Paul Pogba is back to Juve for FREE after being sold to Man United for 100 mil Euros, 6 years ago. Great piece of business from Juve I suppose. Pogba is still only 29 and is supposed to be in his prime. His performances have been on and off but it doesnt change the fact that he does have the quality and skills in him and could be an asset for the club.
Zlatan Ibrahimović can still have a good effect and a good contribution to the team. But not at the level which we expect him to do. But he sure still can contribute. I actually am not going to mind if they give him another year of the contract. But for the team, I think it will be better if they part ways. He is really old and can perform well in low-tier teams but not at the top level of the Italian league.
Regardless of these reasons, when he return to the San Siro at the age of 39, Ibrahimovic still appeared quite impressive and his contribution was also seen, behind Milan's achievements, Ibrahimovic contributed 33 goals in 60 match played. This season, Ibra did not appear much due to injury, but he still played in 23 matches and contributed 8 goals or the 3rd top score for Milan. Yes, actually it would be better for Ibrahimovic to rest, because Milan still have leao and giroud for next season
Zlatan's current condition about whether to continue playing for Milan is still ambiguous. And this ambiguity can cause his contract to end too as he has only one week left on it. Zlatan is 40 years old and he isn't able to play very effectively too. However I don't have big expectations from him at the same time. He is already a legend to me. He has been helpful for Milan's success in the Serie A mentally especially. Milan players seem they like his presence in this team. I think Milan should continue with him for one more season but we will see if there will be a new deal.

If Zlatan is going to leave or have any other plans then surely it's going to hurt defending champions because they are not active in transfer market, and they have good combination of Giroud and Zlatan which give them very exciting results in last season.
Even if Zlatan Ibrahimovic stays in football for more than one season and most likely in Milan, having extended his contract with the team, in any case, we should not forget that the player will miss about half of the season. Therefore, in any case, the management of Milan needs to keep this in mind and rely on other players, at least for the time of the player's recovery, and after, too, because with all due respect to Zlatan and his excellent physical condition, it is still worth recognizing that he is not getting younger and in any case will not be able to spend all Milan matches and even more complete matches. This also applies to Olivier Giroud, but he is still younger in age and this should be taken into account when planning the squad for next season. AC Milan qualification for the Champions League football shows that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will stay another season with AC Milan. They had both Origi who left Liverpool recently and Giroud. Having a long season to go, they can all count on these strickers to return the favor be scoring goals. Zlatan was offered a season long stay not after they won the Seria A league tittle. The champions league will be lively one, fans waiting for a possible acrobatic and astonishing goal from him.
Don't forget Rafael Leao there because he will certainly be able to develop even more in my opinion even though his future is still unclear whether he will be sold or kept but for now he can still be considered as a player with potential at Milan.For Zlatan I don't expect anything big from him because regardless I still feel that he will only be an encouragement to the young players and make rotations when they are in a hectic schedule.
He's 40 now and it's not very good to push Zlatan.
I think not have chance for Dybala will join Inter Milan next season after success transfer and get back Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea with loan option. Maybe long negotiation between Dybala and Inter Milan management and not get agreement with Dybala, not any other issues except moving to Inter Milan for Dybala because he not on the list window transfer player from other team on Serie A. Will he plays on Primer League and La Liga for next season? Dybala is good option because he has free transfer player and team not needed to spent much money for getting Dybala sign's.
Dybala is now in a difficult position.It's quite difficult to force Inter now that they have Lukaku in the squad. He had also offered himself to Barcelona but was flatly rejected by Xavi which made things more complicated for Dybala.
I think now he has to look for other alternatives or indeed take back his words and hope Juventus give him another contract after being rejected some time ago.
Dybala's future is still a big question after the rumored Dybala joining Inter finally failed. Since Inter have managed to get Lukaku from Chelsea,
now there are still some big clubs waiting for an answer from Dybala. Like Real Madrid, AC Milan and AS Roma reportedly want Dybala. When in fact
Dybala wanted to move to Barcelona, but it looks like Xavi prefers Lewandowski over Dybala. So Dybala has to consider other teams that still want him.
But to rejoin Juventus seems impossible, because Dybala would be very embarrassed if he had to retract his words to part with Juventus.

Don;t forget that AC Milan did win the scudetto hehe, They didn;t just qualify for the champions league. I Think Giroud will be the back up striker, with Origi getting a good role as well. ibrahimovic will be a talisman, will get few minutes at crucial moments for the team

Franck Kessie is going to be released in one week. Zlatan Ibrahimovic's condition is still unknown while there is only one week left on his contract as well. Considering these things Milan's priorities are really a centre-forward and a midfielder. As for a defender, it would also be nice too to sign a strong defender. They need to increase their power not only offensively in the end. I wonder with whom they are going to fill Kessie's place. Kessie is a good midfielder and there are some big teams thinking of signing him.
Zlatan is probably staying, he may get a discount or something but at the end of the day he is going to stay. That has been the chatter at least, I can't guarantee anything in the world of football of course but it is going to be more like a Milan until retirement type of situation for him. They do need a midfielder, they are going to need that if they want to keep it going, but a pure striker that will score a lot is something they haven't had in a while. Between Zlatan and Giroud, they had good talent that is old, but they really need someone that would make it a lot better for them to both have without injuries and also young enough to not get tired.

Lukaku is going through a really bad form right now. He has not done anything worth mentioning in the English Premier League. I believe that he is just not made for the English Premier League. He has done well in other leagues. So, I think it will be better for him if he plays for any team except in the English Premier League. Dybala also could not show a good performance in the last season because he was injured a lot of times. I think a move for him is also going to do great for his career in the future.
This is something that is quite good now because indeed in the previous season when he was transferred from MU to Inter also in almost the same condition because indeed he was struggling at that time and even he said that his career at MU failed but when he was at Inter he found the touch is back and looks prime here.It would be a good thing if he did something like this now and I still have a lot of faith in Lukaku especially in Serie A.
Lukaku's performance which continues to decline is allegedly because he is half-hearted in Chelsea's uniform. Therefore, he is rumored to be doing anything to get out of Stamford Bridge. In addition, the intense tension of the game in the Premier League is also the reason it is difficult for him to develop.
Returning to Inter might make him excited again and Lukaku feels that he is very suited to the climate of Serie A. But Inter Milan brought him only on loan, they were reluctant to buy him back because the market price was still too high, Inter prioritized other players to be brought in, possibly Dybala .
Romelu Lukaku is really going to Inter on a loan deal as it seems. We are just waiting for it to be official now. It is said that he is going to earn 8 million euros there. Lukaku must be feeling good after this deal but I'm not sure about Chelsea. Because they signed him by paying an insane amount of money and they aren't able to sell him for a price around that much now. I'm not sure if Inter would like to make this deal permanent later on. His market value is €70m now and this can increase if he performs well there.

For next season, my best guess with the new transfers and Inter formation is 3-4-1-2
~snip~
I'm not sure about Lukaku, he's downhill a lot in the EPL. Maybe he hasn't been able to show the best game right away. Lukaku must restore fitness and possession of the ball. A few times I saw in chelsea he was weak. I think that's what makes Tuchel rarely give playing minutes for him. Maybe I'm more convinced of Martinez. I also tend to like 3-5-2, with two defensive midfielders one attacking midfielder, two wingers, two forwards one hole forward and a pure forward. ~snip~
I read a news about milan condition now, Milan is currently in serious trouble regarding the transfer of players. Rumors, RedBird will not provide enough money for Milan in the transfer market this summer. Of course this is a blow to Pioli and staff like Maldini. Because, Milan already have a plan to buy some players, but if Milan didn't get funds from RedBird, the plan could change and could not be executed as well.
When I heard that Milan would be acquired by Redbird, I thought that Milan would make a lot of great transfers this season, because as far as I know Redbird is a big company based in America and so far they have often invested in European football clubs, but after reading some news it turned out to be acquisition what was done by Redbird in Milan is currently not 100% complete, So Milan cannot got funds to spend on transfer market at this time, according to one Italian sports media, currently RedBird received a loan from Elliott to complete the takeover of the club and forced Redbird only can provide funds for buy player just of 50 million euro.

Lukaku has seen better moments in his football career. But he can be invisible the whole game, and then suddenly score 2 goals. He is and remains a very good player. Last season it was disappointing for Inter in some games, but Inter can have a lot of fun with him. When Lukaku is no longer in attack at Inter, it is not so easy to find a good striker in his place. He will always score decent goals. And probably his teammates did not deliver the passes good enough to Lukaku.

There are really some news on reliable sources showing that Inter are finishing the Romelu Lukaku loan deal. Inter are very lucky to have him back like this. If they signed him on a permanent deal, it would be a way profitable deal compared to the amount they sold him to Chelsea. Chelsea must be very regretful about paying insane amount of money to sign Lukaku. I think we would most probably see Lukaku going back to Inter permanently later on if he performs strongly.
Lukaku is a talented striker that has what it takes to attract victory at the end of the match that will make other teams to wish to have player like lukaku in their team. It will be a welcome development to inter team, if they can be able to get lukaku back to the team which will really help them to perform well in next season. I think, inter managements will increase lukaku salary compare to the amount he is receiving from Chelsea for he not to regret for coming back to inter again.Inter Milan growth depends on the manager, and how he relates with the squad, I see every player looking for a team with more game time so they can have a spot in them National squad ahead of the FIFA World Cup to be held November/ December.
Asides Lukaku, they have Dybala, Larturo Martinez who are good players, they also have a great vision for goal, it will be a long season, the Champions League will be a great one with new players representing then new club's.

The situation of this player really seems to be uncertain. I think this player could have been a great asset for Barcelona because Barcelona needs players like him. Instead of trying to get Robert Lewandowski for a high price they could have gotten Dybala and tried to make the best out of him. But at the same time, it is also true that he wouldn't have been at good player for the style of Barcelona.
Inter currently definitely don't want Dybala especially they already have Lukaku there although this still doesn't rule out the possibility that he will be partnered with Lukaku.For Barcelona I read some news which said that Xavi admitted that he did not need Dybala's services in his squad which made this difficult.
Even though it's a good option if you can't sign Lewandowski but until now it seems Xavi still wants Lewandowski at Barcelona and Dybala is still not sure what will happen next.
