Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Sg4j1n3ll0]

looking at some daily news on football I would like to bring to your attention the lukalu-napoli topic, it seems that these are decisive times for the purchase of the player that napoli and antonio conte are really interested in taking regardless of the transfer of Osimhen , twenty-five million plus five bonuses to Chelsea for Lukaku, but Chelsea wants 43 million and a permanent transfer won't be easy!

And the way Napoli is showing a lot of interest in bringing in luckaku is amazing since they are getting serious about the transfer, since antonio conte wants Lukaku in Napoli since the money is already available any moment from now  Lukaku is going to be in Napoli. I think Lukaku already have a lot of failed opportunities in Chelsea Presently, I'm not really satisfied with what Lukaku been playing, so coming to Napoli now doesn't change anything as far as bringing in Lukaku, it Not As if is not a good player but I feel is time is already passing maybe because of his age they would have gone for a younger player, maybe they feel Lukaku will have more ball experience than other youngsters players. Buy Lukaku for 43 million is actually a lot of money, when they continue with negotiation maybe Chelsea might agree to the terms of Napoli.

in fact in my opinion it is madness to buy a player who has shown very little in recent years and above all is starting to be old enough to play football, also in my opinion with that price which I consider astronomical they could easily take a younger player who can do much better than him, in any case we will see in the next few days

I saw the latest news about Lukaku has agreed to a deal with Napoli and Conte regarding a pay cut if he joins Napoli, this may be because Napoli still has Oshimen who has the highest salary at the club and he has not been sold so to avoid spending too much they were forced to do that, but Napoli is only willing to pay 25 million with an additional 5 million while Chelsea wants more than that, actually there are other clubs willing to pay the transfer fee set by Chelsea but Lukaku does not want to join any club except Napoli so regarding this transfer it seems quite complicated the respective clubs have not reached an agreement regarding the negotiations between them.

Napoli are trying to be smart in this transfer and Chelsea are not ready to condone that smartness because it’ll be at their own great loss after this season. Lukaku is not a young player anymore and any team that signs him will just get to use him for few seasons and then dump him again. Maybe Napoli will only utilize him for just a season or one more and they’re done with him, so they don’t want to pay a high fee for an aged player like him. Chelsea is also avoiding not selling him now and giving him out on loan and lose the potential chance of selling him high now. So both clubs wants to favor their interest and that’s making it very hard for a deciding to be made so far in this deal.

The trick won't solve anything here, Chelsea value Lukaku at €40m, and Osimhen has a €130m buyout clause in his contract, so even taking into account the exchange of Lukaku for Osimhen, a very significant surcharge will have to be made, so I think nothing will come of this venture. There are rumors that a Napoli representative is now in London and may negotiate with Chelsea about this exchange, I think that if we don't see news in the near future, that the teams have agreed on this exchange, we can consider this transfer to have failed.

Chelsea will not be that easy to agree to the price offered by Napoli, they will still insist on their wishes. Maybe they will lower the price a little and that is not too far, so clearly this is a difficult thing for Napoli. On the other hand, Napoli also does not want to agree to Chelsea's wishes, because they themselves certainly do not want to dig deeper into their pockets. Usually when a player transfer and both teams insist on their wishes, then it will never happen. Unless Napoli wants to make a new offer and it is not far from the price set by Chelsea. Now it depends on them and how they can lobby Chelsea to reach an agreement.

I also want to see how AS Roma starts this season with De Rossi still being coached, because the level of change that De Rossi has made while coaching AS Roma has also been quite clear and that can at least be a good hope again for AS Roma fans in the season that will start again soon. I also have no doubts about De Rossi's abilities and also want to see how AS Roma can rank in the top four in the season that will start this month because Roma is a big team that must provide fierce competition to its rivals in Serie A.

De Rossi can really be expected to bring Roma to a better ranking in Serie A. But my hope is that Roma can also win the European League title this season. Because it will prove that De Rossi has succeeded in bringing Roma to a higher level. Because in the last two seasons Roma have always failed in the European League. In the Mourinho Era, Roma was only able to reach the final round and failed. And last season, Roma wasn't even able to reach the final round at all. And if this season Roma doesn't make it to the final in the Europa League then De Rossi will only get criticism from people.

Currently Roma has given full freedom and support to De Rossi to maximize their squad, so automatically if De Rossi has a very big burden to bring Roma to at least win the domestic title next season, Roma has recruited 6 new players who can be said if their the best players in the previous club so there is no reason for De Rossi to complain about the quality of the players he currently has, because when compared with the Mourinho era squad it is clear that the squad that De Rossi will have next season is much better, what will De Rossi achieve next season of course it will continue to be compared with the achievements achieved by Mourinho previously, although Morinho may be considered a failure at Roma, but at least with the squad he have, he was able to bring Roma to the European League final and we also cannot forget that winning the conference league trophy was the result of Mourinho hard work at Roma,  So to be considered better than Mourinho, of course De Rossi must be able to get a better trophy than Morinho got previously.

A whole lot has been said bout the move for both Victor Oshime and Romelu Lukaku. It's already taking too long now and they're yet to come to a conclusion. I don't know what development has come out from the recent negotiations made between the both clubs and players but this is what I have read and this is exactly how Antonio Conte and the management of Napoli wants to make this deal done completely. We will definitely see if the swap deal will sure happen.

Former player for Chelsea Billy Glimor has also been linked with a move to Napoli. It could be a done deal and announcement by the club happening soon.

Meanwhile, Paula Dybala who recently said he won't be leaving As Roma has come to agreement with one of tuese Saudi Arabian Premier League Clubs. It's a good one for As Roma so they can get players who are young and ready to fight for the club.

I agree with you. Juventus performed poorly in the preseason tour. But as you said the new coach will need time to adapt. I won't even be harsh on him for one season because it's not easy to adapt to a team. But at least Thiago Motta didn't really disappoint the fans by getting a bad rating at the end of the season. Their first match is against COMO, a promoted club who is said to have made a lot of good signings in the transfer window this season. We can see how Motta's tactics will play in the first match. I expect a good performance from Juventus because I don't think anyone would have predicted COMO to win that match.

You get a point here, we cannot blame Motta for the results of the pre-season games because he is new to the area and it is difficult to adapt to a new team. But the reason I believe we should hold him responsible for their poor performance in the pre-season games is that this is not his first time managing a team in the Seria A, his previous club was in the Seria A, and he managed Bologna last season, finishing in fifth place, so I do not expect him to struggle to adapt to Juventus because they play in the same league. However, nobody would like to predict that Como will win their next game since they just got promoted to Seria A. Juventus has @1.36 odds on the betting site, while Como has @9.59 odds, showing that Juventus will win their first game of the season.

Inter Milan is still the favorite this season to win the Scudetto,

I don't think Inter Milan will be my favorite team to win the Scudetto next season based on their pre-season performance, however, at this point, I believe AC Milan is a strong team to win the championship next season due to their pre-season performance, as they defeated Manchester City, Real Madrid, and even Barcelona in the penalty shootout.

Pre-seas  matches do not and will never determine a club performance on how they will play in the coming season in my opinion. actually in the case of inter Millan being the favorite of winning the Scudetto in the upcoming season for me they are not the one neither AC Milan even though they won most of their pre-season matches winning Madrid, Manchester City, and Barcelona doesn't matter so for me  AC  Milan are not the favorite of winning the 2024/2025 Italian season Serie A. for me the favorite of winning this year Scudetto is Napoli  because they have more potentials and confidence in them than any other club this coming season.

All clubs and agents involved in this deal will have to come to an agreement soon because if they continue to go back and fronts without any resolutions, the deal will collapse and both clubs will be left with players they don't want. Lukaku agreeing to a pay cut is a good move because it shows the club that he's willing to do anything to come play for them but Osimhen is refusing to reduce his own pay cut and that could also be the reason Chelsea aren't putting pressure on the deal. Swapping two players for Lukaku is too much but if Chelsea are willing to do that to let the deal go through, it is also good because Osimhen is good striker and Chelsea need a good striker. Napoli already wants to sell Victor Osimhen hence Lukaku taking a pay cut isn't about the fact the Napoli has a player on a high salary at the club but it is because he wants to play in Europe and Napoli are the ones interested in him.

I still feel that making an exchange between Lukaku and Osimhen is the best way because after all, Conte also really wants to bring in Lukaku but Napoli are also not ready to buy an old player at a high price. However, if we consider that Chelsea still needs forward players, then of course bringing in Osimhen by exchanging him for Lukaku would be a good choice.

Because after all, Chelsea is also basically focused on maximizing young players and as such, it would be good if Chelsea brought in Osimhen. But indeed, what doesn't make sense is that Chelsea really wants to get benefits from Lukaku, so this means that this transaction never gets an agreement.

That is just the problem Chelsea have that is not making the deal to be sealed because they want to make profit from Lukaku which should not be so. Though, I will not blame them for such idea because Napoli is also making a huge profit fom Osimhen.

It is better that whatever these two clubs have should be concluded because a new season is kicking off tomorrow so that these two clubs can have the players to start playing for the clubs ASAP for balance and focus on the title race.

I was also thinking the same because all these are just the plan of Antonio Conte because he just feels Lukaku is the right choice for him but basically looking at the overall performance of Romelu Lukaku, I don't see anything special about the player, if it was younger and more experienced players it would have been different but this is basically a player that don't even have the energy to play complete 90 minutes without him beginning to flop in the pitch, don't even know what Antonio Conte sees in him that Napoli will have to spend so much for his signing it's really becoming annoying. He has been in the news for some time now and up till now his contract with Napoli has not yet been finalized. They rather opt for a better and more talented player than making Lukaku look expensive when he basically can't perform very well in the pitch of play.

Looking at Lukaku's age, who is currently 31 years old, this player is actually not that old. It's just that bringing in this player cannot be used as a player in the long term. Napoli will probably only be able to see the peak of their performance in the next 2 to 4 seasons. After that, Lukaku will be no longer young and perhaps his performance will decline. It's just that I still like this player's style of play for now. He showed his sharpness when playing for the Serie A team. Like when he was at Inter Milan and at Roma last season. So Conte's decision to bring in Lukaku can be understood. Because maybe he will only use this player for a few seasons. After that I'm sure Napoli will look for other young stars. But for now Napoli immediately needs an experienced striker to quickly increase the strength of their squad again. And bringing in Lukaku is one route they consider worth trying. However, it seems that Conte has another reason for bringing in Lukaku, namely because it seems like it will be easier for Lukaku and Conte to understand each other. Because they have worked together in the past.

They rather opt for a better and more talented player than making Lukaku look expensive when he basically can't perform very well in the pitch of play.

Well, I don't think that acquisition is a bad thing, because Lukaku is a good player, who has a lot to give, it is one of the things that this football needs most, new players, it doesn't matter that he is not a star of the last moment, or the most famous in the world, what is needed is someone who wants to put in the effort, I see that Lukaku did very well in the teams he has been with, I have also seen that he plays wonderfully with Belgium, he has to be given a good opportunity at Napoli, that is why that deal should be closed with him, I am sure that he will Contribute a lot.

Fofana to AC Milan.
 Source

Fonseca succeeded in completing their goal of improving the midfield by successfully recruiting Fofana from Monaco.
The Rossoneri are very active in the transfer market where in this transfer market they managed to recruit 4 players and perhaps their readiness to start this season is very ready to look for victory and compete at the top of the standings.
AC Milan will face Torino in the first match of the season where this match will take place at the San Siro. I think Morata et al's chances are big enough to secure 3 points in the home match because they get full support from the fans who attended their first match this season.
