It is said that Lukaku might leave and go to Chelsea this summer. But I don't think so. He played there before and wasn't good enough. He played at different clubs after it. But he never was as awesome as he is at Inter. He was like he was reborn there. As he is having his best performance at Inter, I hope that he doesn't leave. It wouldn't be a wise choice I suppose.
Inter placed £102.5m on Lukaku, which I think is high. Lukaku left England in 2019, and Chelsea now have see on him. He is an important player in inter, he scored 24 goals last season in Serie A, and 4 in Champion League. However, it will be great, if he get transfers to Chelsea. But, I don't think Chelsea will pay that amount. They also have see on other top players.

Yes that is what I am saying. I don't see a realistic scenario where it makes a whole lot of sense to let Giroud and Zlatan play at the same time. Both are pure center players with similar abilities while Zlatan is a more dangerous striker and Giroud a hard-working team player. Although I would say that Zlatan is also quite the team player. He is just a quicker finisher and doesn't look three or four times to find a player to pass the ball to.

The pairing of Giroud and Ibra will be great unless they are injured. They are old but their fitness is still much better. But at this age, players are more likely to get injured due to minor injuries. If Ibra and Giroud don't have injuries, Milan will be fighting hard for the title this season.

No, as was said before maybe when you are under high pressure and need to score a goal you want them both on the pitch, but from a strategic standpoint letting both start doesn't sound very smart. I mean everyone has their own taste on how to play soccer, but Ibra and Giroud are too similar. You would rather have one of them and an additional dynamic winger who is strong in 1 vs 1, who could then serve the offender.

Haaland will have to adapt to Premier League but I don't think he will need to much time for his adaption.

Many people also said the same thing when Timo Werner's transfer from RB Leipzig to Chelsea took place, but in fact Timo Werner took quite a long time to adapt, it seems that until now he has not fully adapted (IMO) Cheesy

Hopefully, if Haaland goes to Chelsea, his career won't immediately fade Wink

It seems like Chelsea will go for Romelu Lukaku if they fail on signing Erling Haaland this summer. Inter are demanding at least £102.5m to let him go. Romelu Lukaku also would be a really good striker transfer. He got 24 goals and 10 assists in 36 Serie A games in the last season. Yeah, he is much older than Haaland of course but he is more experienced also.
Lukaku played for Chelsea when he was under 20 with the transfer from Anderlecht. After the failure in Chelsea, he played for West Brom and had a few good seasons there. Manchester United bought him but he failed in Old Trafford.

The transfer from Manchester United to Inter Milan revives his career with two impressive seasons in Serie A and one Scudetto. Lukaku is still young and has experience in Premier League. Haaland will have to adapt to Premier League but I don't think he will need to much time for his adaption.
I don't know whether Inter Milan will let him go or not even though with the amount of transfers Romelo Lukaku's brilliance at Inter Milan has made him shine again and this has become the most comfortable team for Lukaku.

If Chelsea re-sign him I'm afraid he failed again in the past at Manchester city he failed to do nothing for his team maybe even tougher than the game he faced in the EPL.

Werner is still lacking for the Chelsea striker while Haaland hopes for but I don't think it will be the same fate as Werner.

Anyway for the price According to reliable sources Juventus already refused 80m for him from Bayern.

What! Shocked , Based on a reliable source (transfermarkt.com) the price of Federico Chiesa is around 70M Euros, why did Juventus refused? Where did you got the news from? I Didn't see any discussion about Chiesa and Bayern on Google Huh

At an age that is no longer young then it's true, they will be better just as finishers. If Giroud continues to play as usual with a wider range of movement I'm just worried Giroud will fall injured like Mandzukic, it's a big mistake I think. Because these players are still needed for teams in Serie A but still, at their age they should only be finishers or at least have reduced space to maintain good performance in matches.

Ibrahimovic and Giroud are both great players. They are talented as well as experienced. So we have a lot of expectations from this pair. We also enjoyed the remarkable performance of AC Milan in the previous season. Had their players not been injured, they might have won the title the previous season. The AC Milan team looks stable enough this season as well.

Everyone is talking about Giroud - Ibra duo would be really awesome but I'm not so sure about it. First of all, I wonder whether Milan will have two forwards in their tactic. I assume that they will play with one and have one of these players in the subs. And it's not hard to predict who is going to be in the subs, it's Giroud of course. But he can help his team really well sometimes when he gets the chance. Think about it like he did it in critical games. This could be really crucial for them.

But would you let Giroud and Zlatan both play at the same time? If yes, how then? Zlatan has shown that he is still an excellent scorer. I must admit he surprised me as on average he scored more than a goal per game for a lot of games in the beginning. Then he got injured. Otherwise he might have competed for the best scorer of the year title.
There are times they will play together, when AC Milan need to score goals, equalizers or winning goals. Zlatan is one of greatest strikers in history and his fitness is amazing at his age now. If Ibra did not get injury in Manchester United, I think he would have been able to play better. Anyway, people thought he should end his career after that injury but finally he came back to the Europe, Serie A and made all of us surprised.

Will possibility both Giroud and Zltan pay at the same time? they have the same character as forward and become one men target position and looks they can't play at the same time. I think AC Milan will play with one forward as target and support by winger but depend on how situation and score when match begin, nice to see with Giroud and Zlatan playing together at the same time how awesome goal make by them.
As wrote above, possibly but not too often. They might overlap in positions if they begin together so I believe that they will only play together if AC Milan are very hurry to score goals.

They are not forwards, but are strikers. Giroud is more likely as forwards but Zlatan is a classic striker. In the two seasons he played for AC Milan, his main position is a striker but at some moments, he contributed to the club tactic as a forward.

I am not sure that Giroud would be an improvement to the squad. You say he can play very fast but actually he seems to be a rather slow offensive player who is relatively good in the box. Ibra and Giroud are very similar in a sense. I don't see how they would complement each other significantly.
Giroud is not a fast player but he contributes to team tactics from Arsenal, Chelsea to France. France won World Cup 2018 with Giroud is their main striker in the squad but Giroud played all matches for France in that World Cup and no single goal for him. Deschamps knows how to use Giroud to attract defenders and to help other players like Mbappe to have more space to use his speed.

I don't see similar style from Giroud and Zlatan and Giroud contributes more to the team tactics.

I like Giroud but looking on his playing kind almost the same with Zlatan ibrahimovic and impossible AC Milan will play both player together because they are an target men, I think both player will play each other and give few minute depend how possible to make goal and who will play more minutes between Giroud and Zlatan,
Perhaps they consider Giroud as substitution for Zlatan. I see it is reasonable because Zlatan will be in fourty and it is not right to require him to play all matches in a long season. Especially AC Milan will return to Champions League. Zlatan might be used more in Champions League and Giroud might be used more in Serie A.

But would you let Giroud and Zlatan both play at the same time? If yes, how then? Zlatan has shown that he is still an excellent scorer. I must admit he surprised me as on average he scored more than a goal per game for a lot of games in the beginning. Then he got injured.

Giroud is 34 years old and is not a young player by football standards. I do not understand why Milan is recruiting such age players to its team, this is a decision for a maximum of 1 or 2 seasons, and then again it will be necessary to look for young players who will form the main team and this period of teams will still need to go through.
Come on! Isn't it obvious? That guy is 34 years old but still has a certain level of talent and he was only 1 million euro if I am not wrong. Tell me who in the world could you get for one million dollars that will be better than giroud? Like I said he is not there to play every game, he is there to play whenever he feels like he can play, and some other person can't. Ibrahimovic is the same way, he can't play every game but whenever he can play he will be decent for sure.
These are old players but they are not bad players, they are still very talented and to think "why did they buy them" is simply not realizing Milan is not spending any money on these players, they are nearly free and that matters a lot, dude is basically free player that they can take advantage of in few games, even if only cup games that is still quite cheap to consider it a burden.
Young players are often unstable and there are often downturns in their game, and an experienced player may not show impressive progress, but will show a certain level of play that is expected of him. Moreover, no one interferes with alternating young and experienced players to achieve results. Especially if these experienced players do not cost the club excessive amounts. You can talk as much as you like about the prospects of the club with young players, but I don't think that the club management and fans are willing to wait for this bright idea without certain guarantees for the result. Moreover, the fans of Milan have already been waiting for titles from their favorite club for the past not so successful years.

I completely forgot that Federico Chiesa was on loan at Juventus from Fiorentina.  Grin  This player is playing so great that I've already started to establish a strong connection between him and Juventus. When he first came here, his market value was €48m. But now, we see that it's increased to €70m. This guy is developing really fast. And I liked him really much in the Euro 2020 also. Juventus should absolutely buy him. He has one more year on his loan contract.

my dream is see Federico Chiesa in Atalanta
but is hard i think, because Chiesa play good Euro2020 and now his price is very high (in my humble opinion, of course)
but i love dream Cheesy

is very strong player

Yes, You're Right, The last data I saw from the transfermarkt site the price of chiesa was around 70 million Euros (Updated 15 July 2021). It would be very difficult for Atalanta to buy this player, especially in a situation where many clubs are in financial crisis.

Source: https://www.transfermarkt.com/federico-chiesa/profil/spieler/341092


Atalanta's owner is quite rich so your dream could also become true. The only thing is that Juventus made it very clear that there not going to sell him; on the other hand I am sure that if the right offer will arrive they will sell the guy. Juve needs cash, lots of cash and seeing the club financials I expect many big moves before September. Wink

I think that the most surprising team of the last season were Atalanta. Honestly, I didn't expect this good performance from them at the beginning of the season. Despite not having one of the best squads, their game plan helped them a great deal to end in top 3. And I'd like to add that they were the most scorer team of the season (90 goals). Maybe they won't have a similar season in the near future again but it was really great to watch them playing great.
