This and it also has been mentioned before that nobody knows whether the trouble off the field for Juventus Turin is now finally over. It could go on and further investigations could happen on a European level as well. With all those uncertainties plaguing the club, new players will carefully consider their decisions before going to Juventus as they could run into a bad situation after they signed a contract with them when Juventus gets even further punished. They will need a few years to fully recover from the last season and also from all the drama apart from soccer.

look, if it weren't for the penalty points, Juventus would have been in an excellent position
clearly those missing points were penalized (and that's the reason for the punishment, if they didn't penalize it made no sense)

so actually for me it made a good season considering how they had started

2 players who have been part of their squad up front this season will leave the team and that will leave a void in that position. I'm sure Inter Milan probably already know what they will do with the departure of their 2 players, and indeed they have to find a replacement to fill the void, unless they will entrust the players they have now, or they are playing not like last season and just put Martinez in that position.

The transfer market is still quite long and they still have time to bring in the players they want, including the signing of Thuram who is rumored to be joining Inter Milan soon.

Still a speculation. I can't deny thuram's stats was pretty good last season but i kinda feel if it may be different when he will be playing in serie a. I don't even know whether this is a good buy or not caused by i will prefer to see inter makes lukaku as permanent transfer rather than try to buy thuram from gladbach. It's caused by lukaku has been fully adapting with serie a while thuram must try to adapt with the environment and competitions in serie a.
This will be far tougher than playing in the farming league like bundesliga.. This makes me think if lukaku will become a better choice rather than buy thuram from gladbach.
I can only hope if it's the right decision from intermilan but lukaku has been able playing perfectly with inter. That means intermilan must also adapt with the new striker.

I think Inter Milan have taken a good step after successfully hooking Marcus Thuram, he is projected to replace Dzeko who left for Fenerbahce. I'm pretty sure Thuram will make a positive impact up front alongside Martinez. Apart from that, Inter also looked very aggressive in the summer transfer market, besides Thuram Inter were also able to bring in Azpilicueta for free, even though he is relatively old, his presence will certainly get a good injection of morale for other players. But I hope that Inzaghi will keep Onana under the rule and will not be swayed by tempting offers from other teams. I'm sure if Onana leaves it will be very regrettable in the future.

Osimhen's performance this season is why Napoli will demand a high price for him. As one of the best players to score goals and perform well this season, osimhen will be sought after by every team, and he will also want to play for another team to win more trophies and end his career on a high note. However, I don't believe he will be able to switch teams this time because Napoli depends on him now.
Osimhen can play well for many clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich, because these teams have teammates who will work with him to score goals.

None will try to buy him with such price. No top team will try to buy him at such a price.. There are also many strikers that have good performance like him. Even many clubs have been walking away from getting kane.
The top club prefers waiting him to leave from napoli with free agent.

Osimhen seems agreed to extend his contract if napoli will be offering him a new contract. It's also happening for kvarat as napoli wants these players to stay at the club even longer.

Problems from Napoli now might happen because indeed they are also anxious about Mbappe and PSG's problems.
Now Mbappe and PSG are in a state of uncertainty and when in the end Mbappe leaves then inevitably a domino effect will exist for Napoli because with some initial rumors currently PSG are considering a replacement for Mbappe when he leaves and his main choice now is Osimhen even PSG have no doubts to give 150 million for the initial bid for the Napoli man.

Even though Napoli is trying to fence off its players at a price of more than 100 million, it will not have a big impact on PSG, especially if Madrid and PSG agree with 250 million for Mbappe, they can still use that to bring Osimhen from Napoli even though they still have money left.

Napoli seemed to have deliberately expelled a club that was interested in bringing in Osimhen by setting an expensive price tag, the price that Napoli was asking for made other clubs discourage their intention to pay for Osimhen release fee. The step taken is very appropriate to secure one of the potential players he has, for the success of winning the Scudetto last season made other clubs seem to be interested in the fleet owned by Napoli.

The depth of the team needs to be maintained in order to maintain their performance like last season, they have also just appointed a new coach to replace Spalletti. Big surprises may be hard to come by at Napoli as Osimhen is almost certain to stay as the clubs interested in him are unable to afford the high price tag for the player.

It is certain that Inter will lose their two strikers who will leave in the summer and maybe Inter need not be confused because they have also found replacements. As we know, Marcus Thuram is a good player and he is also still quite young, of course his career will shine even more if he is at Inter.

While with Gladbach last season he scored 16 goals in all German competitions and Simeone Inzaghi seemed to be smart by bringing him to the Giuzeppe Miazza stadium. Because his contract ended at the end of this season, Inter got him on a free agent status. But apart from Marcus Thuram, of course Inter will try to find another striker so that the available options are maximized for next season's attack line.

Victor Osimhen is not not a player targeted by top clubs, but until now it seems that the price offered by Napoli has not been met by the club that wants him, that is what makes it difficult for them to get an agreement with any club, because maybe the price offered by Napoli has not been able to fulfilled by clubs who want his services in the next season. Broadly speaking, this is an advantage for Napoli because they will not be left behind by this valuable player, but let's see if there are any surprises ahead of the end of the transfer market this summer because they usually move towards the end of the transfer market when it closes.

As Dzeko is about to join Fenerbahçe and Lukaku is also about to leave the team I wonder what Inter are planning to do. Because they will need to bring at least one centre-forward to the team in this case. Even one might not be enough in the long run thinking of injury or suspension cases as well. One of these strikers should be a reliable one who can make a good duo with Martinez and the other one can be just a good substitute player who can do well when there is a need for him.

It looks like Marcus Thuram deal is about to become official for Inter already. He is a decent scorer but his being versatile is also an advantage for Inter. Because he can even play as a left winger and his stats there so far have been really nice too.

Romelu Lukaku did a respectable job at Inter Milan last season but it is necessary to take the bigger picture into account. Unquestionably Inter Milan achievement in winning a trophy and making it to the UEFA Champions League final was impressive. However it seems unreasonable to judge Lukaku fit for AC Milan solely on his loyalty to Inter Milan. Player preferences can change over time and players frequently switch clubs for a variety of factors. The focus should be on finding a striker who is more in line with the goals and playing style of AC Milan rather than on Lukaku loyalty. It is important for a team to make choices that are in their best interests and that may entail looking past a particular player even one as good as Lukaku.

It is possible that developments regarding his fate will remain at Napoli or will leave this club very much depends on the transfer of other strikers who are rumored to be going to big clubs like Real Madrid, if there is no agreement then these big clubs will start negotiating to get Osimhen, and this is just my speculation.
But if Napoli really intend to be able to defend the Serie A title next season, the best thing they can do is keep this striker otherwise they will find it very difficult to do so, but if Napoli finally let him go it could be because they need funds, to maintain finances club because of course the costs incurred last season were quite large, we know Serie A clubs are not as rich as big clubs in other leagues.

makes sense, but judging from the performance between André Onana and Lukaku it seems almost the same and for me actually Inter don't need to sell André Onana just to be able to get Lukaku. but if Inter Milan really wants a new player I think the other alternative is to sell Onana but I doubt whether Man United will sign Onana at a fairly high price.
because on the one hand MU is also targeting top players so targeting Onana is too serious and Inter must find another way to improve their finances to bring in new players who are more reliable.

It depends on his goals and aspiration. If his motivating for coaching is money, it is better to run to the Saudi League because they have all the money. But if he aspires to be the best coach in the world or wants to win prestigious trophies, Europe will be his best destination. If it were me, I will move to Saudi because after three years I can still come back to Europe. Coach Massimiliano Allegri is just 55years so he still have time to coach. This is an opportunity to make money because this rave in the Saudi league might not last long. I am just considering what happened to the Chinese league few years ago.   

Napoli has two options; to sell the Nigeran striker or keep him. If the sell him, they will make a lot of profit from him considering they bought him for about 80 million euros. Many clubs will come for him if the price is reduced to 100 million euros in 2020. They will use the fund a buy more players and develop the club. The second option is to keep him and he would help them defend the Italian Serie A title and play in the Uefa Champions league next season. It is possible he might help them will more trophies. But the consequences will be that he might walk away as a free agent after this season because I am not sure if Victor will sign a new contract with Napoli. But we cannot predict the future, Victor might also decide to remain in Napoli and continue with his goal scoring sprees and confirming that he has indeed taken over from the legend Diego Maradona.

Lukaku has so many option but the problem was on himself. He is very harsh to stay in intermilan while chelsea has not agreed with such option. Lukaku can't respect to its contract with chelsea.
This guy is only following what he wanna do. He is losing all of his professionalism as a professional player right now.

Intermilan can't afford to buy him due to the financial condition but intermilan can sell some of its players to be exchanged with him. It will be worthy enough. As far as i know that if MU has been also giving huge offer for onana.
Intermilan can sell onana and used money raised from selling onana to buy lukaku. There are lots of ways to do that.

I don't think Osimhen will be a target for any team this summer. Yeah there have been some speculations linking him with some top teams. But the sum Napoli want for him is really high which is like 130 million euros or so. None of top teams feels the need of spending this much money for a striker as far as I can see.

Even Bayern Munich don't seem interested while they are in a serious need of a striker. They must be looking for strikers who can cost much less than that. Napoli are lucky to have Osimhen for now. But in a one and a half year he will be available to be signed for free. Napoli will need to focus on extending with him after a while.

Otherwise they would have no choice other than selling him instead of losing him without a transfer fee.

It depends on his dream. In Europe football, if He dreams big and also desires to be in the league of top coaches with the most champion league, premier league,  and European league trophies, the best place he should be is the Eirope league and there I will remain if I were to be in his shoe. People that should be dreaming of moving there should be coaches like, Ancelotti, Mourinho, and Pep Guardiola, but this set of coaches still want to achieve more in their career. Massimiliano Allegri hasn't achieved enough to even think of leaving Europe football.

In last few years, Juventus is facing troubling time with on and off the field issues which needs to be settled if they want to have their best in current season most chances they will lose their few top players as they wanted to play Champions League and here things are not as par requirement and if we have no development then most chances we will have another poor season is waiting for them because things are not as which helps them for having better result.

Even currently due to financial issues few other top Italian clubs are also suffering but still situation is better from Juventus which needs to be had strong management and professional mindset which bring good changes and improved results now with the change of coach is also point for the Napoli but can they compete with defending champions it's big question for the Juventus.
