Currently Juventus is in a difficult situation. They got sanctioned recently. And then they also have financial problems at the club. Even their mainstay player Vlahovic has the potential to be released to a club that is ready to make an offer according to what Juventus wants. Previously, Vlahovic was almost at Chelsea, namely he was going to be exchanged for Lukaku. But the negotiations do not seem to be going well and have failed. Because Chelsea objected to the additional money they had to pay.

But apart from all that, Juventus are actually no strangers to every problem they face. Even last season they started the season with a lot of problems. Related to sanctions and also related to their players who suffered a lot of injuries at the start of last season. But last season they were still able to compete in the top 4 rankings. Even though they had to go down in rankings because they were subject to point deduction sanctions.
well even this season I think will not be much different. Juventus should also focus on being able to finish in the top 4 in Serie A. Because this club does not have a busy schedule this season. So this club should be able to focus on playing well in Serie A. But for the title fight I think it's impossible for Juventus to do this this season.

Serie A teams still have one more week before the new season starts officially. They can make use of this period to do last touches to their squad to be even stronger for the beginning of the season. Napoli don't need to add many players as they are keeping their squad quality nearly the same as the previous season.

Milan have also signed so many players so far to strengthen various positions. They might also slow down from now on. Inter might add a couple of players maybe just to increase the number of alternatives. But I think Juventus need player additions the most now especially into the midfield.

From my point of view, there are still some problems in Juventus especially about the mentality issue on their players. They played previous season like they had no will or no spirit to win. I see it like there is no good connection between players as well as between players and the coach. I would even say that Allegri is no longer suitable or no longer a good coach for Juventus.


I did not follow Seria A too much last season, but as far as I know they would not take the 2nd place without the point deduction. Looking at the last standing table, their points is 62 and they got deducted by 10 points which mean that their total points should be 72. While Lazio that placed the 2nd position was with 74 points, I have no idea how can Juventus take the 2nd place even there was no deduction. Am I missing something here, please let me know.

Allegri did not include Bonucci's name as one of the players in his plans and he has said in several reports that it has been discussed with Bonucci and Cristiano Giuntoli who is currently serving as Juventus' new sporting director but Bonucci still wants to spend his remaining contract for another season.

The news is still confusing and I personally feel that this cannot be immediately concluded who is wrong and right, it's just that making a direct write-off on Bonucci's remaining contract is not justified but for other details we certainly still don't know the whole thing. happened.

The owner of the club Napoli has confirmed Osimhen will certainly continue to play with Napoli this season besides that Osimhen is still under contract for the next 2 years so he can't make personal decisions. if we want to hear news of Osimhen's move then it should be next season, ideally the club will release or extend the player's contract when the contract has one more season left. With this statement, we are sure that Napoli is still ambitious to win the Italian League title.

As far as I know there is still no official confirmation that Osimhen has signed a new contract with Napoli for the time being. We have seen so many crazy things happen recently that I wouldn't be too sure about Osimhen staying at Napoli for as long as the transfer market is still open. They have been saying that there was an agreement and such, but nobody actually confirmed that in an official statement and there are still rumors going on about Osimhen. I don't think he will go to Saudi Arabia, which was also discussed, but European clubs could still be after him.

I don't think the coach would want to take chances, he might probably rest him for the match even though he's fit to play, the coach would want him to fully recover before introducing him into the first 11 again, he seen in past times how players who haven't fully recovered from injury get tested in a match an go back into injury with something severe.
 Though he's their star player at the moment, but they'll really need an alternative player from the bench to replace him before he fully recovers and thankgoodness it's not something very severe and since he's got back into the training the players would try their possible best to win the opener of the season knowing that their star man would be returning soon, oshimen was the most outstanding play last season in Italy and everyone would be looking to see if he'll replicate that form this season.

I hope so but let's see whether he gonna play in the first match on serie a. I don't wanna put a very big expectation on his recovery. I just hope he is doing well with his career. Osimhen is one of most important key in napoli.
Napoli can do nothing without him. Im feeling so skeptical with the result in the first match of napoli soon. Napoli may not have a chance to win scudetto again this seas as its competitors were doing better and better.

There are no changes happened in napoli right now.

Victor Osimhen is prudent striker after winning the scudetto with his club, Osimhen knows basically his functions and he delivered his team in every game he starts.  It's really rare to see such confident striker these days in football, and Napoli are fortunate to have him. Perhaps it's just matter of days before the Seria A kickoff for the new season, before then Victor Osimhen would have regain his recovery measures and fully fit for his attacking role for the Parthenopeans. However, Napoli president,  Aurelio de Laurentiis believes the newly appointed, Rudi Garcia record good performance in friendly games, let's see what he can offered for the club in the new season.

Juventus avoid buying several players because they don't want to do things that are detrimental to the team, regarding the desire of the manager Massimiliano Allegri, to bring in Romelu Lukaku, some JUVENTUS management do not want this exchange to happen, and build growth in the sector of young players to build the economic sector and progress and growth in the prospect of selling players in the future, if Juventus experiences a financial crisis, this possibility could occur because of the punishment that Juventus faced last season which caused a player crisis to occur at Juventus, then management builds from the gross young players to develop in the future. .

Victor Osimhen is one of the young players that Napoli has for their attack line so it will be very detrimental if Victor Osimhen suffers an injury and has to be absent from matches for this season because Napoli also still want a trophy for the 2023/24 season.
I think that Osimhen's injury was only a minor injury so that could recover faster and be able to practice and play when Napoli held matches, but for now because after recovering from injury I think Osimhen will only sit on the bench and play in the mid minutes or end as a players substitute.

Osimhen has made quite a number of achievements during his career with Napoli and of course he will really need to be able to win every game, especially for the League which really needs points so that he can always be at the top or in the top position.

Juventus currently lacks the financial resources necessary to construct a formidable team. Consequently, entertaining the notion of their league title victory appears rather unrealistic. However, their prospects of securing a position within the top four remain quite feasible. Personally, I believe attaining second place would constitute a significant accomplishment for them.

Nonetheless, it is crucial to acknowledge the escalating strength of their competitors, and at this moment inability to acquire new players is really a big problem. A notable example to consider is Milan, who significantly bolstered their squad by successfully recruiting desired individuals.

Well, it's true that Osimhen's injury doesn't seem to be a serious injury. And it seems that he will be able to play normally again in the near future. And of course this will make Napoli feel a little relieved. Because Napoli without Osimhen will definitely be very bad. But luckily the opponent that Napoli will face in the first match later doesn't seem like a team to worry about. Even if Osimhen has to rest in that match, I'm pretty sure the Napoli squad will still be able to win the match against Frosinone. Because the history of the meeting between Frosinone and Napoli shows that Napoli has always been far superior, even for a long time. So I think Napoli will be fine even though in their first match they have to play without Osimhen.

Victor Osimhen got injured and he resumed training again yesterday thought so I assume his injury isn't that serious and since Napoli first game will be played in a week then he can be in the list of players, maybe not in the starting eleven but as a substitute who can play whenever the coach find it suitable for him to play. Frosinone don't seem to be fit to face the scudetto winner especially as a first game for them in Serie A.

From the reports I've read so far, the injury that Victor Osimhen picked from training isn't a serious one that'll keep him sidelined for weeks.
The ankle injury isn't gonna take much of his time in the new season before he returns to action. Napoli really need their talisman to be fit ahead of the new season challenge. The club knows that they have to start the season in front foot in other to have a success title defense.

I can't believe that Juventus still doing something financially troublesome for them. Firing bonucci is understandable but give him the compensation he requires because if you do not then there will be maybe more punishment, this time it could be just money and nothing else but it's still a trouble for them. After having a year like last year I would have guessed that they would be smarter about their money issues and wouldn't really take any risks.

Doing these type of things do not really matter and I do not think that they should do this. In the end they did what they should and they ended up with a lawsuit on their lap. Lets see how they will handle the situation and how they could respond to the legal action Bonucci has taken.

There is a lot of excitement for the impending Serie A season because other leagues like the Premier League and Ligue 1 have already started. Empoli vs Verona and Frosinone vs Napoli are the first games. It is interesting to see how Napoli the current Serie A winners will match up against Frosinone the Serie B champions from last season. Despite Napoli strength there is some uncertainty because of the change of coaches. Given that Rudi Garcia replaces Luciano Spalleti who led Napoli to victory his selection raises questions. While Napoli superiority is obvious this encounter promises surprises and the ability to adapt to change may have an impact on the result.

Milan's midfield wasn't quite impressive until the new transfers. They have added 3 midfielders to the squad so far - Loftus-Cheek, Yunus Musah and Reijnders. Loftus-Cheek is the most experienced player among them and I have liked him so far also. I will be expectant from him the most. Reijnders also seem like a player who can make a good contribution with goals and assists according to his recent stats.

I don't have much information about Musah but hopefully he is promising. The additions to wings are also nice - Pulisic and Chukwueze. I just doubt Okafor for the striker role as we haven't seen much from him yet. But hopefully Milan can be the place for his career to reach a higher point.
