Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[TelolettOm]

As far as I know Chelsea only wants to sell him, there is no option for a loan. Lukaku is getting old, it becomes more difficult to sell him. I think Napoli won't have a problem to spend some money for Lukaku. Chelsea only sets his price at £37m, it is not very big amount of money. If Napoli scout could negotiate the price, it may drop to £30m. I am pretty sure Lukaku will move to Napoli if Conte is serious to sign him.

But for the Italian club it is very expensive and I think Chelsea will have to lower the price tag if they want to sell Lukaku immediately. The reason is that if Chelsea still insist on their wishes, I don't think any club will want to buy him at that price. Moreover, so far only Italian clubs have been interested in Lukaku and in the end, with their poor financial strength, most of them only dared to take out loans.

That's why, one of the top clubs that wants him, Napoli, has not yet agreed to a swap deal with Chelsea even though they want it. And vice versa, Osimhen is expected to swap-deal, aren't they both overpriced? Possible. Yes, that's right, Lukaku is quite old, this year, he is 31 years old. Moreover, with the history of injuries he has experienced since 2014, which is even more than 14 days. Even last season, since the major injury he sustained during the 2022/2023 season for 57 days, and the various series of injuries that followed, his performance has decreased considerably.

Anyway, the latest news from Napoli is their signing after Rafa Marin, namely Alessandro Buongiorno. This defender from Torino was successfully bought by Napoli for a fee of 35 million euros.

The uploading of that video was just the height of it all and that goes to show you the amount of disrespect he must have suffered while working with the club before this whole video thing came up. I can't imagine how very unprofessional and disheartening Osimhen will be after waking up to see such public embarrassment leveled against him. I also remember there was a time when Osimhen deserved to be awarded the King of Napoli title but was later to be given to Ivara.

But strangely last year Napoli and Osimhen agreed to extend the contract and we don't know if it was just Napoli's attempt to secure Osihen from leaving for free. Indeed, recently we heard that Napoli wanted to release Osimhen the reason is Napoli finances. I would prefer to see Osimhen playing in the Premier league so he knows what the real competition is like, we know that competition in the Premier League is very different from Serie A even though Osimhen has been the best in Serie A, it is not certain that he can do it in the Premier League.

It seems Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is not going to leave Napoli. He was about to join Real Madrid in the first but they didn't send him any offer and then he was about to join Barcelona but they didn't have enough money to hire Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and then he would leave Napoli anyway that's why he started negotiations with PSG while we were still under contract with Napoli.
Now his agent said he is not going to leave anymore and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will stay in Napoli and play there in the next season since Conte wants to have him in the team.

This is definitely the right choice for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Because if he joins Real Madrid, it will definitely be difficult for him to become the main player, because Real Madrid has very quality players in the left wing position, for example Vinicius Jr. Apart from that, if Khvicha Kvaratskhelia manages to join Barcelona, ​​then he will definitely have a little difficulty becoming the main player, because like Real Madrid, Barcelona also has very good players in the left wing position, for example Ferran Torres. So it was quite a good decision for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia not to leave Napoli. The reason is, under Conte's current tutelage, he will definitely remain a mainstay player at Napoli. The reason is that currently at Napoli there are no wingers who can really be relied on except Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. So Khvicha will certainly be included in the plans made by Conte at Napoli.

Apart from that, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also still has a fairly long contract at Napoli as far as I know until 2027. So you could say he is in a safe zone if he continues to stay at Napoli for now. Therefore, now he just needs to work hard to be able to play even better at Napoli. Because if for example he can play well at Napoli, big clubs will definitely come to him to offer him a contract. Because Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is also still young, so there is no need to rush to change clubs.

But hasn't the problem been resolved? and Napoli have apologized to Oshimen and finally they have made up, if Oshimen wants to leave Napoli and take revenge for this action, Oshimen did not extend his contract just because Napoli increased his salary option and currently Napoli has to make things difficult for him because Napoli is selling the player with high prices and make big clubs think long and hard about recruiting these players.

If at that time he had not renewed his contract, it is very likely that this season he would have been at another club with free agent status. I think Napoli did that only because they didn't want to lose Oshimen for free.he could have escaped from Napoli's shadow. Besides, it's already been done and Oshimen can't do much before waiting for another club to buy him.

But strangely last year Napoli and Osimhen agreed to extend the contract and we don't know if it was just Napoli's attempt to secure Osihen from leaving for free. Indeed, recently we heard that Napoli wanted to release Osimhen the reason is Napoli finances. I would prefer to see Osimhen playing in the Premier league so he knows what the real competition is like, we know that competition in the Premier League is very different from Serie A even though Osimhen has been the best in Serie A, it is not certain that he can do it in the Premier League.

Initially, Napoli retained Osimhen and offered him a contract extension, all because the team management still relied heavily on the player and had not yet found the right coach. After Conte arrival everything changed and the management really believed in the coach's plan to keep other players and sell them to other teams.
As we can see Conte actually wants Lukaku not Osimhen and that is very natural because every professional coach knows the right players for the team and that is the reason I know.

Regarding Osimhen move to the EPL to gain great experience, it seems that Serie A is the same as the EPL which has tough competition. It's just that the EPL provides new experiences for these players so they can have a good career in the future and this is the right reason for me.

That is Napoli's ingenuity in seeing the potential that their players have in order to get sales for their players, and I think this season is the right time to sell their mainstay player like Osimhen. Napoli's ingenuity in extending Osimhen's contract last season must have a reason and Napoli's desire. in order to get money for the club, and this has been clearly seen with rumors of Osimhen's sale from Napoli to a big club there.

Whether or not Osimhen is suitable to play in the Premier League is his decision, from a game perspective he is indeed worthy to play in the Premier League in terms of tactics, individuality, the instinct to create goals is a game that Osimhen has, so I think he is worthy...

[mammusu]

As I was expecting to see because of the good performance of Inzaghi in Inter Milan especially in the last two years they extended the contract of this coach to give him more time and get the team improved in the next years.
He extended his contract until 2026 and he will get 6.5 million euros per season which made Inzaghi the most expensive coach in Serie A.
However, Conte in Napoli gets a good amount of salary like Inzaghi.
So far Inzaghi had 158 games in Inter Milan and his performance was good enough to make them extend the contract of this coach for a longer time.

This is a step that Inter Milan should take to extend the coach who led them to win the Scudetto last season. It will be a big question if they don't extend Inzaghi's contract, because he can show a good game with Inter Milan and present something they are waiting for, namely the title. In the future, Inzaghi himself will definitely prepare even higher targets. Apart from being able to defend the title next season, he also has to make Inter Milan able to talk a lot in the Champions League.

So far the squad he has with Inter Milan is quite good, but he still needs new players who can make him work more optimally in implementing the strategy he will play next season, especially with higher targets. The reason is that Inter Milan will not just give him a high salary if there is no target they have set for Inter Milan to achieve.

I personally think that Victor Osimhen, if he really were to land in the Premier League, could really make waves. The Premier League is a very competitive league but the clubs play mainly in attack and it could be the perfect habitat for a goleador like Osimhen. But so far these are just suppositions, we will see if Antonio Conte manages to keep him at Napoli again.

From the start, his dream was to play for an EPL team, but when he achieved success when he won the Scudetto with Napoli, he never went to that league. Maybe it's natural that Napoli doesn't want other teams to touch their players, especially as Osimhen is an important player for Napoli's success. But after seeing his performance last season, everything has gone downhill and to be honest, if he stays at Napoli his responsibilities will be even greater as a player.

Now his future will still be determined before next season starts and whether Antonio Conte can convince him to stay or not, no one knows. What is clear, if I look at it, is that he has given everything for Napoli and even if he wants to leave, I think the club should allow it.

Antonio Conte will uncover more potential for Napoli next season, we're yet to watch the very top performance. Napoli most important player, Victor Osimhen is a prominent player, definitely the eye target for every possible elite club this summer. Although the Nigeria international have his dreams to play for the English Premier League elite club one day, can he actually make his dreams come through or he will probably stick to Napoli?

I don't think so about staying at Napoli, because since last season Victor Osimhen has shown that he no longer feels at home at Napoli.
Now PSG is the team most interested in bringing in Victor Osimhen, so I think PSG is the most likely to be Victor Osimhen's team next season.

We also don't need to overestimate Conte and Napoli next season, I think there is no guarantee that Conte can make Napoli rise next season, it won't be easy.
And regarding Victor Osimhen also not having a significant influence on the Napoli team, there are still many other forward players who can fill his role, so I don't think it's too much to link Victor Osimhen and Napoli's revival next season.

Antonio Conte will uncover more potential for Napoli next season, we're yet to watch the very top performance.

Although the Nigeria international have his dreams to play for the English Premier League elite club one day, can he actually make his dreams come through or he will probably stick to Napoli?

As long as Victor Osimhen still has the ability and talent to prove himself as the leading and best player in Serie A, especially in the Napoli team, of course he can still hope for this dream to come true. Because every team will definitely look at players who still have the talent and instinct to score more goals in every match. Because a player like Victor Osimhen will definitely find it easier to adapt to other English players when he is already in one of the English teams. Although this is still a dream on hold because for next season it looks like he will remain at Napoli if no other elite team asks for him this summer.

[Frankolala]

Is Osimhen going to finally stay at Napoli? I thought he wanted to leave and also Napoli wanted to sell him as well. I guess him not leaving is not going to hurt Napoli at all. But it is going to hurt the career of the player. He should have left before the last season started. But I believe it was a mutual decision from the player and also the club to make him stay. But now he should definitely leave. But there are some things that he will have to keep in mind. If he wants to leave to go to PSG, it is probably better for him to not leave and stay at Napoli. At least he will be among the competition and if he manages to stay healthy, He will be able to improve. At PSG, he is not going to improve.

If we talk about Osimhen's personal desires, he really wants to leave Napoli. The reason is that after this season finished, from the news I read, Osimhen felt that he was no longer suitable to be at Napoli. The reason is, Osimhen had problems with Napoli due to video content uploaded by Napoli which seemed to mock Osimhen.

The time Napoli posted that Tiktok, Osimhen felt real discomfort. I remember Fabrizio tweeting about it, expressing how Osimhen was agitated when he saw that TikTok and wanted out. Since last season, he hasn't been at his best.

But fortunately enough, he is a striker with tons of potential. There are lots of teams who lack a good striker, and there definitely will be offers. Napoli asking a high price is not doing Osimhen justice when they know that he wants to move. I think Osimhen may need to submit a transfer request at some point to get his move.

By the way, Napoli deleted the video after the threat from Osimhen's agent that they are considering taking legal action against Napoli.

I think that was what affected him mentally which made him not to be on his best performance last season. Osimhen does not want to be with them again and they don't want to let him go indirectly, which made them to put a hug price tag on him. If aOsimhen is still in Napoli, I don't think that he will be comfortable there anymore.

The Euros and Copa America is coming to an end toady and tomorrow, let see what is the fate of Osimhen as he might be needed by a new club because all clubs are reshuffling their team for a better performance next season.

For a player who has problems with his club, his performance will definitely be a little different from before and it is Napoli's fault for uploading a video that is inappropriate.
Any player would feel angry if he was mocked like that and maybe it's time for Osimhen to try a career at another club that can appreciate him more.
But the problem is that Napoli has the power to sell or keep Osimhen and this is what makes it a little difficult for Osimhen to leave the club.
If Napoli gives a price below 100 million, Chelsea will definitely be the first club to continue to make a bigger offer.

If Osimhen stays with Napoli by force, usually his performance will not be the same as before and that will affect Osimhen's price and his career will look bad.

Osimhen's performance actually decreased quite drastically after this problem appeared. Maybe Osimhen's motivation to defend the Napoli club is no longer optimal. Because of course he is not comfortable with the uploads made by the club's social media accounts. So it seems that Osimhen has decided since then that he wants to leave Napoli when the season is over. But unfortunately until now everything still looks unclear. Because even though several clubs have shown interest in Osimhen, in reality no one has made an official offer to Osimhen. So it seems quite difficult for Osimhen to leave Napoli due to the expensive transfer price that is still attached to him.

This whole Osimhen thing at Napoli is awful. That guy has the heart of a lion on the field, and then they post that crap on TikTok? That's not nice at all. Who the hell is in charge over there? Such a waste of a talented person like Osimhen

However, this might turn out to be a good thing after all. Teams with half a brain should be lining up to sign him right now because the transfer window is insanely busy. Forget about the price, this guy scores goals like crazy when he's in the mood. I would be on the phone right now if I were being managed. Some clubs can't see this great chance, but others can

Additionally, I hope that Osimhen gets a club that treats him like the king that he is. A place that values him for who he is, not just what he wants to do. That's where you'll see the real Osimhen shine again

[dzungmobile]

Additionally, I hope that Osimhen gets a club that treats him like the king that he is. A place that values him for who he is, not just what he wants to do. That's where you'll see the real Osimhen shine again

He made history with Napoli and will be remembered but he will not has a position like Diego Maradona. Osimhen scored many goals for Napoli, won Scudetto with the club but his playing style is less emotional than Maradona's style.

He is a legend in Naples with success he brought to the club but reaching to Maradona's position is impossible. King in Naples for Osimhen, I don't think so and he will not get it as his plan is moving out of Naples this summer to find new challenges for his career.

Osimhen's performance actually decreased quite drastically after this problem appeared. Maybe Osimhen's motivation to defend the Napoli club is no longer optimal. Because of course he is not comfortable with the uploads made by the club's social media accounts. So it seems that Osimhen has decided since then that he wants to leave Napoli when the season is over.

Many reasons that caused Osimhen's worse performances than expected and than his performances two seasons ago for Napoli. After three seasons in Serie A with Napoli, clubs, coaches and defenders in Italy actually had enough time to understand about Osimhen and they probably found ways to control this striker and reduce his danger more effectively.

Some other reasons can be conflict between Osimhen and the club, and others can be from his teammates with poorer performances than two seasons ago too.

Didn't that incident happen a long time ago? Yeah it wasn't a nice action taken by Napoli side. I would also be disappointed if I was Osimhen. However I thought they found a middle way later on.

As far as I know, Kvaratskhelia is much more keen on leaving compared to Osimhen. Because of the things going on among him, his agent and the team recently I mean. But of course, Osimhen would also be okay to sign for a solid team at the earliest opportunity.    He didn't want to sign a long-term contract with Napoli. Therefore he might leave this summer in case of a sensible offer. Maybe an offer by PSG? I would say Chelsea too but they don't look interested recently.

Although the Nigeria international have his dreams to play for the English Premier League elite club one day, can he actually make his dreams come through or he will probably stick to Napoli?

In fact, Conte himself wants Lukaku rather than Osimhen and thus, it seems Osimhen is not in Conte's plans. Or perhaps, Osimhen is so eager to leave, that Conte is no longer interested in using Osimhen with such an attitude. Or maybe also, Napoli who need fresh funds so Napoli will sell Osimhen in the player transfer window at this moment.

But at least, I personally still believe about Osimhen who still has great potential to be able to make a good contribution to the team, whether staying at Napoli or maybe leaving. Because young players like Osimhen are indeed very worthy to be in an elite team in the Premier League or maybe other elite teams that have dominated the league for the last few seasons. But at least, Because Napoli also managed to appoint Conte as Napoli's new manager then thus, even if Osimhen stays at Napoli too it will still be a good choice.

Although the Nigeria international have his dreams to play for the English Premier League elite club one day, can he actually make his dreams come through or he will probably stick to Napoli?

Napoli have great hopes with the arrival of Conte as their coach next season, de Laurentiis has huge ambitions to restore their previous glory to win the Scudetto again next season, but conte needs freedom in building and forming the team he has wanted so far, so  I think Conte will make a lot of changes next season, In the last few seasons, Osimhen has been Napoli's mainstay player, but Conte won't retain him because Osimhen desire to leave is very big at the moment, apart from that, Osimhen probably won't be a mainstay for Conte because he is more interested in lukaku at the moment, so it's likely he won't be at napoli next season.

As long as Victor Osimhen still has the ability and talent to prove himself as the leading and best player in Serie A, especially in the Napoli team, of course he can still hope for this dream to come true. Because every team will definitely look at players who still have the talent and instinct to score more goals in every match. Because a player like Victor Osimhen will definitely find it easier to adapt to other English players when he is already in one of the English teams. Although this is still a dream on hold because for next season it looks like he will remain at Napoli if no other elite team asks for him this summer.

We cannot doubt Osimhen's ability and talent and we can see how in the last few seasons he has helped Napoli with the goals he has scored so far, currently the only barrier to Osimhen leaving is the high price set by Napoli, so when Napoli lowers the selling price to litlle small, then we can be sure that next season he will be at another club whether it's an English league club or Ligue 1.
