Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Joy_learns_crypto]

Of course, demanding a salary of over 13 million euros from a player who scores more or less 8 goals a season is really funny.
Juventus is right not to please the player, better to lose than to lose big. But one thing isn't clear to me! Is Vlahovic already a free agent?

He doesn't deserve that amount and I blame Juventus for putting him on the current he is earning, he is good but he is now using the fact that Italian football don't want to lose players and start demanding what he does not deserve.
But I think Juventus rejection is justified because there hasn't been club interests in him to drive any high salary rather it should be dropped.

The only team interested was Inter, but they already have the strikers and also have no intention of paying that huge salary. I think his future will be outside of Italy now, maybe in the Premier League they can give him what he asks for to play! And not score lol
Anyway, I don't really like him as a player! He's way overrated.

Juventus made the right decision of letting him go. His wage is on the high side and does not favour Juventus in respect to his impact to the team. He is a good player but he is not in that rank to receive such salary. He had only 7 league goals last  season with his highest scoring season being 16 goals in the 23/24 season. Juventus can go for other options like Alexander Sorlot who could leave Atletico Madrid this window. He has a better stat and receives less than €180k weekly. This will be a wiser decision and more cost effective to fit into that position and boost the attack for the coming season. Juventus will not be playing the champions League next season which could also be a disadvantage to get more elite players but I think Alexander Sorlot would choose them over Fenerbahce who are already in the race for the striker valued at €40 million by the ATM.

Personally, after such a long back and forth, where first he wants to stay, then he wants to leave, then he lowers his salary, then he wants it higher, i no longer want a player like Vlahovic in the team. There are much better alternatives that can make you much more while also costing you much less. So i would prefer to see Vlahovic's departure as it happened.

Franco Mastantuono is a young talent who could become a long-term mainstay. Fiorentina should also request an option to sign this player permanently. But I don’t think Real Madrid will allow that. After all, this 18-year-old is like any other “wonderkid” he’s simply too valuable to let go permanently. So Real Madrid always plays it smart: when they know they don’t have an open spot where he can develop, they loan him out. Fiorentina will certainly benefit somewhat from his presence, though I’d prefer they sign him permanently.

It’s actually a good decision to loan him out because he’d end up like Endrick during the tenure of Xabi Alonso before he’s loaned out to Lyon if he wasn’t loaned out at this point when Mourinho needs to win trophies for Real Madrid and he doesn’t consider him in his project. Also I hope he performs well in the Serie A and prove himself just as Endrick performs in the Ligue 1 last season or even better.

Fiorentina will play their first match of the season against Roma which would probably be his debut game.

Romelu Lukaku didn't return for pre-season games after the FIFA World Cup Competition and he has been linked with a move to an American side playing in the MLS league.

There's a strong possibility of Romelu Lukaku moving to MLS, as Atlanta United is genuinely keen on securing the services of the 33 years old player. On the other side, there are also rumors that Fenerbahçe is interested in Lukaku. It doesn't stop there, it's also reported that several clubs from the Saudi Professional League (SPL) are interested in him. Let's just see how this Romelu Lukaku saga ultimately plays out.

Lukaku should just move to continue his career if there is top team in Europe that is keen on signing him if he leaves Napoli. At 33 years old he still has the opportunity to play for more than 4 seasons if he is not affected by any injuries, but seeing that other clubs are also interested in securing him it's better for him to make the right decision so that he doesn't move to where he will not have enough playing time. From the light of clubs that is interested in the Belgium international, he should be able to make the right choice until then we still can't conclude where he will be going next.

Romelu Lukaku didn't return for pre-season games after the FIFA World Cup Competition and he has been linked with a move to an American side playing in the MLS league.

I was reading before if some media said that he said Yes to the Fenerbahce. Even Fenerbahce is still ongoing negotiation with Napoli regarding the deal of his price. So his move to the MLS feels unlikely to happen.

Max Allegri also has close talks with Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal. I see he has little confidence and trust in Rasmus Hojlund and this is not  the start of the season. If these talks are being held between player manager, then rest assured he will sign for Napoli. Not all managers like their striker and point man to be left footed, this could be the reason. I can't say what decision they take with Kevin De Bruyne, he made some remarks the sporting director considered unpleasant.

Honestly, i'd put Gabriel Jesus injury prone in above of everything. He is not worthy considering it's a miracle for him to play consistently for a quarter without getting injury. If they were wise enough, they should take endrick or someone else instead of him.

Signing him is just a waste of money. It's not gonna worthy with the feedback they will receive due to the injury.

Real Madrid has always known the best path to take for its young players. Real Madrid allows these players to gain valuable experience with other teams. Only after the young player has matured through that experience will Real Madrid call him back and give him the opportunity to play on the first team someday.
An example of a young player released by Real Madrid who went on to become exceptional is Nico Pas, who was bought by Como but with a clause allowing Real Madrid to buy him back. And well, it’s as if Real Madrid didn’t really sell the player, because essentially, when Real Madrid needs him, they can immediately activate that buyback clause. I like how Real Madrid plays it smart in the transfer market.

And playing for Serie A teams is a great experience. I think a young player like Franco Mastantuono will get more playing time there. And maybe the match against Roma will mark his debut for Fiorentina.

Unfortunately, Napoli is going through a period of great change.Antonio Conte left the team, as is his wont to do if he isn't satisfied, and now Romelu Lukaku has also given the team the boot by not showing up for the league training camp. He's already played this trick, too, at Inter and Roma. The Boy feels too precious. Therefore, Massimiliano Allegri finds himself having to deal with major problems inherited from the previous management. But I'm sure that Delaurentis will satisfy him by purchasing a strong striker.

Yes, if I may offer some advice, Napoli should sign Endrick instead of Gabriel Jesus. I don’t mean to downplay Gabriel Jesus’s abilities, but his frequent injuries would be a disadvantage for Napoli, as they’d have to pay the salary of a player who isn’t playing. Besides, Endrick also performed well during his loan stint at Lyon. And I think Real Madrid wouldn’t mind letting Endrick go if an offer came along. After all, Endrick would likely end up as a bench player again at Real Madrid. Therefore, Allegri should reconsider his desire to sign Jesus so that he doesn’t turn out to be a bad signing for Napoli down the line.

According to Fabrizio Romano, there are already indications that something positive could happen between Lukaku and Fenerbahce. This further strengthens the belief that Fenerbahce is the player's preferred destination, while the rumors linking him with a move to MLS are nothing more than speculation that is unlikely to become a reality.

Inter were never interested in signing Vlahovic, the only other Italian team that showed a little interested was Milan, but then they preferred to spend 70 million euros to buy Gonçalo Ramos from PSG, I wonder why... And then we have Vlahovic's agents (the father?) who said he was in talks with PSG, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, great, I wonder where they are now because it's been 40 days since he said it...

That was another angle I didn't analyse or put into thought when I wrote that post but then, gratitude for pointing my eyes and mind to it. I'd say that the Seria A isn't all that intense as the Premier League Competition and if they can get a good medical team to access his situation, then he can do better than Rasmus Hojlund in my honest opinion. But if otherwise, I doubt, he'll just have yet another injury filled season like he did for Arsenal.
As for Endrick, there's a speculation of him being linked with a move to Manchester United, but I don’t know if both clubs are having underground conversations behind the scenes. Even with injuries, I no longer write off any player.

Do Y'all think Ruben Amorim will be shown the exit by AC Milan management before January 2027?

Serie A is certainly not as intense as the Premier League, they cannot be compared. We'll see what Endrick does and if he goes to another team. As for Ruben Amorin, we'll see what he shows in the championship, whether he will make Milan play well and take them back to the top where they deserve, is still too early to say whether he will last long or whether they will show him the exit before January.

Well, it’s not the first time he’s done something like this. That’s why I don’t think a player like that belongs on the team, his behavior undermines discipline. Allegri would be better off getting rid of him, suspend him from training for that kind of behavior and let Napoli figure out how to sell him. Conte left the team, which was to be expected. If his team doesn't win the championship, he leaves, that’s typical Conte behavior. As for Allegri, I think things turned out even better than they might have, Milan missed out on the Champions League, whereas he joined Napoli and will be playing in the CL again. It’s actually a bit funny, but it looks like Allegri is a lucky guy.

According to Fabrizio Romano, there are already indications that something positive could happen between Lukaku and Fenerbahce. This further strengthens the belief that Fenerbahce is the player's preferred destination, while the rumors linking him with a move to MLS are nothing more than speculation that is unlikely to become a reality.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2086398340049010866

So does this mean he hasn't started training with Napoli yet? Personally, I'd prefer he goes to Fenerbahce because that league is still competitive and he can still partake in UCL competitions. Going to the MLS just seems as if he has decided he wants to retire and just wants to play for playing sake.

I’m pretty sure Napoli will eventually accept Fenerbahçe’s next offer. The previous offer of just 6 million euros was indeed below Napoli’s asking price, and it’s quite understandable that Napoli rejected it. However, Fenerbahçe has made a smart move because they’re in a strong position to sign the player, since they appear to have already finalized a deal with Lukaku.

Napoli itself also seems to be on the hunt for a player with the potential to fill the void left by Lukaku. Reportedly, Gabriel Jesus is the player Napoli wants. However, Arsenal has apparently set a price tag of 20 million euros for him. I’m curious to see whether Napoli will dare to take the risk of signing him at that price or not. As far as I know, Gabriel Jesus is prone to injuries and has frequently been sidelined at Arsenal.

It's not easy to sign Vlahovic even if he's on a 0 transfer, he's asking for a lot and not everyone is willing to give what he asks for. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have a good championship. Inter are looking for promising young players to develop or release and it's not even easy, they have to see what conditions they are in.
We'll see what happens.

If he were a champion I could understand his demands, but he's never won anything, so why does he ask for so much?
Sooner or later he will have to settle for the economic conditions that the various clubs will present, taking it or leaving it will be his choice alone

He had a great performance at Fiorentina, from his previous records there, maybe, he was sure once his out of Juventus bigger European clubs would come for him, but that Idea of his backfired, because he had a bad run last season with 7 serie A goals for Juventus. Currently Besiktas is showing high interest on the Serbian striker, offering 10 million Euros for a one year package. It'll be better he gets a playing time there, than not featuring in any team this season.
