The major overhaul carried out by Juve does not mean they are wasting money, the sole aim is changes in the squad and tactics implemented by the new coach, the current squad is much better with several new players brought in by Thiago Motta, of course Juve  They have big ambitions, not only in the domestic league, but appearing in the Champions League is also their target, even though next season they will play in the Champions League, of course the target they will achieve is winning the UCL, although it is not easy to miss all that, but the confidence of Thiago Motta and Management is worthy  appreciated and provided support.

If we talk about Osimhen's personal desires, he really wants to leave Napoli. The reason is that after this season finished, from the news I read, Osimhen felt that he was no longer suitable to be at Napoli. The reason is, Osimhen had problems with Napoli due to video content uploaded by Napoli which seemed to mock Osimhen. From there, Osimhen's feeling of not feeling at home at Napoli began to grow, even after that Osimhen's performance didn't look too good. So it is clear, Osimhen's desire in the transfer market this season is to leave Napoli. However, Napoli set the price too high, making it difficult for Osimhen to move to another club.

Apart from that, what you said is true, bro, Osimhen should have moved in the transfer market last season. The reason is that last season, Osimhen's condition was very good in every way. The reason is that last season Osimhen succeeded in bringing Napoli to the Scudetto. So if, for example, last season Osimhen left Napoli, I think many teams would immediately recruit Osimhen without the slightest hesitation. Because at that time Osimhen's name was really on the rise. So even though Napoli set a high price, I'm sure the big European clubs who are interested in buying Osimhen will not hesitate. Because they had seen for themselves that Osimhen's performance was very good at that time.

In contrast to now, Osimhen's performance has really declined this season. Napoli also only finished in 10th place in Serie A. So it is certain that even looking at this, the clubs that were interested in bringing in Osimhen will definitely think twice. And for now, Osimhen really has to fight harder (whether at Napoli or at another club), so that his name can be even better.

I agree with you. Osimhen is a good player but I think selling him is the best option for now because if Napoli keep Osimhen there is a possibility that his price will decrease again. I think Osimhen's performance has been inconsistent and that makes him worth selling. Napoli can get a lot of money from the sale of Osimhen. They can still sell him for 100 million euros and that will allow them to get several useful players to strengthen Napoli on various fronts.

But seeing from the statement given by Chelsea, Lukaku for next season will not be loaned out to any club interested in Lukaku next season including Napoli.


So by looking at this we should definitely understand that the only way for Lukaku to leave and if interested clubs including Napoli want Lukaku, then at least just prepare the clause that Chelsea wants at this time.
Chelsea are still not budging on 38 million for the sale of Lukaku and Napoli must prepare for that because if they force the will for a loan then indeed this will be very difficult to happen.
Chelsea do not want to lose too much because the previous purchase for Lukaku was very expensive and if Chelsea loaned at least 1 more season to another club then the value of Lukaku could be reduced.

I agree that Serie A is highly competitive league but I believe Antonio Conte arrival at Napoli could be game changer. Conte proven track record and exceptional coaching skills make him asset to team. While Napoli has struggled in recent seasons Conte leadership could bring necessary changes to revitalize team performance. However it is  important for team to adapt to Conte tactics and for him to make smart strategic decisions to bring out the best in players. If everything falls into place I am little sure that Napoli will regain their footing and become formidable force in Serie A once again.

Competition in Serie A is not easy and still tends to be difficult because there are many strong teams there, but Antonio Conte, who will coach Napoli, certainly cannot be underestimated with the abilities he has. Because it is possible that Antonio Conte will be able to bring more good changes to Napoli next season, although I personally am sometimes still not sure about that because Napoli has been a team that has been in decline for the last two seasons. So there needs to be more optimal changes in order to regain his performance next season through his new coach Antonio Conte.

For so long the negotiations regarding Osimhen and Lukaku for a swap deal from Napoli and Chelsea have not yet come to a clear point. And this time, Napoli also still has to get several new players to strengthen the team. And they have just successfully signed Real Madrid defender Rafa Marin. He has arrived in Napoli and is preparing to take part in training there after several things have to be done.

Napoli signs Rafa Marin by spending €12 million. Napoli has a chance to sign him permanently in 2026 if Napoli wants to spend €25 million. Rafa Marin is a young player, he is still 22 years old. He can be a good asset for Napoli if Napoli wants to sign him permanently. However, I think Rafa Marin won't be the main player in Napoli for the next season because there are many players in the same position who have more experience.

As far as I know Chelsea only wants to sell him, there is no option for a loan. Lukaku is getting old, it becomes more difficult to sell him. I think Napoli won't have a problem to spend some money for Lukaku. Chelsea only sets his price at £37m, it is not very big amount of money. If Napoli scout could negotiate the price, it may drop to £30m. I am pretty sure Lukaku will move to Napoli if Conte is serious to sign him.

To be honest, I'm not too sure about Juventus, they haven't made any changes, including bringing in new players. Juventus is still in the same problem as last season financial constraints so there's nothing they can do, what can we expect when Juventus next season plays with the same squad? instead of competing with Inter Milan even to stay in the top 4 is a good achievement. Serie A has been less interesting in recent seasons we don't see fierce competition there and only dominated by 1-3 teams.

I wouldn't want to associate Napoli's suffering or in ability to get good performance to the exit of this former coach Luciano spalleti, I know and agree he was a great coach but Napoli isn't and wasn't left in a bad hand either, so I don't see the need to get their failure associated with their coach, mostly it was a collective team problem and they didn't get it resolved in time before it got to affect their collection performance for the season which later got the team loosing out in most of their game that they were expected to probably win last season and possibly defend the trophy as the defending champions they were seen to be but sadly they couldn't make it.

That's something I like a lot, Juve need a lot of fuel right now to face the challenges that are coming, after having gone through such stormy moments, because even their qualification was so hard, so suffered and now that they are at the top they can't arrive and decline, they have to have everything well reinforced, for me it is a team that deserves the best but for that they have to work to be the best, they have to surpass an Inter that is very well formed, and that is the level although they are already in the UCL and that is enough for them to be able to aspire to reach the top, that is the idea.

Last season Napoli scored 55 goals in 38 games, see that Victor Osimhen played 25 games and scored 15 goals last season, any good coach who would go to Napoli would tell the management not to sell Victor Osimhen if they want to win the title next season, because he is an excellent striker and it wouldn't make any sense to sell him to sign another striker who would still have to get used to the team and wouldn't give a guarantee that he could score many goals, another point is that in the world In business, it is always important to buy a cheap product and sell a product at a very high price.

In the case of Victor Osimhen, Napoli's direction to focus on keeping him and if they win Serie A again and go far in the European Champions League after next season while Victor Osimhen did very well, then the market value Victor Osimhen would be very tall and big teams would want to sign him, with that the Napoli management would gain a lot and Victor Osimhen too. They can't sell him while Napoli isn't doing well, because they would sell him for a low price and the team would fall

Seria A is tough and the coaches coming in will always make useful steps for their accomplishment. Napoli new coach Antonio Conte, we're quite aware about the confident person incharge and expects the changes he will implement to the club. Napoli have suffered long enough since the departure of Luciano Spalleti, a top coach that won them the scudetto and since his absence, they've completely struggled to win games.

Antonio Conte is a masterpiece of a manager. He managed top clubs in all different top leagues and made his mark very clear. He never settles for less, goes all out in tactics, and makes players extremely motivated out of each session.
He also is very charismatic in the press, knows how to handle pressure, and answers difficult questions.

What he will do in Napoli would be a fun and interesting watch. Because the team did not do their best last season, and with a few tweaks, they can get back to the top. Since it’s clear that Osimhen does not really want to stay, I think Conte will look for proper replacements and will find a good striker for Napoli.

I thought as much too; keeping Osimhen will be the mistake Napoli will do again this transfer summer because his value will drop in the market if they keep him he end up not performing well in the coming season. For financial reasons, they should kindly sell Osimhen and use the money to sign more players that can help the team since there are teams that want Osimhen.

If they can get Lukaku on loan deal, it will be cheaper and they can even buy an average striker that can do better since the team have good creative midfielders that can feed him with passes, it will be better than keeping Osimhen that might not even give the team a good performance which will affect the team's performance.

Lukaku is at his best when he is coached by Antonio Conte, we saw this at Manchester united and at Inter when Antonio Conte was in charge, but I am also sure that for Antonio Conte it is more important to have Osimhen in the team than Lukaku, Victor has much more quality than Lukaku and Antonio Conte knows this and I think he will try to keep him at Napoli at least another year

Osimhen is an outstanding player; nobody denies this. You must, however, move on when a man's heart is not in it. Thats business. Lukaku is a machine under Conte; he knows how to perform for him. He is the kind of striker who can help Napoli to recover.

Sure, it might take some time. It might take some adjustments. Conte has a strategy, though, and in Lukaku he has the weapons to carry out it. Folks, this is a winning combo. And Napoli right now needs that: winners.

So, you can talk all you want about Osimhen's talent, but talent doesnt win championships. Hearts do. And Lukaku's heart resides in Rome with Conte. You want a person like this running your squad.

Well, from the start, or even before signing the contract with Napoli, Conte started approaching Lukaku. So it can be said that Conte really wants Napoli to bring Lukaku to Napoli. And sure enough, after he officially became Napoli coach, he immediately expressed his desire to bring in the Belgian striker. And the club, namely Napoli, also agrees with this. It's just that Napoli must first release Osimhen in the current transfer market and use the funds from Osimhen's transfer to bring in Lukaku. Napoli intends to make a player exchange with Chelsea. But as everyone knows, currently Chelsea only wants to focus on releasing Lukaku and there are no player exchanges.

If Conte's wish doesn't come true then maybe it will still be fine for Napoli. Because they still have a reliable striker. It's just that for Conte, maybe it will reduce his motivation to take this team in a better direction. Because after all, a coach must have his own plan in building a squad. And the club must support this plan by bringing in the players needed by the coach.

But indeed, as far as I know, Conte is a manager who always asks to buy players, and his wish must at least come true. Because if not,there might be a small dispute that might occur and if the dispute does occur then of course it will have a bad impact on the team's performance later. Of course, it would be very unfortunate if, for example, Conte was still the new manager of Napoli and have problems like that arose.

However, if Conte doesn't have many demands, then ofcourse that will be good for the team, because Conte should also understand the finances of teams that are not as good as those of Manchester City or maybe Real Madrid. But in any case, I personally still quite confident that Napoli will have a good performance in Conte coaching era.

If they wanted to profit from the sale of Osimhen last season they would have, but Napoli insisted on the price they wanted and in the end no team could afford what they wanted. Now when they really want to sell Osimhen, they are having a bit of a hard time even though they said they would be ready to negotiate to reach a deal. Some teams usually look at the recent performance of the players they are going to bring in, and we know that Osimhen has experienced a slight decline, although we know that decline is also because everyone has experienced a decline. But it still affects the way other teams view a player.
You are right, they can bring in a cheaper player, but they have to make sure that the player can replace the role played by Osimhen or at least the player can fill the gap left behind. Currently it is still unclear which team is really interested in this player, what is currently only rumors.

But things like this also seem to have happened last season. Where Lukaku is really wanted by Juventus and Inter Milan. But then Juventus and Inter Milan decided not to bring in Lukaku. Inter Milan wanted to make Lukaku permanent but at that time they were still hampered by financial problems so they were not able to do it. Meanwhile, Juventus wanted to barter but the agreement did not go smoothly and failed. And in the end Lukaku was loaned to Roma.  We saw this drama last season or more precisely in the transfer market last season. And I think the same thing could possibly happen again to Lukaku. But this player is actually very suitable for the Italian club. He is indeed suitable to play in Serie A. So I personally hope that Lukaku can soon find a club that wants to sign him permanently. And Napoli now really want him. But Napoli are still hampered by Osimhen, as no one has made an official offer for Osimhen. And Napoli seems to need funds to bring in Lukaku and will rely on funds from the sale of one of their best strikers.
