Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Rampagoe004]

My favorite clubs that I will support to win the match include Bologna, Roma, Inter, Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Lazio and Fiorentina.
It's too early to say at the moment but my preference won't change once the match is played

I also don't doubt that they will win that game. The club you mentioned is a big club and everyone's favorite. I think they will be able to win their first game. But the matches I want to watch are Juventus vs Como, Parma vs Fiorentina and Lazio vs Venezia. I know Juventus, Fiorentina and Lazio will be easy wins for them but I want to see how the promoted clubs in Serie B play and prepare for the Serie A competition.

Premier leagues competition isn't such that Can be handled by lukaku well enough after all these season of absence in the premier league. The serie A do have a better league that lukaku can cope with going by the intensity of the competition in the this league, standing in as a replacement for osimhen, he may not perfectly fit at the moment but may in the long term, osimhens price going down because of is performance, to me feels like a tactics to leave Napoli after which he may do better at his new place if he gets a transfer deal.

Returning Lukaku to Serie A is like feeding an old lion a tasty steak. Despite playing in other leagues, he thrives in Serie A. Napoli grabbing him with Osimhen already there is powerful. Think of it as a tag team of animals with diverse skills ready to crush opponents. Lukaku now plays with finesse and expertise, not speed. This move changes Napoli's game

Osimhen's worth has dropped, but who cares? The transfer market is a rollercoaster. Players go up, they go down, it's the circle of life, bro. The guy is still a beast on the field and will kill it wherever he goes

Apart from the fact that Napoli wants to make some profits from selling Victor Osimhen but they should also know that Osimhen helped them to win the Scudetto in the 2022/2023 season and he's currently the club's most valuable player of which he deserves to be an expensive signing but since no club have been able to meet the demand of Napoli to sign him, Osimhen should still remain with the club.

As for Lukaku, i don't think he can play the role of Victor Osimhen because we have seen him play for Inter Milan on loan in 2022 and also moved to Roma on loan in 2023 and I believe that if he has made good contributions to those teams one among them would have considered signing him to their team. I'm not saying that he is not a good player, he is but he's just an average player and cannot be too relied on to deliver for Napoli. However, he can't handle the role of Victor Osimhen.

You don't know that, ( As per Romelu Lukaku ). As much as the manager ( Antonio Conte ) wants him, believe me your opinions do not count and are not viewed as important. He has a good relationship with the coach and would also want to see himself working together again with Antonio Conte. I believe they must jave made contact via phone call or WhatsApp messages already. Also, as much as Romelu Lukaku gets enough ball services, he'll be able to score enough goals and make contributions to Napoli. The way you talk about him, one would think he is a finished product and player. I'm not just cool with his heavy touch and one leg as a striker.


As for Victor Oshime, Chelsea should make a swap deal for Victor Oshime and Romelu Lukaku, what I'm saying is player plus cash as it'll be the fastest way to make this deal work. Despite the history together, Victor Oshime wants to move on fully. He has done his part for Napoli.
Him staying would be nice but if a move to Chelsea or Arsenal can be possible, then so be it.

Paul Pogba has done an interview recently talking about his future after testing positive for doping.

Sky Sports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8e4Ftq-jPk

He says that he is still not finished and hasn't decided to retire. He is a really interesting personality first of all. Because a short time before this interview, I remember him saying like he doesn't want people to expect anything from him from now on. But now he says this.    We are talking about a 4-year ban from professional football. I don't think he will return. Even if he does it would be like signing for Saudi Arabia teams for money.

He could still play the game of football at a top level, he is currently hundred percent fit and should be the strongest player right now, whichever club he would play for after this four years ban would definitely enjoy him honestly. Take a look at players be still playing at the age of 41 and I remember players who retired and also came back outbfor retirement to still play and win a trophy or two. Whenever I look at the France squad in the current Euros ongoing, process hat I see missing is chances created and most of these chances comes from Paul Pogba. Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Greezman would have definitely benefited from him as whole lot.

Osimhen's worth has dropped, but who cares? The transfer market is a rollercoaster. Players go up, they go down, it's the circle of life, bro. The guy is still a beast on the field and will kill it wherever he goes

Strikers with playing style depends on physical strength like Lukaku and Osimhen usually have more difficulty when they get older and their bodies become weaker. Playing styles of Osimhen and Lukaku are easy for defenders to guess and make their defensive plans. The match between Italy and Belgium in Euro 2020 is an example when Chiellini and Bonucci controlled Lukaku very well with their defensive experience.

Lukaku's speed and playing style does not match with Premier League but in Serie A, with lower match intensity, Lukaku can adapt well and play better.

Osimhen used to be a most wanted striker in Europe 2 seasons ago but after the last season, a failure of Napoli to defend their Scudetto and not too good individual performance of Osimhen, his transfer price drops a lot.

You don't know that, ( As per Romelu Lukaku ). As much as the manager ( Antonio Conte ) wants him, believe me your opinions do not count and are not viewed as important. He has a good relationship with the coach and would also want to see himself working together again with Antonio Conte.

Antonio Conte used Lukaku very good in Inter Milan and together they won one Scudetto. Conte is a big fan of Lukaku and with uncertain future of Lukaku in Chelsea, nearly no chance to return to Chelsea, Conte has many reasons to ask Napoli make a bid on Lukaku and convince Chelsea to agree it.

With Lukaku's performances last season for Roma in Serie A and for Belgium in Euro 2024, we can see that he can make contributions in goals and in assists or as a boycott.

Lukaku is a player who can comfortably play in Serie A competition, so wherever he plays as long as he is in Serie A, I think it will be fine. Unlike when he had to go to Chelsea in the Premier League, he seemed to have more difficulty adapting, although this also happened partly because of the injury he experienced. However, when he was loaned to his original team before Chelsea bought him, he immediately performed well and even when he went to As Roma, who became his next temporary team, he also performed well.

Now he will go to Napoli and I think that will be fine, especially the current Napoli coach who really wants Lukaku. This means that Antonio Conte already understands what he has to do with Lukaku so that he can appear productive in Napoli's attack next season. If he can show good things at Napoli, then it will confirm that he is indeed suitable for Serie A.

Yes that's right. Lukaku seems very suitable to play in Serie A, this is his umpteenth season in Serie A and most likely next season he will play for Napoli. Of course, his presence at Napoli will strengthen and sharpen his front line. You could say that Napoli is building a new strength after Conte arrived. He wants to make Napoli a challenger in the race for the Serie A trophy next season.

In fact, AC Milan was also interested in Lukaku, but Lukaku chose Napoli because Lukaku and Conte had a history of successful collaboration while at Inter Milan, where at that time Lukaku showed his best performance under the tutelage of coach Conte. So, because this relationship is the determining factor that made Lukaku choose Napoli over other clubs and Conte also hopes that Lukaku can still give the best for Napoli.

[Leviathan.007]

I think Osimhen is still one of Napoli's best players. Maybe they brought in Lukaku and hoped to make the attack line better. Lukaku still has a lot of potential in Serie A but I think it would be better for Napoli to be able to keep Osimhen. Osimhen is younger than Lukaku and he still has the potential to develop even better. Even though his grades have dropped, if you look at his individual record I think Osimhen is still very good. Unfortunately, Napoli played badly this season, so this has caused Osimhen's market value to decrease.

Yes you are right I also think Osimhen is still very important player for Napoli. He is young and has a lot of potential which makes him very valuable. By the way Napoli brought in Lukaku to improve their attack I think it is important for them to keep Osimhen. Despite his recent struggles Osimhen is still a skilled player with good track record. Napoli poor performance this season has hurt Osimhen reputation, but I believe he can regain his form and achieve even more. It is smart for Napoli to keep him and use his talents instead of relying only on Lukaku.

Osimhen is the most important player for Napoli however they extend the contract of this player but he doesn't want to stay there anymore and he prefers to leave. There are some possible destinations for him to play there in the next season. However, I think Conte doesn't want to lose Osimhen at all but the offers he gets can make him move because they are ready to pay a huge amount of money for him.
The bad relationship between Osimhen and Napoli started after Napoli posted something about Osimhen and this made Osimhen mad about his team.

If he can show good things at Napoli, then it will confirm that he is indeed suitable for Serie A.

Of course Lukaku is a player whose talent is already visible, but because he doesn't fit in when he's in the Premier League, maybe it's because he doesn't feel comfortable in the Premier League so he seems to have difficulty adapting, but it's true that with him being in Serie A he looks his performance is more visible, maybe that's because he's more suited to being in Serie A, so it could be said that whatever team he stops by or stays in, but it's still in Serie A, maybe his talent will be seen, but even though he's suitable for Serie A, if he's already very talented, he must be able to adapt to other leagues because that is one of the steps for him to become more advanced.
with Antonio Conte really wanting Lukaku, of course he has high hopes for Lukaku so that he can perform better, and of course Antonio Conte will train Lukaku as well as possible so that he can become a player who plays a big role and has a big influence. Lukaku's performance is more visible in Serie A. I think he can show his best, including adapting, maybe it will be easy for him.

But now he says this.    We are talking about a 4-year ban from professional football. I don't think he will return. Even if he does it would be like signing for Saudi Arabia teams for money.

Even though it's hard to imagine him playing well when his sentence is over, I applaud his confidence and determination. When his sentence is over, he will be around 35 Y.O. and these days we still see many footballers playing professionally at big clubs. Cristiano, Messi & Ibrahimovic for example. Even though it wouldn't be for long, at least he would still be playing for some time, SPL seems suitable & right for him.

Finally, the face of Juventus' new goalkeeper has emerged and Michele Di Gregorio has received a contract until 2029. This is a long-term contract that Juventus has taken and as it should be, he will be a mainstay for several years to come. Juventus really prioritizes transfers for goalkeepers considering that they will no longer have another good goalkeeper if one day Wojciech Szczęsny leaves.

Continuing from the goalkeeper position, I think there are several positions that they have to pay attention to too and maybe they have to improve the defensive position to keep the defense stronger than before. Apart from that, they need creative midfielders to be able to move the ball better and I think they will do that soon.

[Salahmu]

I see close rumor linked Theo Hernández will join Manchester City than Bayern Munich, but he must working hard if reach agreement deal for becoming Manchester City's player for next season because on left defender side have many compete players will make him difficult get regular position such as in Milan.

I wonder why Manchester City will even go for Theo Hernández when they have a very impressive defense line because just like you explained if Theo Hernández managed to end up in Manchester City he will still have a lot to prove to the club because already they have more suitable players on that position so perhaps in as much as going to Manchester City is an interesting one but he will need to show Pep Guardiola that he is the best player for that position otherwise they may not be using him all the time in there matches because one thing about Manchester City is that there players are highly competitive among themselves which is why I consider all the Manchester City players to be very experience because Pep Guardiola is a coach that doesn't like mistakes.

However since they have more quality players that can handle those position very well they should have just focus on there strikers or they keep the money for another season because for me with the current squad of Manchester City they can achieve any trophy, though maybe Pep Guardiola has his reasons why they would need to hire Theo Hernández.

But the matches I want to watch are Juventus vs Como, Parma vs Fiorentina and Lazio vs Venezia. I know Juventus, Fiorentina and Lazio will be easy wins for them but I want to see how the promoted clubs in Serie B play and prepare for the Serie A competition.

The match for the promoted team from Serie B against tough teams from Serie A is indeed worth watching because the players from the promoted team are not all bad, although maybe they are all still a bit difficult to win because the opponents are still quite tough as you mentioned. However, I still think that the match is a match where the opponents are not quite up to par even though there is a little curiosity that makes some people want to watch it, after all we haven't watched a match in the League for a long time because what you mentioned is still a long time ago.

Apart from that, they need creative midfielders to be able to move the ball better and I think they will do that soon.

Michele Di Gregorio is Monza's mainstay goalkeeper, next season he will be part of Juventus and help Juventus navigate the new season which will be more challenging. Michele Di Gregorio is 26 years old, that is quite a young age, so it is not surprising when Juventus signed him for a long time, until 2029. He will take on a new adventure after going through a difficult time with Monza.
Apart from defense, Juventus' current need is a midfield that must be more creative in carrying out attacks and not only that, because they also have to be the first players who can cut the ball when they are attacked before entering a deeper defensive area. Currently it seems that Juventus is a little more relaxed in hunting for players in the transfer market, it seems like they don't want to make decisions in a hurry because that might be one of the reasons their transfers failed. With their big name, it shouldn't be difficult to convince good players to join.

It is difficult to continue with a 34-year-old goalkeeper, I think they made a pretty good transfer. It may not be a good choice to trust a player whose risk of injury is now increasing. Michele Di Gregorio is not very young, nor is he one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but he will be sufficient as a rotation player. Juventus also needs to strengthen its offensive side, they were one of the teams that scored the least goals in the league last season. They need to play much more offensively

Osimhen's worth has dropped, but who cares? The transfer market is a rollercoaster. Players go up, they go down, it's the circle of life, bro. The guy is still a beast on the field and will kill it wherever he goes

I disagree with your opinion. It's naive to call him a bad striker. Though Lukaku's time in Serie A is always full of drama, he deserves it. And im sure conte has a very strong reason to bring lukaku to the serie a. Lukaku played for two different teams in two seasons, and he is still very consistent with his performances.

Lukaku's stability may be a factor that attracts conte to pursue him. I meant, Conte also sees him from various perspectives. And, again, there is no good striker at Napoli other than Osimhen. It's better to bring in Lukaku, and he will compete with Osimhen for a starting spot.

If osimhen's price is continue to drop, then club will be caring about that.   In the end, buying lukaku from chelsea is not a bad option, and im sure this can be an opportunity to push osimthen to give more.

The season have not started yet and I don't think that we can use last season performance to conclude who will win their first match because some changes in players and coach have been made during the holiday. It is only Inter that I can say will win their match but the rest till I watch their games. Seria B clubs shoukd be able to perform well in order for them to stay in the league after the end of the season if not they will go back to relegation.

Lukaku's performance is more visible in Serie A. I think he can show his best, including adapting, maybe it will be easy for him.

So far, there has been no official news regarding Lukaku future, Antonio Conte is no doubt very interested in recruiting him, especially if Napoli releases Osimhen. In my opinion, Lukaku future will soon be answered, with Belgium being eliminated from the Euro 2024 tournament, Lukaku can focus on determining his future. It cannot be denied that the quality of Lukaku game is better when playing in Serie A, perhaps the Premier League is not a suitable place for his career. Chelsea are ready to reduce Lukaku price even if they have to bear big losses, and they have closed all options such as loans and swaps for Lukaku. Meanwhile, Napoli's transfer plans are not limited to Lukaku, there are several other players they are targeting in this transfer window. However, this can only be realized if Napoli succeed in releasing Osimhen, which means they will use the profits to build squad depth.

[dezoel]

Theo Hernández has rumor linked to Manchester City for next season but still not official verbal agreement deal between players and Manchester City management still not announce yet. Since leaving Real Madrid, Theo Hernández get regular position with Milan until success get one position on left winger for France national teams and always play every match in Euro 2024.
Theo Hernández become most important player for AC Milan in last several season but behind financial difficult its not bad ideas for selling him to Manchester City will opening bid offer around 60 million euro.

I see close rumor linked Theo Hernández will join Manchester City than Bayern Munich, but he must working hard if reach agreement deal for becoming Manchester City's player for next season because on left defender side have many compete players will make him difficult get regular position such as in Milan.

There is no doubt about Theo Hernández as one of the best attacking full backs who can do things for the team in crucial times, and now he is linked to Manchester City with AC Milan surely needs his more services but due to financial issues they are going to let him go with these things are pretty clear now he could be Manchester City player after Euro where he is doing impressive job for the France national team which now after beating Portugal on penalties having spot into last four against Spain.

Even Bayern Munich is also having strong link with him for possible transfer as they are also needed a player for replacement of Alphonso Davies but player Theo Hernandez is having interest in Manchester City which is also looking for the strengthening of their squad with the price tag of €80 Million its look like after Euro we will have good fight between these tow top clubs for this quality full back.

with Antonio Conte really wanting Lukaku, of course he has high hopes for Lukaku so that he can perform better, and of course Antonio Conte will train Lukaku as well as possible so that he can become a player who plays a big role and has a big influence. Lukaku's performance is more visible in Serie A. I think he can show his best, including adapting, maybe it will be easy for him.

With Lukaku's records in Serie A, it really shows that Lukaku is still a good player. He has been doing so well in this Serie A, and I have little confidence that if Lukaku can continue here in Serie A, he will really do better. Now that Antonio Conte is interested in Lukaku, I believe he sees the potential in Lukaku. If he can sign him, it will be great material that will strengthen his team squad. Antonio Conte cannot just be interested in signing an aged player if he did not see some future in him. Lukaku is an experienced player and always serious on the pitch.But the way this matter of signing Lukaku is going on now, I am not sure Antonio Conte will be able to see lukaku because it is involve a swap deal which I may say Chelsea may not like add more amount to lukaku base on the amount Napoli is placing on osimhen but let see what will happen soon.

[piebeyb]

If osimhen's price is continue to drop, then club will be caring about that.   In the end, buying lukaku from chelsea is not a bad option, and im sure this can be an opportunity to push osimthen to give more.

Osimhen should be retained instead of selling him at a cheap price, especially if his price decreases because his performance may also appear to have decreased playing with Napoli last season which didn't perform well, although Lukaku, if he can be bought, should be able to partner with Osimhen, it's not bad enough, he might even be able to make a game. can be more interesting and provide color for Napoli next season, Conte should be able to find an alternative for Osimhen, this can at least make him improve his game even better and make his performance also increase and not continue to decline so that it can make his value continue to fall.
