And the way Napoli is showing a lot of interest in bringing in luckaku is amazing since they are getting serious about the transfer, since antonio conte wants Lukaku in Napoli since the money is already available any moment from now Lukaku is going to be in Napoli. I think Lukaku already have a lot of failed opportunities in Chelsea Presently, I'm not really satisfied with what Lukaku been playing, so coming to Napoli now doesn't change anything as far as bringing in Lukaku, it Not As if is not a good player but I feel is time is already passing maybe because of his age they would have gone for a younger player, maybe they feel Lukaku will have more ball experience than other youngsters players. Buy Lukaku for 43 million is actually a lot of money, when they continue with negotiation maybe Chelsea might agree to the terms of Napoli.

in fact in my opinion it is madness to buy a player who has shown very little in recent years and above all is starting to be old enough to play football, also in my opinion with that price which I consider astronomical they could easily take a younger player who can do much better than him, in any case we will see in the next few days

I was also thinking the same because all these are just the plan of Antonio Conte because he just feels Lukaku is the right choice for him but basically looking at the overall performance of Romelu Lukaku, I don't see anything special about the player, if it was younger and more experienced players it would have been different but this is basically a player that don't even have the energy to play complete 90 minutes without him beginning to flop in the pitch, don't even know what Antonio Conte sees in him that Napoli will have to spend so much for his signing it's really becoming annoying. He has been in the news for some time now and up till now his contract with Napoli has not yet been finalized. They rather opt for a better and more talented player than making Lukaku look expensive when he basically can't perform very well in the pitch of play.

looking at some daily news on football I would like to bring to your attention the lukalu-napoli topic, it seems that these are decisive times for the purchase of the player that napoli and antonio conte are really interested in taking regardless of the transfer of Osimhen , twenty-five million plus five bonuses to Chelsea for Lukaku, but Chelsea wants 43 million and a permanent transfer won't be easy!

Napoli are trying to be smart in this transfer and Chelsea are not ready to condone that smartness because it’ll be at their own great loss after this season. Lukaku is not a young player anymore and any team that signs him will just get to use him for few seasons and then dump him again. Maybe Napoli will only utilize him for just a season or one more and they’re done with him, so they don’t want to pay a high fee for an aged player like him. Chelsea is also avoiding not selling him now and giving him out on loan and lose the potential chance of selling him high now. So both clubs wants to favor their interest and that’s making it very hard for a deciding to be made so far in this deal.

I still feel that making an exchange between Lukaku and Osimhen is the best way because after all, Conte also really wants to bring in Lukaku but Napoli are also not ready to buy an old player at a high price. However, if we consider that Chelsea still needs forward players, then of course bringing in Osimhen by exchanging him for Lukaku would be a good choice.

Because after all, Chelsea is also basically focused on maximizing young players and as such, it would be good if Chelsea brought in Osimhen. But indeed, what doesn't make sense is that Chelsea really wants to get benefits from Lukaku, so this means that this transaction never gets an agreement.

That is just the problem Chelsea have that is not making the deal to be sealed because they want to make profit from Lukaku which should not be so. Though, I will not blame them for such idea because Napoli is also making a huge profit fom Osimhen.

It is better that whatever these two clubs have should be concluded because a new season is kicking off tomorrow so that these two clubs can have the players to start playing for the clubs ASAP for balance and focus on the title race.

I saw the latest news about Lukaku has agreed to a deal with Napoli and Conte regarding a pay cut if he joins Napoli, this may be because Napoli still has Oshimen who has the highest salary at the club and he has not been sold so to avoid spending too much they were forced to do that, but Napoli is only willing to pay 25 million with an additional 5 million while Chelsea wants more than that, actually there are other clubs willing to pay the transfer fee set by Chelsea but Lukaku does not want to join any club except Napoli so regarding this transfer it seems quite complicated the respective clubs have not reached an agreement regarding the negotiations between them.

All clubs and agents involved in this deal will have to come to an agreement soon because if they continue to go back and fronts without any resolutions, the deal will collapse and both clubs will be left with players they don't want. Lukaku agreeing to a pay cut is a good move because it shows the club that he's willing to do anything to come play for them but Osimhen is refusing to reduce his own pay cut and that could also be the reason Chelsea aren't putting pressure on the deal. Swapping two players for Lukaku is too much but if Chelsea are willing to do that to let the deal go through, it is also good because Osimhen is good striker and Chelsea need a good striker. Napoli already wants to sell Victor Osimhen hence Lukaku taking a pay cut isn't about the fact the Napoli has a player on a high salary at the club but it is because he wants to play in Europe and Napoli are the ones interested in him.

I agree with you. Juventus performed poorly in the preseason tour. But as you said the new coach will need time to adapt. I won't even be harsh on him for one season because it's not easy to adapt to a team. But at least Thiago Motta didn't really disappoint the fans by getting a bad rating at the end of the season. Their first match is against COMO, a promoted club who is said to have made a lot of good signings in the transfer window this season. We can see how Motta's tactics will play in the first match. I expect a good performance from Juventus because I don't think anyone would have predicted COMO to win that match.

You get a point here, we cannot blame Motta for the results of the pre-season games because he is new to the area and it is difficult to adapt to a new team. But the reason I believe we should hold him responsible for their poor performance in the pre-season games is that this is not his first time managing a team in the Seria A, his previous club was in the Seria A, and he managed Bologna last season, finishing in fifth place, so I do not expect him to struggle to adapt to Juventus because they play in the same league. However, nobody would like to predict that Como will win their next game since they just got promoted to Seria A. Juventus has @1.36 odds on the betting site, while Como has @9.59 odds, showing that Juventus will win their first game of the season.

Inter Milan is still the favorite this season to win the Scudetto,

I don't think Inter Milan will be my favorite team to win the Scudetto next season based on their pre-season performance, however, at this point, I believe AC Milan is a strong team to win the championship next season due to their pre-season performance, as they defeated Manchester City, Real Madrid, and even Barcelona in the penalty shootout.

Pre-seas matches do not and will never determine a club performance on how they will play in the coming season in my opinion. actually in the case of inter Millan being the favorite of winning the Scudetto in the upcoming season for me they are not the one neither AC Milan even though they won most of their pre-season matches winning Madrid, Manchester City, and Barcelona doesn't matter so for me AC Milan are not the favorite of winning the 2024/2025 Italian season Serie A. for me the favorite of winning this year Scudetto is Napoli because they have more potentials and confidence in them than any other club this coming season.

A whole lot has been said bout the move for both Victor Oshime and Romelu Lukaku. It's already taking too long now and they're yet to come to a conclusion. I don't know what development has come out from the recent negotiations made between the both clubs and players but this is what I have read and this is exactly how Antonio Conte and the management of Napoli wants to make this deal done completely. We will definitely see if the swap deal will sure happen.

Former player for Chelsea Billy Glimor has also been linked with a move to Napoli. It could be a done deal and announcement by the club happening soon.

Meanwhile, Paula Dybala who recently said he won't be leaving As Roma has come to agreement with one of tuese Saudi Arabian Premier League Clubs. It's a good one for As Roma so they can get players who are young and ready to fight for the club.

I also want to see how AS Roma starts this season with De Rossi still being coached, because the level of change that De Rossi has made while coaching AS Roma has also been quite clear and that can at least be a good hope again for AS Roma fans in the season that will start again soon. I also have no doubts about De Rossi's abilities and also want to see how AS Roma can rank in the top four in the season that will start this month because Roma is a big team that must provide fierce competition to its rivals in Serie A.

De Rossi can really be expected to bring Roma to a better ranking in Serie A. But my hope is that Roma can also win the European League title this season. Because it will prove that De Rossi has succeeded in bringing Roma to a higher level. Because in the last two seasons Roma have always failed in the European League. In the Mourinho Era, Roma was only able to reach the final round and failed. And last season, Roma wasn't even able to reach the final round at all. And if this season Roma doesn't make it to the final in the Europa League then De Rossi will only get criticism from people.

Currently Roma has given full freedom and support to De Rossi to maximize their squad, so automatically if De Rossi has a very big burden to bring Roma to at least win the domestic title next season, Roma has recruited 6 new players who can be said if their the best players in the previous club so there is no reason for De Rossi to complain about the quality of the players he currently has, because when compared with the Mourinho era squad it is clear that the squad that De Rossi will have next season is much better, what will De Rossi achieve next season of course it will continue to be compared with the achievements achieved by Mourinho previously, although Morinho may be considered a failure at Roma, but at least with the squad he have, he was able to bring Roma to the European League final and we also cannot forget that winning the conference league trophy was the result of Mourinho hard work at Roma, So to be considered better than Mourinho, of course De Rossi must be able to get a better trophy than Morinho got previously.

Chelsea will not be that easy to agree to the price offered by Napoli, they will still insist on their wishes. Maybe they will lower the price a little and that is not too far, so clearly this is a difficult thing for Napoli. On the other hand, Napoli also does not want to agree to Chelsea's wishes, because they themselves certainly do not want to dig deeper into their pockets. Usually when a player transfer and both teams insist on their wishes, then it will never happen. Unless Napoli wants to make a new offer and it is not far from the price set by Chelsea. Now it depends on them and how they can lobby Chelsea to reach an agreement.

The trick won't solve anything here, Chelsea value Lukaku at €40m, and Osimhen has a €130m buyout clause in his contract, so even taking into account the exchange of Lukaku for Osimhen, a very significant surcharge will have to be made, so I think nothing will come of this venture. There are rumors that a Napoli representative is now in London and may negotiate with Chelsea about this exchange, I think that if we don't see news in the near future, that the teams have agreed on this exchange, we can consider this transfer to have failed.

From what De Rossi has shown since he coached Roma since Jose Mourinho left I think there is nothing to doubt, De Rossi has exceeded many people's expectations but regarding the future will be better or not that no one knows we just have to wait for next season when De Rossi builds this team according to his wishes.

I saw some of Roma's transfers and I think it's good enough so that they will most likely be better next season, I'm quite optimistic about that.

De Rossi was indeed able to make Roma improve rapidly last season. And well it exceeded everyone's expectations. But last season De Rossi only continued the squad that had been formed by Jose Mourinho. Meanwhile, the real challenge looks like it will start when this season starts. The Roma squad this time was actually formed by De Rossi. Even though many of the players are still the same, several additions have been made in the transfer market. And I think it is indeed a very good player transfer. Moreover, I like their new striker who was Laliga's top scorer last season at the Girona club. I don't know what De Rossi said to the player, but I applaud De Rossi for succeeding in convincing the player to move to Roma.

Many big teams were waiting at the door to sign Artem Dovbyk. Roma took him away from other teams. He had a very good La Liga season last year. He became the top scorer in La Liga with Girona. While I thought he would be taken by a big Spanish team, Roma added him to their squad in a great way and quickly. I am sure he will perform similarly in Serie A. Roma has not had a big problem with forwards in recent years. It seems they will not have much trouble this year either.

Roma activities in the transfer market are proof that the management really supports De Rossi, the money they spent in the transfer market has succeeded in attracting several top players. Roma future is increasingly clear, now under De Rossi guidance Roma performance is increasing. Trophies are their goal this season, De Rossi must be able to make Roma walk on a positive path to win the title. The competition in the Europa League is not like in the domestic league, Roma must perform optimally if they want to win the second caste trophy in Europe.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am totally amazed by Milan's performances, I never expected this kind of performance.
I have to say that Fonseca is working well and I didn't expect these results, even if they are only friendly.
Well done, I'm happy for the Milan fans and not only that, we won't see a one-sided championship.

It's still a pre season games, and the first real test for Ac Milan has not yet come. I think the better if you're lowering your expectations to them. Im not saying Ac Milan was bad, but nothing to take from the Pre-season when they were against kids from the different clubs,

Fonsesca is still quite new in Ac Milan, and his real test is gonna start once Serie A will be starting soon.

I said this too, I said the performances are good and I didn't expect it. But I also said that they are friendly matches and that we will therefore see the real test during the championship.

Obviously we cannot rely on these matches to understand how the team will fare in the championship. They are batches of experiments.

I can't say no, because their performance is good in this pre-season match, but I agree that we have to lower our expectations of them. Pre-season matches are unpredictable matches, I mean sometimes they are good in pre-season but not in the competition, and there are also the opposite, they are bad in pre-season but they are good in the competition.
Now it is AC Milan's job to answer all of that, they have to answer that their performance in pre-season is a true picture of their performance in the competition. And the answer we will only get when Serie A starts. We have to be patient first to see their performance in Serie A or other official competitions.

AC Milan have been successful in all the matches they have played in the beginning of the season. In the warm-up matches AC Milan did not play against easy opponents but they played against tough opponents and they won. Although the strength of a team is not really known in the preliminaries, AC Milan's attacking style of play gives some idea that they will surely compete with Inter Milan next season. The teams of the Italian league are not very strong, that's why the competition with AC Milan and Inter Milan is high every season and one of these two teams becomes the champion.

Last season Inter Milan were champions and AC Milan were runners up but there was a lot of difference between champions and runners up. Inter Milan won by a lot of points, on the contrary, Milan had less points despite being the runners-up. However, I think AC Milan will improve their performance significantly in the next season and they will have a tough competition with Inter Milan.

No doubt, AC Milan's started well. Victory over City? Impressive. But those Real and Barca losses? They showed flaws. Preseason has limits. Despite his good record, Fonseca faces a tough challenge. It will take time to assemble Milan's team.

Under Inzaghi, Inter is stable. That constancy Milan wants is there. Milan has some interesting new players, but its about how they fit in. Look, I want Milan to succeed. Great club with a deep history. But this season's gonna be more about building and finding their footing. Inter is stable and experienced. Potential doesnt win championships for Milan. It requires effort, devotion, and luck.

I don't think Inter Milan will be my favorite team to win the Scudetto next season based on their pre-season performance, however, at this point, I believe AC Milan is a strong team to win the championship next season due to their pre-season performance, as they defeated Manchester City, Real Madrid, and even Barcelona in the penalty shootout.

Well, if we judge a club only based on their performance in pre-season then it is clear that AC Milan could be the favorite for this season in Serie A. It's just that we know that pre-season is just pre-season. Where all the clubs did not play seriously in that match. Player rotation, strategy testing and other observations are the goals of pre-season matches. So sometimes we can't expect what is shown in the pre-season to remain the same in the actual season. Because some strong teams like Man City even lost in pre-season but I'm sure almost everyone here will agree that Man City will not lose in the actual match.

My favorites for Serie A this season are still in flux. But I'll probably make a judgment after a few weeks have passed.

I never give so much importance to the preseason summer preparation, and it is true that Inter did not play very well in the summer games but it must be said that they never employed the official lineup, Milan played against great teams but none of them employed the starters. These are results that can lead to misjudgment. To date for me Remains Inter as the favorite to win the Scudetto, in second place I put Atalanta who last they made great performances

But the reason I believe we should hold him responsible for their poor performance in the pre-season games is that this is not his first time managing a team in the Seria A, his previous club was in the Seria A, and he managed Bologna last season, finishing in fifth place, so I do not expect him to struggle to adapt to Juventus because they play in the same league. However, nobody would like to predict that Como will win their next game since they just got promoted to Seria A. Juventus has @1.36 odds on the betting site, while Como has @9.59 odds, showing that Juventus will win their first game of the season.

Inter Milan is still the favorite this season to win the Scudetto,

I don't think Inter Milan will be my favorite team to win the Scudetto next season based on their pre-season performance, however, at this point, I believe AC Milan is a strong team to win the championship next season due to their pre-season performance, as they defeated Manchester City, Real Madrid, and even Barcelona in the penalty shootout.

Juventus took too long to make this decision and it actually had quite a bad impact on Wojciech Szczęsny's career. Initially he was linked to Al-Nassr and would be Ronaldo's teammate but there Al-Nassr has got a new young goalkeeper so this will not have an effect. Now Wojciech Szczęsny is rumored to another Serie A team and I think if there is no other choice then Monza could be his next destination.

Talking about retirement, I think it's too soon for him because his performance is not that bad at his old age and to strengthen a mediocre team it can still be justified. The most important thing is how the deal goes well. Three players for Juventus in 15 I think it's a very short time, I think Juventus will have a hard time and maybe Thiago Motta will take whoever he wants.

Wojciech Szczęsny and Juventus have reached mutual contract and right now become free agent players, actually he has one year later contract left with Juventus but after signing new goal keeper make Wojciech Szczęsny loss his position and the management reach mutual contract for him.
After playing seven season with Juventus and winning three trophies, finally the era of Wojciech Szczęsny over and right now he tries to get new club keep stay with European teams or accepting offer from Saudi Pro League teams are interested for signing him.

Talking about retirement, I think too early for Wojciech Szczęsny because still on the top performance and he has potential for playing with top European team behind his age still 34 years old. Juventus make huge rotation under Thiago Motta era and he was sacked many important players for Juventus last season not only with Wojciech Szczęsny but also Federico Chiesa not including in his tactician for next season.

I also want to see how AS Roma starts this season with De Rossi still being coached, because the level of change that De Rossi has made while coaching AS Roma has also been quite clear and that can at least be a good hope again for AS Roma fans in the season that will start again soon. I also have no doubts about De Rossi's abilities and also want to see how AS Roma can rank in the top four in the season that will start this month because Roma is a big team that must provide fierce competition to its rivals in Serie A.

De Rossi can really be expected to bring Roma to a better ranking in Serie A. But my hope is that Roma can also win the European League title this season. Because it will prove that De Rossi has succeeded in bringing Roma to a higher level. Because in the last two seasons Roma have always failed in the European League. In the Mourinho Era, Roma was only able to reach the final round and failed. And last season, Roma wasn't even able to reach the final round at all. And if this season Roma doesn't make it to the final in the Europa League then De Rossi will only get criticism from people.
