest in joining Napoli, but yes, this is still just a rumor and the truth is not yet known.

[Gallar]

Sassuolo is one of the clubs that we will not see again in Serie A next season, because they have to go to Serie B after they were unable to compete last season and made them relegated. They were only able to collect 30 points from the 38 matches they played last season, with statistics of 7 wins, 9 draws and 22 defeats. 30 points is not enough to make them survive in Serie A.

Usually they are in the middle of the standings, but last season their decline was very drastic and they had to struggle at the bottom of the standings and in the end they were unable to save themselves in order to survive in the highest caste of Italian football. It's quite unfortunate to see that they have been in Serie A for 11 years. Now they have to fight again next season to be promoted to Serie A again. Supporters must be disappointed, but they must continue to provide support in Serie B.

Yes, it is quite unfortunate that Sassuolo had to be relegated from Serie A. However, it cannot be denied that Sassuolo's performance this season is not good, which is the reason Sassuolo will be relegated to Serie B next season. If you look at Sassuolo's footsteps in Serie A this decade, Sassuolo often finishes in the middle of the Serie A standings. However, if you look further into the 2015-2016 season, at that time Sassuolo was able to perform quite well and was able to finish in 6th place in the Serie A standings. However After that season Sassuolo never finished in 6th place again, but only finished in the top 15. However, I am still quite impressed with Sassuolo's stable performance over several seasons. Maybe if Sassuolo had more funds to buy better players and coaches, I'm sure they would be able to compete with the big teams in Serie A. But for now, Sassuolo basically has to be able to improve its performance. Because if Sassuolo could improve its performance Again, of course it will not be difficult for Sassuolo to return to promotion to Serie A.

Apart from that, currently there are 3 teams that have successfully promoted from Serie B to Serie A. These teams are

• Parma
• Como 1907
• Venezia

I don't know for sure whether these three teams will last long or not in Serie A. However, what is certain is that among these three teams there will definitely be one or two teams that will provide a surprise in Serie A next season.
