Milan have missed the opportunity of signing Gabriel Jesus as he is officially an Arsenal player from now on. Their search for a striker is still going on and I wonder if they will manage to bring a solid one like Gabriel Jesus to the team. Next season is going to be very challenging for them in the Serie A and the Champions League both. They need to consolidate their squad as much as possible to have a decent season. It is going to be difficult for them to win the Serie A championship twice so they should get prepared well.

I think Milan did the right thing avoiding the deal to bring Gabriel Jesus. They have good attacking options and needed to fill a simple void which Origi fits perfectly. Origi is a reliable back up compared to Jesus and relatively cheaper too. Why spend 50m on Gabriel Jesus when you can get Origi for free (they have similar stats by the way, with origi playing less games too)

Challenging ? Do you think Gabriel Jesus would have been a better player than Divock Origi ? Zlatan Ibrahimovic ? Yes Zlatan is injured but I believe he would continue a season with AC Milan.
From time, Gabriel's agent has always has aired some talks about he's client playing for a club in the premier league. Also been close to Arteta must have made the deal easy.
I believe Ac Milan will make with into the Champions League and play very well. Ibrahimovic may likely sign an extension once he returns from rehabilitation center.

Gabriel Jesus is not a bad player, he is talented enough. But it is foolish to compare Gabriel Jesus with Ibrahimovic. Ibra is an extraordinary player. Also, Divock Origi and Jesus seem to me to be players of the same quality. And so I don't think Milan has suffered a loss without Gabriel Jesus. Milan is still strong enough. And Milan still have the potential to win the Serie A title next season.

Obviously due to age. With players of this age, clubs prefer to conclude short-term contracts - there are no guarantees that the player will be able to maintain his level for several more years. And at the same time, nothing prevents to extend the contract if everything is fine. Real Madrid also signed a one-year contract with Modric, and this is normal even if you take into account all the regalia of Modric and his contribution to the team.

I agree because this is a normal situation and done by many top teams. For example Messi at PSG, Ronaldo at Manchester United, as well as a number of older players in top teams. They will only get a short-term contract with the possibility of an extension depending on their performance.

Maybe it's not Milan's fault, but it has something to do with the desire of the player (Gabriel Jesus) who still wants to play in the Premier League. Milan may still be able to get another player if they are interested in an alternative. There are plenty of strikers available to buy, so it's not just Jesus.

Now I think that Inter are much stronger with the Lukaku transfer. Even if it is a loan deal I see it as good for them. Because I remember the season Conte's Inter had and won the Serie A title. In that season Lukaku and Martinez both showed incredible performances. They were a superb duo I mean. Therefore I'm expecting to see the same thing again. Maybe Lukaku didn't have a proper season with Chelsea but he seems contented with returning to Inter now. We can watch another great season for him.

Will Lukaku need time again adapt with Inter Milan under Simone Inzaghi? several match I saw Inter Milan adopt with 3-5-2 formation and looks the same under Antonio Conte and Lukaku success scoring goal for Inter Milan. I think if keep the same formation used by Inter Milan, Lukaku will be most danger central forward on Serie A. Have chance he can back as top scorer for Inter Milan next season and give back scudetto for his team after loss opportunity in this season taken by AC Milan. Next season will we see again Inter Milan duo between Lutaro Martinez and Lukaku but we need waiting how far both central forward have impact for Inter.

I think it obviously is going to take a little time for Lukaku to be able to get back into his form. Because he was not used very well in the Chelsea lineup. He also did not get enough play time that he wanted or needed. So it is going to take a little time in my opinion. But I don’t think he is going to face too many difficulties having a little different atmosphere in the team. I think it will be actually better for Inter because they will be able to score more goals from now on.

I think, this is a welcome development to AC Milan because the team really lacked in the areas of achieving early goals in any competition. AC Milan will definitely improve higher in next season because Origi is a talented striker that know how to achieve early goals from any matches in Italian league competition, which he will like to help AC Milan to win next title. Based on the AC Milan preparation, showed that the team will be more stronger than before because Origi will going to corporate with their old strikers so that they will be able to achieve what they want from the Italian competition.

I think it depends on Origi's compatibility with the players and the strategy the coach will implement. Origi does have a good performance, and that will make AC Milan's appearance this season even better.
I'm still waiting for another recruit after Origi. I'm sure Milan won't be done with one new player. Milan had to compete with a new power that its competitors in Serie A also formed.

Ibrahimovic is an extraordinary player at this moment, at the age of 40 and his contract expires today but Ibrahimovic is still willing to extend his contract for at least another year until he is 41. It's a veteran player who still has very good fitness but even though Milan signed Origi doesn't mean Milan will be stronger, because the competition next season will certainly be more difficult and we can see big changes made by rival teams like Juventus who are very good at signing players.

It was actually interesting to know what Zlatan Ibrahimović told the reporter who asked him if he wants to go back to his country or retire because he has his son there. Ibrahimovic said, ”why would I want to go there? I only have 1 son there and I have 10 sons here”. Grin

.

So, retirement is not in his mind for sure. He is going to play as long as he can and until I think he suffers a big injury or gets really old like 45. And the competition at the top of the table especially is going to be really hard because all the top teams are making big changes

120 million for a defender is a stop-off and it is unlikely that Chelsea will buy him for that kind of money. Another thing is that they have a good budget and they can agree on a more reasonable figure. I think it would be profitable for Juventus to sell him and then find a replacement - in any case, with the departure of Chiellini, they have deeply worked out the defender market and I'm sure they have several potential options.

I think that 120 million as price for De Ligt is too much high. That defender doesn't deserve that value, there are many strong defender compared to him that doesn't have the same value (see marquinhos for example).
Anyway, I've also heard that Di Maria finally has accepted to come to Juventus, I'm really surprised to see that, but my question is, why only 1 year of contract?

Obviously due to age. With players of this age, clubs prefer to conclude short-term contracts - there are no guarantees that the player will be able to maintain his level for several more years. And at the same time, nothing prevents to extend the contract if everything is fine. Real Madrid also signed a one-year contract with Modric, and this is normal even if you take into account all the regalia of Modric and his contribution to the team.

Having a 1-year contract is now profitable for clubs. Clubs will increase their contracts if players can adapt to the team and maintain form. Otherwise, after 1 year, they will look for a new player. Di Maria and Luka Modrich are about 35 and 37 years old, respectively. It is very difficult to keep fit at this age. And so Real Madrid and Juventus have signed a 1-year contract.

Divock Origi is being considered as a substitute for Zlatan Ibrahimović. But can Origi be a worthy replacement for Ibra? Ibra is a very talented player, at the same time he could help strengthen the morale of the team players. Origi is a talented player. If AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli can use Origi properly, he will fight to win the AC Milan title next season.

Origi is an experienced and skilled player, he deserves to be Ibrahimović's replacement. He may be not the same as Ibrahimović, he has different characteristics. But if he can contribute well and improve Milan productivity in scoring, it surely will strengthen the whole players' morale. Well, I assume he has an opportunity to prove that he has the right player to replace Ibrahimović's role in the field. Now, it depends on how Origi can adapt well on AC Milan tactics.

Origi is a good player and there is no doubt about that but will he be able to replace Zlatan Ibrahimović? this is the bigger question.
I think he will be motivated to prove that he is capable of producing some good results and he is not hyped as much as a lot of other players and that is going to be a positive for him in my opinion.

-snip-

Honestly, I'm not sure Divock Origi will be successful with AC Milan, because seeing his performances with Liverpool is not so impressive.
But maybe because Origi at Liverpool didn't get much playing time so it was difficult to develop, hopefully with AC Milan Origi can develop
into a productive striker. Because currently AC Milan does need a new striker, which Ibrahimovic had to rest due to injury until next year.
The 27-year-old Divock Origi will sign a 4-year contract with AC Milan, and make Origi AC Milan's first signing in this summer's transfer market.
Next AC Milan immediately brought Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea by paying 5 million euros for the loan fee, then after that will pay 20 million euros
at the end of next season to make it permanent. It's not too expensive for a good player like Ziyech. Moreover, Ziyech is reportedly already unhappy
with Chelsea, so the possibility of Ziyech's move to AC Milan will be realized soon.

Playing for Liverpool and playing for Milan is a very different thing.
In Liverpool, he had a lot of competition in the team itself and he also had really harder opponents compared to what he is going to face in the Italian league. And he should also be keen to prove himself. This is a very good opportunity for him. I don’t obviously think that it is going to be any easier for him because he has a lot more responsibility on him right now but I think he should be more confident.

inter milan have completed the signing of Kristjan Asllani on loan from empoli with an obligation to make the deal permanent

He is one of those wonderkids who is on a pretty good rise in popularity at the moment even if you look at his performances it is already said that he is one of the Maedtro candidates in midfield and his performances at Empoli are quite good, even though his name is not too flashy when compared to another wonderkid but I think he is quite capable of playing well and supplying the ball well from midfield to attack.

After successfully getting Lukaku, now Inter Milan are increasing their priority in the central midfield sector by bringing in Kristjan Asllani from Empoli, I think Kristjan Asllani will add creativity to Inter Milan attack next season considering his performance this season with Empoli is quite good, has a role and expertise in deciding attacks and Also the distribution of the ball from the opposing side will certainly be an ideal replacement for Inter Milan after the departure of Ivan Parisic to Tottenham Hotspur.

The thing is, Inter is not bringing Lukaku into the team as a transfer. They are bringing him in as a loan player. I am not saying that the salon suggests that they don’t have a good amount of money but as far as I know the financial situation of Inter-is not very good. But they are getting good enough players in my opinion. The next season can be very well.
...

You know it right. Inter are really not in a wonderful financial condition currently. It must be the reason why they found the Lukaku deal much more profitable than signing another striker by paying a big transfer fee. They are going to pay an amount only around 8 million euros for his loan deal.
By the way I heard something about Lautaro Martinez's condition too and it is said that he is very happy at Inter and doesn't want to leave now for sure. This is good news for them undoubtedly. I can't wait to watch Lukaku and him playing together again! Cheesy

It is actually crazy to say that Inter just sold this player for 97 million if I am correct and one year later that same player is back on the team.

What a waste of money by Chelsea! Lips sealed

I don’t want to offend anyone but I never thought he was worth that much money. But getting this player on the loan is also not bad for Inter. If Lautaro Martinez decides to stay in the team as well I think the attacking lineup is going to be really strong for them going into the next season.

If AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli can use Origi properly, he will fight to win the AC Milan title next season.

He needs to adjust or adapt to the atmosphere of the serie A. Don't be too quick to compare Origi with Ibrahimovic because these two players have their own characteristics and have different patterns of play maybe Ibrahimovic excels with strong strength making it difficult for opponents to snatch the ball from him, Divock Origi maybe it took time to prove himself as the most appropriate person for AC Milan attack line. Origi with giroud will be the mainstay of AC Milan next season to defend the Scudetto title.

How is the latest news from Kessie, who initially wanted to leave AC Milan but until now there has been no right decision on his establishment.

I don’t know if Origi is going to be able to successfully replace Zlatan Ibrahimović. Ibrahimović himself is not absolutely worthless to be honest because he played quite well in the last season and contributed to the team well.

And yes both of the players are very different on and off the field. But I honestly don’t think Millan is going to be able to defend that Italian league title if they just go through the transfer season so casually as they are doing right now.

About Franck Kessié I found this article to be very useful

I don't see Juventus making plans for Koullibaly, they should look for younger talented players.. I'd love to see players to last long for the club as the likes of Bonucci and Cheilini did for for Juventus.
Juan Cuadrado should be replaced for the right back role this season, I know Allegri would look into it. Morata will be a Juventus player next season, after moving from Chelsea to Madrid to Juventus and back to Athletico Madrid once again.

When it comes to centre-backs I don't think that they must be very young. Because the situation is a little more different for defenders. Having an experienced defender in the team is better most of the time for feeling safe about conceding many goals. I also wouldn't like to mean that having a very old defender is always good. It depends on that player. When it comes to experienced defenders I think the best age range is 30-35. Koulibaly is a good candidate to me because of that.

Juventus definitely needs an experienced defender. Juventus' performance last season disappointed me. They were not even in the fight to win the title. As a Juventus fan I definitely want to see the Juventus team in a stronger position next season. For this, we must strengthen the forward and the defense. Since Chiellini has already left Juventus and de Ligt may also leave Juventus, their performance will deteriorate further next season if Juventus do not sign a new defender.

Pogba's game could not go well due to the fact that there were always some kind of conflicts in the team, and in such an atmosphere it is difficult to show good results. There are also situations when a player simply cannot fulfill himself in a certain team, as was the case with Aubameyang at Arsenal, his performance was disgusting, but look how he started playing when he moved to Barcelona, he scored goals almost in every match, nothing has changed the player was the same, he just moved to another team.

In the last season, the way Juventus started the season I was quite surprised. I am generally not used to watching Juventus starting a season like that. But to be honest they had some problems in the team. They didn’t have a balanced team and they also had some injury issues throughout the whole season. It can only get better from the next season.

I think Pogba is going to play a lot better in Juventus. He did not play well in Manchester United because the team was not balanced at all and it was a horror show in Manchester United. I don’t think he is going to have too many problems getting set in Juventus.

In that season Lukaku and Martinez both showed incredible performances. They were a superb duo I mean. Therefore I'm expecting to see the same thing again. Maybe Lukaku didn't have a proper season with Chelsea but he seems contented with returning to Inter now. We can watch another great season for him.

With this Lukaku transfer, it will clearly have a much bigger impact on Inter's attacking line and indeed their potential to win the Scudetto is now even greater, especially if you look at their current rivals, namely Milan or indeed Juventus, their readiness is quite lacking, especially Milan also has problems with finances. them so this wouldn't be too good for them.
Hopefully for next season there will be something interesting because if you look at this season, even though it is actually competitive, it feels quite competitive, but some big teams are very doubtful about their consistency.

Romelu Lukaku's return for the second time to Inter Milan can at least provide fresh air for the Inerazuri to return to compete for the Scudetto title next season considering they failed to defend the title last season where they had to lose to compete with city rivals AC Milan, Inter Milan will again be the main favorite in the race for the Scudetto title, remember that their rivals are less active in the player transfer market, even AC Milan itself is currently not making such an active move in the transfer market as they did last season because they are currently experiencing a club financial crisis.

Juventus have only Bonucci, de Ligt and Rugani as defenders now. Chiellini is leaving to join Los Angeles FC as you must have heard already. I think that Juventus will need to sign at least one defender to keep themselves decent about their defense. de Ligt is also rumoured to leave by the way as Chelsea are highly interested in him. But if Juventus let him go by only his release clause then this transfer may not happen. Because his release clause is worth 120 million euros.

Seeing the news a few weeks ago they were eyeing Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly but this news has immediately gone unheard but indeed I quite agree because indeed they still need defenders now.
Chielini's role was vital at Juventus but now he's gone and there's no reason why they shouldn't be looking for a defender for now.

Juventus will looking for new defenders i'm sure about that but for Koulibaly i don't know why Juventus has withdraw to get this player and the latest rumours is Koulibaly linked to Chelsea but Juventus had silent transfer now and reported is they already deal with Genoa to buy Andrea Cambiaso so in the near future Cambiaso will do medical check and Juventus get this player very cheap only 3,5 millions euro plus Radu Dragusin as part of the deal although this player cannot be consider as the replacement of Chielini but he can be new alternative for defensive position because Cambiaso can played as left back or center back
