If you look at Giroud age, Giroud is indeed old because he is 36 years old and for this season he is still AC Milan choice on the front line because Ac Milan has yet to find a suitable replacement for their front line. I think Giroud won't be as aggressive as last season because of his old age. Okafor was brought in as a potential replacement for Giroud if Giroud is unable to play full time due to age or quickly running out of energy then Okafor would be the right signing to replace him.

We will see the formation of pioli next season, will pioli put up a 4-3-3 to support their performance at the start of the season with Leoa, Giroud and Okafor up front. I think Ac milan has a strong enough squad to welcome Serie A this season.

Playing at high levels requires very advanced performances, it takes a beastly physique and when you get older it becomes difficult to play at those levels
Milan is on the move so it is not certain that theyll stay alone with Giroud, they take another one for sure

I also prefer that Romelu Lukaku is at a club where his presence is greatly appreciated because it is not only about where he is, but to what extent he will be appreciated by many when he is at a club. This is about a career and it really needs to be considered carefully from now on because the season will start soon so there is no more time to think about things that are still uncertain even though Romelu Lukaku himself still wants to be in Italy this season.

Lukaku was not included in Mauricio Pochettino main squad list, Inter Milan failed to make Lukaku's status permanent because they did not reach a price agreement with Chelsea. Furthermore, Lukaku was labeled a traitor by Inter for establishing communication with Juventus when Inter were trying to recruit him. Chelsea pushed Lukaku into those talks with Juve as they wanted a swap for Dusan Vlahovic.

Seeing how complicated this transfer saga is, puts Lukaku in a difficult situation. The EPL is about to start and the summer transfer window is coming to an end. However, recently Lukaku has been linked with Tottenham, whether this is part of the scenario to replace Harry Kane role, there has been no definite news so far.

Juventus fans reportedly do not want Lukaku play for their favorite club, Lukaku current fate is really bad, and it is unlikely that he will play in Serie A again. I personally haven't heard about rumours of Lukaku will be recruit by Tottenham, but if it's true then he better accept it because if not maybe Chelsea will sell him to the Saudi League considering Al Hilal also still want him.

He has probably exaggerated telling the fans at all the clubs how much he loves them and how he is looking forward to play for club x. He has so far played for 8 different clubs (for some clubs he played 2 times) in his career and he is 30 years old. I think the people have enough of his talk of how much he enjoys to be there and wants to make the fans enjoy the game. He has been a money-grubbing player most of the time and only when it didn't work out at his new love he went back to his old love... Cheesy

Lukaku loves them all but it seems that nobody loves Lukaku anymore.

I also agree with the people who say that Napoli's winning a back-to-back title is pretty difficult. Because first of all they aren't a team that have had it in their veins to become championships quite many times in the league. It must be around 30 years ago that the last time they became champions here. They have finally put an end to this longing. But from now on we never know if they can do this often. I must admit a fact that they have built a quite solid squad with some really talented players in it.

It's hard to say that Napoli would have successfully defended the Scudetto without Spalletti as coach, because I have little doubt about Rudi Garcia. On the other hand, the fact that one of the factors that Napoli succeeded in winning the Scudetto was due to the declining performance of several clubs that often lead the Serie A standings, such as Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan.

I think given the tougher competition this season questions still remain over Napoli consecutive Serie A victories. Since many opposition clubs seem well-prepared this year, unlike last, Napoli's victory is less likely. With more capable opponents, their earlier advantages might no longer apply. Due to rising competition and a dearth of seasoned players, even Champions League ambitions appear bleak. The projected success of the previous season was prevented by general team shortcomings.

Their chemistry was also amazing with Spalletti. But he has left and Rudi Garcia is in his place. For now we never know how they can perform with his management.

Therefore, even if Napoli keep Osimhen to not leave in this transfer window but still, Napoli will not be able to repeat its success like last season. So, if there is an offer with a large fee for Osimhen, then I think it will be good for Napoli finances too. But yes, maybe Napoli are also still trying to keep Osimhen in the team, at least with the aim of defending the scudetto. So yes, let's just wait, how Napoli performance and also Osimhen performance next season, whether it is still consistent or experience a decline.

If Napoli are to retain the scudetto this season,they must first of all make sure they retain all the players they have in the team, especially the key players that really mattered last season when it comes to winning the tittle.Osimhen is one of them and I still believe Napoli can do it again if they keep to the standard they were last season,and if they atleast recruit some new players into the team,I think they still have a high chance of winning it again.And Napoli to sell Osimhen this season,I would really be surprised if a deal for him will happen,but I don't see his deal as one that will materialise,although I know that there are a lot of teams looking forward to getting his signature,but I know Napoli won't be stupid to let their star player leave when they have champions league to play next season.

The protest by Juventus fans yesterday was one of the least expected of them to voice out their dissatisfaction of the club's decision to sign Romelu Lukaku and I don't expect the club to go ahead and sign a player that majority of the fans aren't happy with his presence.
So much have been said concerning the future of Lukaku which I believe wants to remain in Italy but the earlier he leaves Italy and go to a club where his services will be appreciated the better for his Football career

I also prefer that Romelu Lukaku is at a club where his presence is greatly appreciated because it is not only about where he is, but to what extent he will be appreciated by many when he is at a club. This is about a career and it really needs to be considered carefully from now on because the season will start soon so there is no more time to think about things that are still uncertain even though Romelu Lukaku himself still wants to be in Italy this season.

For now, all the teams in Serie A have made a lot of changes in the squad, AC Milan has been the most aggressive in recruiting players. Of course Napoli will have a hard time defending the Scudetto, unless they have great luck.

Rudi Garcia is not new manager in Serie A competition, he has know well after long time as AS Roma manager and know how difficult how to defense scudetto next season, but I don't doubt with Rudi Garcia capacity actually Napoli squad not change drastically from Spalletti era except losing Kim Min-jae. I don't see any drastically change with Serie A teams because several new sign not regular player position current AC Milan, Juventus and Inter transfer. Optimistic with Napoli has chance for defending their Scudetto next season due Victor Osimhen still in Napoli squad and they have more solid player than rival teams.

Usually, Juventus always have surprise with transfer activities but for season 2023/24 there are not any significant transfer did and difficult for signing Lukaku.

Al Hilal sent an offer for Victor Osimhen a few days and they wanted to hire this player for a huge amount of money but it seems even their offer was not high enough for Napoli and they are not going to sell Osimhen to Napoli, now Victor Osimhen is very close to extending his contract with Napoli and they are ready to sign. The only thing about this transfer is Napoli sets a 150mtag price for this player while he wants 110m.

I have heard of this rumor before and it seems that Al-Hilal did not need to think long about making a big offer for Napoli in order to secure the services of this great striker. Certainly Napoli won't let him go easily even though as you said that fee isn't even enough to satisfy Napoli. However, if the two teams reach an agreement, I think that Victor Osimhen's personal decision will reject the offer.

We know he is still young and in his best form now is the right time to continue to show his consistency with Napoli. Moreover, winning Serie A is also one of his targets and I don't think Al-Hilal will be enough to interest Victor Osimhen even though he will earn a salary per season of more than 50 million euros.

It's undeniable that Spaletti was an important figure in Napoli winning Serie A last season, and now they can no longer be with them. It's natural to doubt that they'll be able to defend the title they won last season. But that doesn't mean they really can't do it, because the opportunity is still there, and all the clubs in Serie A have a chance, it's just that maybe the difference is how big their chances are, from the biggest, to the smallest there is obviously.
Their superiority last season will they be able to do it again? let's just wait.

In my opinion, Napoli made some totally suicidal moves, arguing with a good coach who led you to victory, making key players leave who by now knew the schemes by heart and who knew how to fit well into the team: I am skeptical about the performances.

Napoli did not argue with the previous coach. Spalletti's reason for leaving was because he wanted to relax with his long-estranged family and Napoli respected that decision so it would be ridiculous to blame Napoli just because of Spalletti's amicable agreement there.

At the moment there are a lot of doubts about Napoli but looking at the current conditions isn't this the same as last season where Napoli were also underestimated for removing some important players like Dries Mertens and Koulibaly but in the end they were able to and now I think it's not too appropriate to underestimate Napoli again but still don't see the performance for next season especially since they are the defending champions this time.

I am one of those people who have a lot of doubt about the Napoli situation, sure they won it last year but that doesn't mean that they are going to be able to do the same thing again. I believe that first of all they fired the manager who made them the champions, that was already the most stupid thing they could have done, I have no idea what was the reason but if it was money then they should have given him whatever money he wanted to keep him.

Secondly, players who won last year do not mean that they are going to be able to play the same level as well, they are going to play differently with a new manager and they may not be as good as last year. This is why there is a big doubt about it for sure without a doubt.

I share your doubt on this one. Napoli isn't one of those clubs yet that produces exceptional results year after year. This doesn't mean they won't play well and are again competing for the title, but there is a difference between winning the trophy with 75 points and winning the trophy with 90 points. Scoring 90 points is exceptional whereas scoring 75 points is good and can still bring the title when the rest of the league doesn't play well. There was a time when Juventus Turin was literally unstoppable because they could have a winning streak of 10 or even more games at any time. I don't think Napoli is there yet. But I wouldn't doubt that they will be good again and we need to wait and see whether one other team plays an exceptional season. I would not expect for all the team to improve. I think it is more likely that a gap like last year won't exist between the 1st and the rest.

I hope Victor Osimhen does not accept this offer, even though the Saudi Arabian team pays him a high salary but his future (career) will definitely not develop if he does not play in Europe's top leagues, Victor Osimhen is still very young and it is possible for him to achieve many achievements with a team or individually, so I think it's better that he doesn't go there.

On the other hand, the management of the Napoli team so far has always maintained very strong Victor Osimhen because it is clear that they say that they still need Victor Osimhen next season to stabilize the team's performance after being left by the coach and several other core players.

I have the same expectation with you for Victor Osimhen not accepting all fantastic offer from Saudi Pro League teams because he still young and has chance winning many kinds of individual trophies when playing with top European teams. Based on consistent performance last season and top scorer for Napoli, Victor Osimhen has potential give many tittles for Napoli in this season and he has chance close with Ballon D'or if prefer staying with Napoli or European top teams than joining with Saudi Pro League teams.

Have second chance for Victor Osimhen accepting Pro League teams one day later when he has success with many tittles in European teams, possibility if Saudi Pro League existing until few years later, Victor Osimhen can join there on 30 to 32 years old than leaves Napoli for accepting Saudi Arabia teams on golden age.

I never thought that if lazio has a plan to snatch casadei from chelsea. Casadei was a very potential player even though his age is still young at this moment. Casadei already agreed to join in leicester city but lazio sees it as an opportunity to hijack him from leicester city's transfer.
Lazio has not yet approached him at this moment. Lazio will do that as soon as possible. Lazio can be a good place for him but i think that if the chance for lazio to convince him to go back again to the serie a is quite small at this moment.
Chelsea sent him to the leicester city as a loan as the club wants him to get regular time to develop himself. Casadei is a worthy player to be recruited by lazio.
Geno has been also linked to him but the club gave up on him.

I think Victor Osimhen should accept this offer and join Al Hilal since he is a player who we all anticipate to receive high-value bids from prominent European clubs such as Real Madrid and others, but the transfer window is drawing to an end with no serious offers from them. If he continues at Napoli, I believe he will be less valued, thus it is best if he takes a decision and moves to the Sudi League for a greener pasture, as they are offering him massive money.

Al Hilal attempted to sign Mbappe, but the player decided to stay in Europe, thus they are considering signing Osimhen if possible in order to have a good striker.

I think that napoli has no intention to let osimhen leaves from the club in summer. it's unlikely the offer from al hilal gonna be accepted by napoli. This is a very interesting thing caused by al hilal will try to put more offer for osimhen.
Osimhen is already committed to stay in napoli till next season. Osimhen has not extended his contract with napoli. Al hilal is still fighting for him.

Napoli doesn't really need money at this moment. I think that al hilal's offer has zero chance to be accepted by napoli.

I am also starting to think it is a strategy to not give it away, i.e. put a very high price in order to discourage the teams that want it
after all, even the player has expressed his willingness to stay, it would be really foolish to give him away!!

Lukaku is a very talented player. Lukaku's performance with Inter Milan last season was not bad. He has performed quite well. Still, I don't know why Juventus fans are not interested in signing Lukaku. Juventus are not interested in spending too much money. If they wanted to spend more money, they would have tried to sign Harry Kane or Mbappe. They also wanted to take Osimhen in the team. Juventus management is not interested in spending too much money so they chose Lukaku. Fans shouldn't behave like that. I think Lukaku would have been able to perform well if he could have adapted to Juventus' squad.

Agree with you Lukaku is a very talented striker and to this day he can still be considered one of the most lethal attackers. Strikers are needed by Juventus, as a "wall" of runners, headers, duels. I think those who don't like it mean they don't want Juventus to win the title, Juventus fans have to see all this. As you also said the only good transfer is max. Juventus saw an opportunity to bring in Lukaku because Lukaku realized he was useless at Chelsea, while Inter didn't want to buy him at a high price, like it or not Lukaku had to secure his place.

Even though he was bought at a high price I think Napoli will still keep him, I also don't think that Osimhen wants to move to Al Hilal because he is too young to sacrifice his career in the Arab league for that I believe he will continue to play in the European leagues including at Napoli, at least he might want to achieve the best results like last season to get the title in the Italian league this season too.

I'm not a Napoli supporter who fully knows the overall development but I saw some news reports that he was injured more often, but maybe that's what makes the media that Napoli will lose out if they don't sell him to Al Hilal, while we know Osimhen is still too young to bury his career . I want to see again how he plays with Napoli this season. I think he will also sign a new contract with Napoli.
