Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[babo]

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.

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.

Napoli is very good at getting rid of coaches and attackers, I've noticed.
in recent years he has changed coach several times and has twice removed his top striker
I would say not a smart choice
we return once again to the old problems, where De Laurentis does more harm than good..

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.

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.

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.

Massimiliano Allegri arrived from AC Milan after Milan failed to qualify for the Champions League this is certainly an unpleasant situation for Napoli fans. Conte move will certainly impact the team. However it seems the club management can overcome this. I think Rasmus Hojlund who played exceptionally last season, will be paired with Gabriel Jesus who is rumored to be moving to Napoli from Arsenal. I think this is a good thing considering the Brazilian player limited playing time at Arsenal but his abilities are very proven. Napoli needs to add several more players to prepare for playing in the Europa Champions League.

Napoli seems to consistently overlook players’ injury histories.  As far as I know, Lukaku himself is a player who is frequently injured. And then there’s De Bruyne, who, as we know, also has a fairly long injury history. But the quality of these two players is indeed hard to replace. And now Napoli also intends to sign Gabriel Jesus, who also has a history of frequent injuries. I think this is a bit unique in terms of Napoli’s approach to player transfers. It’s just that Lukaku’s injuries aren’t as frequent as Gabriel Jesus’s, I think. However, in terms of playing quality, Gabriel Jesus does seem like a good fit for Napoli, since he’ll likely be a starter there, unlike at Arsenal, where he mostly comes off the bench.

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.

According to Fabrizio Romano, there are already indications that something positive could happen between Lukaku and Fenerbahce.

Typically, once discussions have reached the stage of negotiating the transfer fee, it seems highly likely that Lukaku’s transfer to Fenerbahçe will happen soon. So, that means we just have to wait and see what the transfer fee for Lukaku to Fenerbahçe will be. I estimate it won’t be more than 30 million. But anyway, let’s just wait for further developments until there’s official news regarding the details of Lukaku’s contract with Fenerbahçe.

Yeah, it's very sad the first offer by Fenerbahce worth €6m got instantly rejected by Napoli. They're demanding €10m from Fenerbahce, which obviously easy to realize. However, do you know if Chelsea will still pocket 40% from this transfer fees?

That news is really surprising me about how smart Chelsea is. So we need only wait for the final deal, which is likely to be closed at €10m deal. I hope it's gonna happen soon. I'll still good to see Lukaku's face in the european competition instead of seeing him goes to MLS.

Talking about Vlahovic, it looks like that besides Besiktas there's also been an approach from a Saudi club, Al-Ahli. Do you want to know Vlahovic's requests: 25 millions per year for him + 25 millions as a commission for his agent, which is his father by the way. Needless to say, the negotiation didn't even start. Frankly I don't understand, doesn't he realize how mediocre he is? Doesn't he understand no one is going to give him that money? He's been on the market for almost 1.5 months, he has like 3 weeks to find a team. I just don't get it.

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.

I see this issue in a similar way. Because no matter how talented a player is, if his future is so uncertain and he keeps changing positions, it is better to let him go than to keep him. If the club can bring in a more effective forward at a lower cost after finishing the Vlahovic issue, it will be a lot better for the team. And with the current discussions and criticisms, I don't think he will be able to stay at the club for long, of course they will try to bring in a good player to replace him.

Some say the €20millon price tag looks too small for him. I won't be surprised if Arsenal withdraws their former price and places a higher bid on Jesus. What's the hype about? He's a Brazilian, has played for different EPL clubs and gathered a lot of experiences , but nobody is concerned about him being prone to injuries?

They're trying really hard to avoid the capital loss, meanwhile Fenerbahçe may not increase the bid for Lukaku. Everything is just wrong about this move honestly.

We would only wait to see what decision the Belgian would take concerning his future and where to play next season. It possible that the former Manchester United and Chelsea striker would choose Fernebache and if that happens it would mean that the player is still interested in playing at the highest level in Europe if he chooses the Turkish side, but in a situation where ends up making a move to the MLS then it means he might be getting close to the end of his playing career because the MLS has now become a destination for players whom are at the finishing point.

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

Ruben has just joined AC Milan and hasn't shown much so far... so it feels too soon to say that he'll be kicked out of AC Milan so quickly. so, yes, we'll have to wait and see how Milan performs over the next few months before we can tell whether Amorim can lead AC Milan into the top three, or if they'll actually sink even lower in the standings. however, looking at Serie A which is not very competitive, I still have the feeling that Amorim can improve AC Milan's performance.

Ruben amurim have proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is a good coach and will never stop showing even with the current challenge he is facing now.
Of a truth in his first game at AC Milan he suffered a terrible defeat but that doesn't mean he is a bad coach and will not do well if the chance is given to him,  all he needs now is time and the commitment of his players because it is not easy adapting to a new game pattern one do not know.
We all no friendly games are different from tournament games, so if they do not do well now I will suggest we wait till when the league starts to see if he will do better then.

The leagues haven't even started yet, and it's not right to say he'll be sent away from the team already. I'm sure Amorim will do his best with Milan. He couldn't achieve what he wanted in England, but he needs to create a competitive Milan in Italy, otherwise, at this stage of his career, he'll return to Portugal and won't be able to manage a team in another country from there.

I don't understand, is this coming out because of the 3-0 lost to Chelsea? Like getting rid of him even when the league is yet to kick off officially? Hmm this is hilarious anyways, but I don't how you guys might take it in but I strongly believe Ruben Amorim will make a difference in that AC Milan team, he might fail at Manchester United yes that is because the expectation there is very high, here in AC Milan I think he will have lesser pressure, so I'm trusting on him in this job, believe me he will deliver it's just a preseason match no Big deal.

[*Ace*]

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.

A great season played a few years ago cannot be the reason why the player continues to ask for a high salary.
The truth is that he has been praised as an undisputed champion, often even compared to Haaland, but the truth is different and it is also very sad.
If I were him I would agree to go and play for Besiktas, and try to revive his career.Many have gone to play in Türkiye, he can do it too

"Like father, like son". this the best sentence that can refer to Vlahovic and his father. They're so greedy af. Kinda weird when they put such non sense salary + commission for his agent. This is also the reason why Juve didn't wanna extend him because i've heard he's demanding 8m yearly salary + 15m commission.
We know saudi club has imagine as a rich club, but asking 25m yearly + 25m commission is out of my mind.

Like you said how garbage he was as a striker. Sacrificinng his future in european to play in Saudi might be the reason why he put such huge salary + commission, but it's never worth with what he will be delivered with his destination club.
This is also the reason he's still remain clubless after weeks in the transfer market.

Hope no club will sign him.

No one's saying he'll be sacked because of the friendly defeat, but even those friendlies should have been played much better. Although I suspect Chelsea could become a stronger team with Alonso. And don't expect Amarim's arrival at Milan to immediately change everything for the better. I think they might need a lot of time and a lot of money on transfers to strengthen Milan. Although I think it's not worth jumping to conclusions just because of one defeat against Chelsea.

Maybe he gave Al-Ahli that offer because he wants to scare them away. Dušan Vlahović has always said that moving to Saudi Arabia was not an option for him. Moving to Turkey will be his last option if he doesn't have better offers from a top European club. The Saudi side just walks away when they hear his demands.

Players sometimes go through hard times in their careers. Vlahovic might be going through bad times, but I have some advice for him. At 26 years old, he still has much to offer in Europe, except that he wants to make more money from the Gulf League.

Let be honest with ourselves, if Amorim did not have a good season at Ac Milan he will be sacked, Ac Milan is not a team that leaves the coach when he is not doing a good job for them, the match against Chelsea shouldn’t be use to judge his work because the season have never started but he need to win games from the preseason to build the players confident, Ac Milan have not win any preseason games they have played and that is not what the club expects from the players and the coach, Amorim needs to work hard to make the players do better, what happened to Ac Milan last season will make the team react to any challenges they face this season, Amorim is a good coach and I believe he can turn things around.

Every league—and indeed every team—has a very different structure. Italian teams have been largely unsuccessful in recent years, and Milan is in an even worse state; the club seems to be going from bad to worse.
We are talking about a Milan side that has been in decline since the era of players like Cafu, Seedorf, Nesta, Pirlo, and Inzaghi in the early 2000s.

Amorim achieved great things with his team in Lisbon before taking charge of Manchester United—another club that has struggled in recent years—but he failed there. Now, Amorim has taken another risk by accepting the Milan job. I believe he will fail here as well.
He might not even make it to January.

Oh my goodness, what have you pulled out? Good old Seedorf! Those were the days when Milan was a great team.
also with Inzaghi and Cafu, two other great players
I also remember Nesta very well and the rock-solid defence that Milan had, without forgetting Ambrosini, who was also very good.
