Italian football have lost a bit of quality and there is need for massive reinforcement in order to restore the glory days of the Italian football when the likes of AC Milan was a power house in European football making three champions League final appearances in 6years

Not forgetting the trible winning Jose Mourinho's inter Milan in 2010 a team that eliminated the defending champions Barcelona that was on top of there game with the tiki taka style of play..

And Juventus winning the seria A consecutive and a force to reckon with appearing in two champions League final in 3years.. knocking out la decimal defending champions in 2015..

We miss those glory days when Italian football was on the map of Europe..they have the qualities to attract good players..

That happens because nowadays the other major leagues of Europe like England and Spain has much better quality leagues compared to the Serie A.Italians have their own mentality also called the "Catenaccio" which in origin is a term to play defensively like being closed in a cage or a circle and take advantage of counter attacks.This is an old philosophy well documented not to work good in today fast paced International competitions like the Champions League or Europa League where the new philosophy from England which plays open football and only attacks and Spain which want to have a great amount of ball possession works better compared to the Italian one.That is why for the glorious days we have to wait until also Italian clubs change their philosophy.

Dybala future seems very interesting to watched because as high class player with free transfer many teams want to use his service and indeed some of premier league teams interested to bought him and in Italy too there are several teams who want him even the latest rumour is Francesco Totti personally invited him joining Roma even he said if Dybala willing to move to AS Roma he will give number 10 to him but currently he is on vacation and will faced international match with Argentina and he will decide which team will he choose after that
I hope keep exist on Serie A next new team for Paulo Dybala, maybe Inter Milan can take this chance after Paulo Dybala as free transfer player and need to pay salary only without have to use money for player transfer. Paulo Dybala still have top level and keep potential for Inter Milan as winger or put him on second central forward, but need waiting with Inter Milan financial want to pay higher salary for Paulo Dybala or give chance to other team get him and moving to Primer league with Tottenham Hotspur or Arsenal.

I understand that Dybala is a great player, it seems to me that he always has to play, it would be a waste if he couldn't do it, however apart from the Italian league I think that everything from the QATAR World Cup will come in November and in In this case, if there is not a good contract that retains the player, which has a lot of quality, it is likely that it could be better valued, because Argentina is a team that has a lot of visibility and most people in the world will be watching, not only For Dybaka, I think that Messi will be the biggest attraction because of what they can do, and of course Dybala will be there as the protagonist.

With Dybala already seven seasons with Juventus, I think moving to another team in Serie A will be very painful. Moreover his young age would be better for Dybala to try a new challenge, maybe it would be better to join the EPL I believe it would be better to maintain his relationship with Juventus. Competition in the EPL is becoming very difficult and I hope that one of the big EPL teams will succeed in signing Dybala, maybe Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal which of course will be good for the history of Dybala's career that does not only spend his career in Serie A.

If it's true, I hadn't seen him like that. It's not bad if Dybala went to PL football, the PL would be a great achievement for him, although of course at the moment the clubs are taking care of making new contracts, since we are just a few months away from him The World Cup begins, and in the World Cup you always see the emergence of new players and they become known due to their good performance, if this turns out like Dybala is in Argentina, both Argentina and Brazil are where the majority of most outstanding players, of course teams like Real Madrid when they like one for their economic power they can acquire them, like PSG and now another Club that is giving a lot to talk about is Newcastle, it's all a matter of that, it was to see how things develop.

Well this is something that I would not say is the quality that it lost, what happens is that the Italian teams have not had the opportunity to have so many stars in their leagues, for example a Halaand or Mbappé is needed to give it another twist, if there are some stars, but they let go of one of the monarchs who is CR7, which, if it moves marketing a lot, and currently everything is done by marketing.

Even Italy won Euro 2020 and Serie A has become more interesting in this season, it is untrue to say Serie A has gotten its position back in the Europe. AC Milan, Inter Milan has coming back. AS Roma is rebuilding with Mourinho. Juventus is on going rebuilding time too. So they all need time to get back to top level in the Europe. It can not be done in 1 or 2 seasons, much more.

Mourinho is keen on defensive and counter attacking tactics that are very common in Serie A. It is reasonable to see he got great success in Inter Milan and now is repeating it in Roma. The next season will be very interesting to see how Mourinho and Roma can climb to their higher highs.

Everything has beginning and ending. The era of Juventus domination in Serie A ended and now they are struggling to get it back. They can not achieve in near future because it is how life works naturally. Even Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United struggle too. Only Bayern in Bundesliga is an exception because they are too strong there. The competitiveness in Serie A is much more than in Bundesliga and with more competitors, there is less chance for Juventus to win Serie A when they are rebuilding their team.

Roma are going for Nemanja Matic now and they are very close to finishing this deal on a free transfer. He is 33 years old now and he had a chance to play regularly in this season too. Manchester United give him chances in more than 20 games in the Premier League. His age can be discussed of course but it is still not the worst for a defensive midfielder. He is a very experienced midfielder and he can contribute to Roma quite much. In addition to this transfer, I hope that Roma continue to bring better players this summer.

Napoli were a disappointing team to me as they were far behind the first two teams in the standings before entering final weeks of the season. They started the season very nicely and they even took the lead at some point too. But they had consistency problems which caused them to lose their chance for the championship earlier. This may still be a sign for next season. If they become more consistent they can fight for the championship until the end. After Milan and Inter I would like to see Napoli making it to the championship too.
Napoli failed to maintain the continuity of their performance. If I'm not mistaken, Napoli continued to fight for the title until the 20th week. But gradually they started losing their position. And at the end of the season, they are about 17 points behind AC Milan. If Napoli's goal is to win the title, then their performance must be consistent and stable. Otherwise, they will be third or fourth in the table next season.
Napoli lacked the depth and strength of the squad to qualify for the Scudetto this season. In general, I was very surprised by the start of the team and that the club stayed among the leaders for a long time and had chances to win the title almost until the end of the championship. In principle, if the club conducts spot reinforcements and retains the backbone of the squad, it may well claim high positions for next season, although I'm still not sure that it will be possible to repeat the mostly fantastic last season, when competitors are energetically strengthening. Here the hope of the Napoli fans should rest on the fact that Luciano Spalletti will draw the right conclusions and that the team will only become stronger.

Otherwise, they will be third or fourth in the table next season.

It's disappointing to see Napoli's decline in form near the end of the season, and that is what makes them eliminated from the competition to win
the Serie A trophy. But if we look at the quality of the players that Napoli have, they are still below AC Milan and Inter, it actually makes sense that
in the end Napoli loses the competition. Moreover, for next season I'm sure Napoli will find it increasingly difficult to win the Serie A trophy, if they
don't bring in some players to strengthen their squad. Because it is likely that not only AC Milan and Inter are strong competitors for Napoli.
However, Juventus which is currently quite active in the transfer market, will be a serious competitor for Napoli next season.

Therefore Napoli not only have to play more consistently next season, but Napoli must try to strengthen their squad. So far it is reported that Napoli
will soon get Gerard Deulofeu and that in my opinion is not enough to make Napoli able to compete next season. Napoli have to bring in some new
players, especially next season Napoli will play in the Champions League too, so Napoli really have to prepare everything well.

They are slowly getting off track and the longer the season goes on the further away it gets.
Even though from the start they played well and even continued to do Wistreak for 9 matches there.
They can't develop when other teams start to heat up so they can't help but be thrown out and there's no chance for them because the rest is Inter and Milan who dominate

I think Paul Pogba will focus more on his football when he finally rejoin Juventus. I think Pogba was spoilt at Manchester United because after Sir Alex Ferguson left the club was in disarray. Pogba has been difficult for the managers to deal with but that has not affected his delivery on the pitch. It's quite boring that there's no bidding war for him, Juventus are really excited for his return to the club.

As we expect from a talented player like Pogba, we didn't see a drop in it in the previous season. He should have performed more responsibly. Now he is back in the Juventus squad. He should be more focused on his own performance. At the same time be more diligent. Because he had a poor performance in the previous season. He will not be able to return to form unless he works hard this season

As for Pogba I still have my doubts but I don't rule out this could also happen because so far he's only been close to Juventus

Reportedly Pogba is very close to Juventus some local media reported this although Pogba has not officially confirmed it but observers believe he will go to Juventus

Pogba is officially a free transfer after his contract expires June 30, 2022, Manchester United had to let Pogba leave after there was no contract extension agreement. Pogba is rumored to be returning to Juventus, but the gossip threatened to end in failure, Because Liverpool are ready to tackle Juventus to get Pogba signature. Jurgen Klopp really wants Pogba to wear a Liverpool costume next season, Liverpool maneuvers are a threat to Juventus who have wanted Pogba services long ago.
Im sure it's gonna be a #POGBACK.

Juventus are no doubt a place where he belong , he get respected there and making him had a full confident to play 100% of his capacity.
He's been unhappy at manchester united since even his second year there .. he successfully hold that uncomfortable feelig till now.

 Rafael Leao carried AC Milan offensively in the just concluded season, he was the most important player of the team dropping top performance season long. Zlatan Ibrahimovic strong and winning mentality obviously rubbed off on the squad, that's why there's a big buzz about him on the media.
But if I'm not mistaken, right now there are some big clubs who want this young player. Milan need to anticipate further so that the young players they have are not hijacked by other clubs considering that they are currently still having trouble finding strikers after Zlatan and Giroud are too old.
Rafael Leao is a good option but indeed they have to anticipate other teams because there are some offers too which don't make sense for Leao

Pogba is a player who was Allegri's first choice before, so it's normal if Allegri wants him back, apart from needing players who have good goal-scoring instincts, Allegri has a tough task to face next season in order to win the title again. If he manages to bring Pogba back, along with several other new quality players, then Juventus can destroy the dominance of Milan and Inter in the last 2 seasons. But, I agree with Furious 7, bring in back ex player sometimes far from expectations, if Allegri can't manage this, so maybe Pogba can do much for the team.

The best thing for Allegri is to go out from Juventus. His time is finished and Juventus should also know it. They need absolutely a new manager. It's absolutely ridicolous and awful to see that Juventus, as a big team is, does

only 1 goal, max 2, in one match, with an attack formed by Dybala-Morata-Vlahovic, is absolutely ridicolous !

They need someone of special, like Zidane  Wink

I think the problem is not with the coach, Juventus was no longer doing well even when Cristiano Ronaldo was there and Allegri was not there, so what is failing? in my opinion what is missing is that juventus don't have good strikers, they need players like salah or mane, they are focusing only on pogba, but they are leaving behind the main question: look for good strikers... if they don't have good strikers then we will once again see the lack of goals, even if pogba manages to send the balls forward, up front the forwards will waste the opportunity to score goals

if managed to bring pogba to juventus then the juve midfield would be more perfect. Apart from that, there are rumors that Juventus also intends to buy Molina from Udine

juventus are really gathering their strength for next season because last season they didn't win the title at all

the question we have to ask ourselves is:

in the next season juventus wants to conquer what?

1 - Serie A?

2 - Champions League?

Or is it that they just want to fight for top spots in Serie A? because I still haven't seen big changes capable of convincing me that next season Juventus will be able to win Serie A and go far in the Champions League

Maybe looking for a replacement for ibrahimovic. The team needs to prepare talented players to back Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud up front. Marko Lazetic and junior I think the team need more than that to keep the position of milan next season, because I believe inter and juventus will make changes for next season, this will be a threat to milan, they have to maintain the team's performance and I think Milan need support up front.

It would be really good to see them strengthening their attacking line indeed. Actually their main striker has been Oliver Giroud so far. Zlatan Ibrahimovic played in 27 games in total too but he wasn't very effective on the final weeks of the season as much as he was at the beginning of it. Giroud had a quite good season actually as he made important contributions when the team needed him the most. However I still don't see any striker who scores so many goals in a season for them. Hence maybe they would like to bring a striker like that.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not played much this season due to injury, he has to undergo a medical process and rest for a long time. Regarding the contribution of Milan's goal machine this season, the former Lille striker who was recruited by Milan in the summer of 2019 Rafael Leao became Milan's top scorer this season. Leao contributed 12 goals and 9 assists for Milan, and his performance successfully brought Milan to win the Serie A.

Although Milan managed to finish in 1st position in Serie A, I have never seen Stefano Pioli's team enter the list of Serie A top goalscorers this season. Oliver Giroud may be there next season Cheesy
Yes it seems not so important for the club, but maybe important for a player's career development
Rafael Leao carried AC Milan offensively in the just concluded season, he was the most important player of the team dropping top performance season long. Zlatan Ibrahimovic strong and winning mentality obviously rubbed off on the squad, that's why there's a big buzz about him on the media.

According to report, Pogba will be leaving Manchester United as a free agent. He is probably known as a talented player. However, Juventus will be suitable for him. But, other team such as Chelsea, PSG and Liverpool also want to add Pogba to their squad. Juventus performance was impressive, they put in their great effort to ensure they secure a space in the Champion League next season. And basically need a stronger squad to compete with other tougher team which will encounter next season.
Although Pogba did not impress in the 2021/2022 season, he is the most important part of the Manchester United squad. Pogba must leave on a free transfer because Manchester United may no longer be interested in extending the player's contract, so this is an advantage for Pogba because he has the opportunity to return to Juventus, who will play in the Champions League next season.

Some Premier League teams may be interested in offering Pogba a contract, but in my opinion Pogba seems to be more suited to Juventus' style of play. Pogba is a ex Juventus player who has made a big contribution to them before moving to Manchester United. If Juventus really want to sign Pogba then we can be sure they will have better strength next season.

I can agree also that Jose Mourinho had a quite decent season with Roma. Maybe they finished the season in the Serie A at the sixth position but they had a very successful run in the Europa Conference League. They made it to the title in the end and I assume that this achievement is very valuable for them. Maybe it isn't like winning the Champions League but it is still one of the big tournaments in the end. I will be expecting Roma to continue with Mourinho next season as they should be believing in him now.

I think the problem is Roma is quite impatient and that is a big problem. They have to be patient for achieving the desired results. Jose Mourinho has done a good job otherwise the results could have been a lot worse for Roma. It obviously does not look like they have done a very good job in the league but I think they need some time and so does the coach. With a little more time and by spending a little more money, I think Jose Mourinho will be able to improve the performance of Roma.

I agree with you. Roma need to be patient as they are recovering slowly now. This season was a very ideal one for them as they became very successful in Europe. They need to continue to consolidate their squad too otherwise we might not be able to see the continuation of this success. They should show their potential to everyone by making themselves stronger and fighting hard in the Serie A too. Inter and Milan became the champions consecutively after a huge Juventus domination. Why wouldn't we see Roma doing the same too, right?

It seems like every team needs Zidane now. We talk about PSG, they need Zidane, we talk about Manchester United, they need Zidane and now Juventus also needs Zidane.  Cheesy

Anyway, I think Juventus did not have a good team last season and that was a big reason why they did not perform at their best. Obviously, they should have done better but we cannot just blame the coach if anything goes wrong with the team. I think the coach at least should be given this season to figure out the mistakes.

Seeing Pogba's performances at United I still feel that indeed his goal-scoring instinct has been lost in the previous few seasons and this is not really worth mentioning now.
Pogba is currently far from his previous capacity and his performance is far from expectations when he was at United. but maybe in this case they want to see again whether he can still play well or not considering his talent was honed by Allegri
