Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

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.

This actually happened because of Napoli's failure to sell Osimhen, because if Osimhen was sold in this transfer market, Lukaku would certainly be very easy to bring in. However, Napoli are still very strong in maintaining Osimhen's high price so now clubs want him. he started to give up. So for now Napoli are caught in a bit of a dilemma. Because on the one hand, Osimhen still hasn't been sold and if he is kept, it doesn't look like it will end well because Osimhen doesn't seem to want to play at Napoli anymore. But if, for example, Osimhen is sold cheaply, it will definitely be a little less satisfying for Napoli. This is because the sale of Osimhen will certainly provide sufficient funds for Napoli to bring in several young players.
So this has an impact on the contract that will be made with Lukaku. Because I'm sure Chelsea won't let Lukaku go for 25 million euros, so if for example Napoli can't sell Osimhen in this transfer market, I'm sure Lukaku's transfer will fail.

Therefore, for now Napoli must really make a decision regarding this problem. Either sell Osimhen at a slightly cheaper price or spend more money to bring in Lukaku. Because if we don't do this, I'm sure Napoli will again have poor performance in the next season. So Napoli really have to think about this problem carefully, so that the team's future can be even better.

It must be admitted that AC Milan journey in the pre-season tour was impressive, but personally I assume that the performance cannot necessarily be repeated in the official match later. The pre-season tour seems easy because there are no targets and pressures, each manager can freely determine the starting XI, without having to worry about the opponents they will face, that's what we understand. We know that AC Milan is able to beat heavyweight teams like Man City, Madrid and Barcelona in the pre-season tour, but if Milan faces these three teams in the Champions League next season, the final result of the match is likely to be the opposite.
The appointment of Paulo Fonseca as Pioli successor has changed AC Milan style of play a little, they look more aggressive, and that's good enough to overcome every challenge next season. The competition for the Scudetto will be more difficult than last season, I predict Inter Milan will no longer be alone in topping the Serie A standings. We are all certainly very curious about AC Milan performance when they have to compete with Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli in the top four of the standings. Not to mention if Atalanta, Bologna and Roma appear surprising, they also should not be ignored.

The matches that took place were only warm up matches here no team gave importance to these matches so they performed as best they could and the most important thing here is that the players tried to keep themselves injury free. In the case of big teams you may have noticed that every team manager has not played any good players in these matches so that they don't get injured now. If there is a win or a loss before taking the field with such a team, I don't think such a win or loss will have any effect on any team in the main stage match. But I can predict that AC Milan can do well because their performance was a bit offensive and they also paid enough attention to defense in these warm-up matches.  
The main thing is that first a new season will start, each team will play a few matches and then predict how any team can do in the next season.

Pre-season results does not mean anything for any club. It is more about the coaches trying out all the players and finding the right balance, and I think AC Milan has done just that.
AC Milan just got a new manager in June, who had a lot to find out about the squad. The squad is not too bad as well, but yes, Serie A is very competitive.

A lot to be seen in the early days of the league, so let's see how the season unfolds. Then we can judge everything.

I also think Como has small chance of being top team even if they can improve their squad. Big teams like Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan have experience and strong mindset that helps them to win. New teams can surprise us but they need to play well consistently to avoid relegation. This season Inter Milan is strong because of their coach Inzaghi tactics as you already mentioned. Roma also wants to play in Champions League so we can not say Como is the favorite yet. They need to show they can play well all the time and have a deep squad to compete with the best teams.

In my opinion, Como cannot give their best next season, indeed they are currently strengthened by legendary players like Varane and have a coach who has a game in the middle, but I seem to doubt the strength they have because they have or buy old players and this will make it difficult for them, how to compete with other big teams, by having one famous center back Varane can't make them defend solidly how about from the other side, seeing from those who were promoted to Serie A I think Parma will return to their old dream because why are they better than Como they are a team that already has good experience in Serie A before and so I think they will make something best for him in Serie A next season. Parma itself has the ideal strength, they are technically very good and in my opinion they are more considered to escape the relegation zone and if you look at the difficulties of Parma who will lead from the three promotion teams, seeing Como who are very active in the transfer market to strengthen their team does not mean they will be reckless but they do not have or see the mentality of a club that once competed in Sei A but on the contrary Parma has that and in my opinion they will give a surprise with their return to Serie A next season.

Well well, all promoted teams tend to be exciting prospects in their season as promoted clubs. Como has a pretty exciting future, but in all fairness to the Serie A, it is an insanely competitive league. Every club fights to their peak. And so will Como.

The addition of Varane adds a lot. Not just a great defender of this generation, but also a lot of personality in the dressing room. But Como will face a hard time keeping up in the league, and I will be surprised if they don't get relegated in the end.

Lukaku was very important with Roma last season but this season, they will have a better Tammy Abraham and also get a promising new striker Dovbyk from Girona. AS Roma are ready to move to future without Lukaku and they no longer are interested in negotiation with Chelsea on future of Lukaku.

Napoli is different, they can lose Osimhen anytime in rest days of summer transfer season and Lukaku is a perfect replacement for Osimhen. The striker already worked and had good time with Conte in Inter Milan years ago. Chelsea know that they can not sell a striker who is more than 30 years old with very expensive transfer cost so accept the deal from Napoli will be better. A longer they let Lukaku moving to other clubs in loan transfers, a bigger financial loss they will get.

Chelsea must be able to make a wise decision about this before they suffer more losses on the financial side, because when there is a team that is looking for one of the players who is no longer young, of course there must be a better attitude from Chelsea so that they can also get a little benefit from it. And for Napoli it must be the same if they don't want to keep Osimhen for a long time, especially if Osimhen himself has the desire to move to the Premier League in the hope of having a good career there.

I think Osimhen will be the perfect player for Chelsea's squad. There is no doubt that Osimhen is a fantastic scorer. Unless he suffers an injury, Osimhen has the potential to score a lot of goals. Chelsea need a scorer like that.

But from what I have heard Osimhen wants to come to the Premier League, but is not so keen to come to Chelsea. Because Chelsea's performance in the last few seasons is very poor. At the same time, this team could not qualify for the Champions League. Osimhen is keen to move into a squad that will play in the Champions League.

Chelsea will probably do their best to get Osimhen into the squad. At the same time, Napoli management are interested in a deal with Chelsea. In the end, perhaps OSimhen's destination will be Chelsea.

While there are people interested in Lukaku, I think they can sell him for a high transfer fee. As the player ages, his value decreases and he can be transferred for a lower fee. Transfer efforts between Napoli and Chelsea should accelerate. If this continues, both teams will suffer losses as the transfer window ends.

De Rossi probably can do very well if he starts to build a squad for himself. You know, last season he did a very good job with a squad that he did not even build. To be honest, I expected better from Jose Mourinho but he kind of disappointed. I did not expect De Rossi to do much better either. But what he did indeed surpassed the expectations of everyone.

De Rossi also signed a winger from Juventus, he is slowly building a squad. I am expecting him to finish top 4 this season. What he did last season was exceptionally well and I believe he will be able to get the UCL ticket for his team in the next.

I also hope the same for him at AS Roma, but it seems difficult for him to aim for the champions or the top four next season, and I see they have a less than impressive pre-season from the six games they played only managed to get two wins of course this is not good, and I see their new striker also has not scored a goal for Roma, and I think they will be in the dark if De Rossi does not hone his strategy again, because the league is only a few days away so their evaluation must be right if everything is to go according to their plan. And here I think that De Rossi will not be able to beat Mourinho that is the reality, Mourinho is a legend as a player and also a coach so it is not easy for him to bring down Mourinho, Roma rose under Mourinho and I think this is something that is not worthy of being compared because De Rossi is still finding his identity as a coach, and with what he currently gets from Roma management I think he should use it well and wisely but if not I think he is not a coach who deserves to be there, and I think De Rossi is also still lacking in the tactics he has so he has to sharpen his head again to show that he is capable of finishing in the top four but if not I think Roma should consider removing him.

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.

Lukaku is just ap layer they know they are getting what they are buying for and they are not going to be shocked with whatever happens. That's sometimes good enough, yes it is not a marvellous trade or anything like that but it is at least a known trade and we should probably consider that this could be a good investment for them. I know that it is going to take a while for him to be getting back into match shape but he is still a good player, and good enough for Napoli level as well.

You need to remember that not every team tries to win the league and while Napoli win it in recent years and would love to win it again, they are aware that they are not going to get it again. In that case, Lukaku isn't a bad player for a team that is pushing for fourth place at the best case in their mind.

I don't think so, it's clear that Lukaku's performance has declined significantly in the last few seasons and there are many factors that cause this, including Lukaku's age which is no longer young, so I think he will not be able to perform optimally again like his former glory.
Apart from that, Lukaku is a player that Conte really wants, we don't know for sure why but every coach has his own criteria and perspectives to be able to carry out the tactics he applies.

Napoli are now in a slump, we can't compare them to a few seasons ago when they won the Scudetto and for a team that is already in a slump it will not be easy to rise, now Napoli must start from the beginning again in building this team and that will take a long time.

Players are human and naturally their bodies are affected by time and ageing. No players can avoid problems from ageing and they have to gradually change their playing styles to adapt to ageing too. Lukaku is no longer young and he actually started to feel pressure on his body from ageing but there are other factors can affect his performances such as club support, coach's tactics and teammates support.

Generally Lukaku's performances will be decreasing with time in quality and he will also appear in less matches each season. Conte wants to have Lukaku because they already worked with each other years ago and Lukaku is still useful for Conte and Napoli.

Napoli are now in a slump, we can't compare them to a few seasons ago when they won the Scudetto and for a team that is already in a slump it will not be easy to rise, now Napoli must start from the beginning again in building this team and that will take a long time.

Napoli must be realistic and return to what they used to be like a competitor for top four in Serie A. Chances to win Scudetto again for a club like Napoli are not too big and they will have to wait for several years or even some decades to lift another Scudetto.

I read this news:

AS Roma are still waiting to receive an official bid from Al Qadsiah — while Saudi club advanced in contract talks with Dybala.
Negotiations continue while value of Al Qadsiah bid will be crucial step to understand if deal gets done.

source: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1823707008195026950
I confess that I am shocked. Roma have already lost Lukaku, when they lose Dybala, the team will not have good results. When Mourinho arrived at Roma and became coach, one of the very good things he achieved was to sign Dybala and bring in Lukaku. I do not understand why Roma did not make an effort to have Lukaku permanently and now they want to sell Dybala, who is a great player who has contributed a lot to the team's good results. It is clear how well Roma plays when Dybala is on the field. I also do not understand why Dybala is agreeing to go to Saudi Arabia when he is still young, he is 30 years old and could play another 3 seasons in Europe and then move to Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, he has been very unlucky with the Argentine national team. He does not even play in friendlies. It seems that the coach of the Argentine national team does not like Dybala. If Dybala leaves for Saudi Arabia, then he will hardly return to play for any big team in Europe.

Surprisingly Roma let Dybala to negotiation with Al Qadsiah representative which mean this transfer potentially will be happened and i think who doesn't interested high salary which offered by Saudi Arabian club because now it just happend to Dybala although he still 30 years old and his performance also still deserved to playing at Serie A but 20 million salary per year is really tempting him and probably he will thinking this offers with very well and not impossible Dybala will be accept it
I can see Roma has prepare to gets new players if Dybala really accept the offers from Al Qadsiah because currently Roma was attempts to look for new players as the replacement of Dybala and according to the rumours currently Roma targetting Juventus player Federico Chiesa and Jeremie Boga and about Federico Chiesa he has cheap price and Juventus want to sell him and if Roma is really really serious then i am sure this transfer will be happened

Should Dybala actually agree to go to the Saudi league?

He is only 30 years old and I think he still has a lot to actually give to his club. For a player like him, going to the Saudi league at only 30 years of age is probably not the right decision. He should actually stay at the top of the competition and try to perform well. I understand that the biggest problem he has is the injury problem. But that can happen wherever he goes right?

maybe he is trying to grab the cash bag before his injury situation becomes a lot worse and his market value becomes slower. But I think there is still time for that situation to come. Honestly, it is actually a surprise to me that he might agree to go to the Saudi league.

By the way, did he actually agree or are they just in negotiations with him? I understand why the club would want to sell him to the Saudi league. Of course, they are going to get a good amount of money. But the player really should not agree.

Maybe they don't want to lose from the transfer fee they spent when buying Lukaku, but if they keep delaying then maybe they will get a lower price, or even they won't get any money at all because until his contract ends there are no more teams interested. If they are going to sell Lukaku, then they have to negotiate seriously to reach an agreement, because in my opinion this is one of their opportunities to sell Lukaku when there is a team that really wants him. I think Napoli will do everything they can to get Lukaku, because they have wanted Lukaku for a long time, especially since Conte was appointed as Napoli coach. Napoli will also be open to negotiating to reach an agreement.

Actually i am tired to see the news about Lukaku and i also wondering why Chelsea keep pending Lukaku status at this team although previously they want to sell him this summer and not interested anymore to loan him to other clubs but what i do not understand is why Chelsea keep refuse the offers from other clubs to buy Lukaku and now Lukaku playing at Chelsea junior team and he will not be registered as a Chelsea player for next season

I think the rumour about Lukaku to Napoli has reach to final chapter and probably will not going to happend because recently Napoli has switching their target to Benfica player David Neres and it says both representative has been agree for this transfer but it wasn't mentioned about the fees but people predict David Neres has transfer fees approximatelly 28-30 million and the player even expected will be arrived to Napoli this monday for medical check

I think Chelsea is waiting for offers from Saudi Arabian teams for Romelu Lukaku. They paid him a very high transfer fee and they are not using him right now. They are not keeping him in the team and he is constantly being sent out on loan. I think Chelsea is following the wrong strategy. As you said, there is a possibility that he will leave the team without making any money in the future. They should not forget this possibility and it would be more logical for them to sell him while they have suitors. Maybe it would be better for them to sell him while Napoli wants him.

[Velvet78]

Inter has made quite many transfers in the summer so far but didn't spend too much money for them in total.



They didn't see any need for making big transfers. I agree with that decision of course. Because I believe they already have a complete squad for achievements. A back-to-back title seems quite possible this season. 

By the way one of the opening games is Genoa - Inter. What is your opinion? I assume most people (including me) would expect Inter to start with a convincing victory. I can't wait to watch Lautaro too after having a very productive season.

Napoli have offered Osimhen in exchange for Lukaku but Chelsea are currently inclined to reject it, I don't know what Todd Boehly is thinking at the moment but the offer coming from Napoli no longer seems to suit their wishes after bringing in many strikers right now, previously Chelsea was one a team that has a very big interest in Osimhen but over time they no longer try to negotiate the deal after Napoli set a very high price tag on Osimhen previously, apart from that, what Chelsea is doing is probably a good move at this time because they if continue to loan Lukaku that is will only burden their finances so far so it is better to sell him permanently.
There were several Arab clubs that previously took an interest in Lukaku but Chelsea at that time actually prioritized using Lukaku as a way to get Osimhen, but after negotiations failed between Chelsea and napoli, course now they will most likely sell lukaku to an Arab team who are ready to meet the asking price of 30 million euros.

[Sg4j1n3ll0]

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 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.

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.

Giovanni Manna in England to hash out Victor Osimhen, Romelu Lukaku deals with Chelsea

Napoli Director Giovanni Manna is in England to negotiate the double striker deal involving Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku.

According to HITC, Napoli director Giovanni Manna will try to negotiate a deal with Chelsea involving strikers Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku. The Serie A giants are eager to sign the Belgian, although they will only do that once they manage a deal to sell the Nigerian, with Chelsea open to the prospect.

Chelsea and Napoli are locked in a big striker conundrum ahead of the latter stages of the transfer window. Beginning with the Italian giants are eager to sign unwanted Blues star Romelu Lukaku. But any deal will depend on their ability to sell star forward Victor Osimhen.

by now he is a player who I think has had his chances to demonstrate the player he is and he has had many and on many occasions he has shown himself to be a player who doesn't put in the effort he seems to not care this is what it seemed to me anyway without taking anything away at Napoli but it seems to me that at this point it is good for him to go there, the other teams don't want him!

Napoli is different, they can lose Osimhen anytime in rest days of summer transfer season and Lukaku is a perfect replacement for Osimhen. The striker already worked and had good time with Conte in Inter Milan years ago. Chelsea know that they can not sell a striker who is more than 30 years old with very expensive transfer cost so accept the deal from Napoli will be better. A longer they let Lukaku moving to other clubs in loan transfers, a bigger financial loss they will get.

Chelsea must be able to make a wise decision about this before they suffer more losses on the financial side, because when there is a team that is looking for one of the players who is no longer young, of course there must be a better attitude from Chelsea so that they can also get a little benefit from it. And for Napoli it must be the same if they don't want to keep Osimhen for a long time, especially if Osimhen himself has the desire to move to the Premier League in the hope of having a good career there.

Chelsea's approach of transfer is a major fault. Osimhen? Hell sure; the man is a goal machine. Chelsea just dropped the Champions League boat. Top players want that stage. Will Osimhen find satisfaction in less? unsure. Lukaku? That's a mess Chelsea made themselves. Though he's rotting in the reserves, they are playing hardball on the price. That represents money lost down the drain. Wake up, Chelsea. Cut your losses

Napoli is are displaying how it is done. Neres? If Osimhen's out, they move on. That's smart business. Chelsea has to straighten their heads from their ass. It is not fantasy football here. One should pay attention to finances. Get serious about your group, objectives, and quit wasting money

So this has an impact on the contract that will be made with Lukaku. Because I'm sure Chelsea won't let Lukaku go for 25 million euros, so if for example Napoli can't sell Osimhen in this transfer market, I'm sure Lukaku's transfer will fail.

Therefore, for now Napoli must really make a decision regarding this problem. Either sell Osimhen at a slightly cheaper price or spend more money to bring in Lukaku. Because if we don't do this, I'm sure Napoli will again have poor performance in the next season. So Napoli really have to think about this problem carefully, so that the team's future can be even better.

Because Lukaku has worked with Conte and they were successful with Inter Milan I think that is one of the reasons why Lukaku only wants to be transferred to Napoli. Overall his performance with Chelsea is not that good. Maybe Conte can put Lukaku in his best position. As far as I know Conte also wants Lukaku more than Osimhen. Napoli are in a difficult position. They have to sell Osimhen at a cheaper price if they want to get funding. No team wants to buy Osimhen for 120 million euros or 100 million euros if you look at his performance last season. CMIIW

Napoli are now in a slump, we can't compare them to a few seasons ago when they won the Scudetto and for a team that is already in a slump it will not be easy to rise, now Napoli must start from the beginning again in building this team and that will take a long time.

But if Conte gets the desired players and gives the right tactics to Napoli, surely Napoli will easily get out of the slump this season, fixing last season's failure Napoli really wants to dominate the League like the previous season which was very difficult to conquer, and last season was Napoli's worst season for decades which usually Napoli is always a strong competitor but always loses to easy teams, with Conte's presence hopefully it can have a significant impact on Napoli's progress next season so that they can put pressure on their rival clubs.
