⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2025/2026 ⚽

Napoli will still continue to rely on Lukaku? I haven't seen any transfer speculation regarding him. He made a not bad score contribution last season. But he can't score like in the past I'm afraid and he is 32 now.

However Conte won't let him go soon probably. He really loves him.    We'll see if KDB's arrival will make him more productive than this. Aside from that Lukaku's physical superiority is still something else!

Lukaku is one of Antonio Conte's favourite players, he would hardly get rid of him, so I strongly believe that Conte will continue to rely on him and his goals.
32 years is not a lot for a footballer, it is certainly the beginning of his decline but he can still give a lot for a couple of years

Como have been quite a surprise this season, making some significant signings, even surpassing Inter Milan in total. Rumors that they'll trying to sign Vardy, even though they've just completed the signing of Perrone from Man City, they won't stop to buy another. I think, they're fighting hard to stay in Serie A next season, and maybe the next target is achieve a minimum UEL spots, if we look at their impressive signings so far.

Yes, i know very well, dear friend, Inter fan like me, he has a real obsession, in my opinion he is in love, obviously football-wise.
Romero is a good player and also very intelligent. Accused of being a mercenary, in my opinion, unfairly. He is good one

They're professional footballers, it's their profession, they work for the best employer in their opinion! A bit like us mere mortals who change jobs when the old one gets too tight. He made his choices after Conte left, and obviously the fans' discontent was felt! Not everyone remains attached to the Inter shirt like Zanetti ❤️

Galatasaray is about to finalise the deal with Napoli. Osimhen is about to sign for them officially. He didn't want to join the camp already. He was going to be away from football otherwise.

If the problems between him and Napoli didn't get that big I believe he would be much more useful for them than Lukaku.

The reason AC Milan acquired Luka Modric is strictly related to merchandise sales.
A big name like his generates a lot of sales and huge revenues. Let's say it's a good deal for AC Milan financially. I agree with you, he's getting on in years and most likely won't be able to play all the time, but he'll get his chances.

I have done a check on Modric's salary after joining Milan. It is €6.5m per year and it goes up to €7.5m with bonuses. If the merchandise sales will be enough to cover an important part of it then yes it would be worth it.

It seems that's the case. So far, Lukaku is Napoli's mainstay center forward. His only option is Lorenzo Lucca, on loan from Udinese. Who knows what tactics Conte will employ. So far, Napoli's arrival process hasn't made much progress. So, we're still waiting for rumors about who else they'll sign, although it's not as many as other clubs.

By the way, regarding Atalanta's main player, Lookman,'s continued interest in Inter's offer, Atalanta ultimately rejected Inter's first offer. Meanwhile, they're also in talks with Atletico Madrid.

You are absolutely right Como has been big surprise this season making some impressive player signings even more than Inter Milan which shows they are not just happy being promoted to Serie A. Rumors about them trying to sign Vardy even after getting Perrone from Man City really highlight their strong desire to build competitive team with both experienced and young players. It is clear their main goal is to stay in Serie A next season but with such ambitious moves they might even aim for Europa League spot in near future making them team to watch in Italian football.

[bastisisca]

They're professional footballers, it's their profession, ...

Yes, without a doubt, the problem is that sometimes they forget that they are professional players and start doing stupid things.
They need to be brought back on the right path. Honestly, people like Ronaldo, or even good old Pavel Nedved, in short, all those who take their work seriously, i respect them a lot.

What's surprising is Como's owners, the Hartono Brothers, who decided to give Fabregas free to sign players. Henry and Fabregas are key to Como's easy player acquisition, but as an Indonesian owner, he understands how to develop the club. However, they must be careful with this decision, as it could backfire on the club's finances. While the club's owners are worth over $20 billion wouldn't all of their money be used to save the club if they continually buy players without considering the club's finances, right? If in the end, this season they fail to finish to get 1 spot in the UEL, perhaps this player spending will be in vain for Como.

Obviously, not all footballers are like Lukaku. I really admire the old glories like Ronaldo, Nedved, Maldini, Zanetti, and Del Piero. All people who put seriousness first. Now they are just players spoiled by their agents
And I don't think we'll ever see old-school players again! Now it's just a matter of business!

Honestly I believe in the Como project.    They are taking really good steps about revolutionizing the club. Currently the main focus seems to be on young players.

Lately there are some really good transfers and there might be more to come also. Without these transfers they were still able to enter top 10 last season. Hopefully they can aim higher next time.

I must admit a thing here. I wasn't expecting Fabregas to reject Leverkusen job.

Sometimes the money they're being paid get into their head and tend to forget that they're to avoid certain things and behave professional as professional players they're especially players of this younger generation thar are always on the media either distracted by women or replying to fans banners.

It seems like a really good project, especially since i see there's money to invest, which makes it work in a certain sense. The really sad thing is that they're investing in the team but not in the infrastructure. I've heard the stadium is pretty run-down.

Maybe Como Football Club will make a big signing in the summer transfer window, that is, this season everyone has already observed this. A proper review of this team will show that they have several Spanish players and even have a Galatasaray player on the verge of joining their team. There is currently a strong rumor that Alvaro Morata will join Como Football Club, meaning that this player could change the formation of the team next season, I think this move to this club could be the 32 year old Spanish international's last move. Given the consistency with which he was able to play well at Atletico Madrid Football Club before, seeing that we can easily assume that his new destination will be an easier and he can easily play a role there.

I wasn't expecting Fabregas to reject Leverkusen job. 

In addition to being a coach, Fabregas is also a minority shareholder at Como. So, it's normal that he's trying to improve the team personally. I believe the main reason he's retained his position at Como because of his confidence in improving the team. Playing a dual role isn't easy, but Fabregas is willing to take the risk. However, when he coached Barcelona, he was quite good, so competing for a UEL spot next season still makes sense for Fabregas to reach that position.

[katanic97]

I don't think it makes very sense for Milan to sign Modric. He is soon becoming 40 years old. How much can he contribute to the team? I respect his career very much but I think it is time for him to think of retirement.

I mean he can't play full time. Probably Milan wanted to benefit from his experience by subbing him in later in a match. I don't expect him to be a regular starter.

Because his match condition wouldn't be convincing to play effective for 90 minutes. 

I think that when it comes to physical fitness, Modrić can still play the full 90 minutes. Of course, his form isn’t what it used to be, but unfortunately, the italian league isn’t as demanding as it once was, and players generally have enough time to adapt. His experience will bring many benefits to Milan, especially since they’ll most likely be fighting for the Scudetto. Never underestimate Luka we’re talking about the former number 10 of Real Madrid

Napoli has finally agreed terms with Galatasaray. It wasn't easy for the Turkish team though as Napoli's demands were really high:

- €40m transfer fee + €35m to be paid next year
- €5m goal bonus
- 10% sell-on clause
- Not selling him to Italian teams for 2 years

No other European team wanted to make an offer for him at these conditions.    Osimhen rejected an unbelievable offer by Al-Hilal and now he is moving on with Galatasaray. We'll watch him in the CL next season.

It seems like it hasn't been long since I've been following Bologna's progress. There are some pretty impressive new updates regarding this top Serie A club. After previously dropping to 9th place in the rankings, Bologna has started to improve this season.

- Signed new winger, Federico Bernardeschi
Although his market value dropped considerably after leaving Juventus, he is now expected to strengthen the winger, especially the right winger, for Bologna.

- Bologna won a friendly match with a score of 7-0 against Valles.

They have no problem recovering their expenses, they are very wealthy people who only want to deal with the world of football to earn money, and the best way to do so is to make this sport spectacular, with noteworthy purchasers making everyone go to the stadium.

[CLS63]

I really appreciate Bologna's good look in the last 2 seasons despite changing managers. First they finished in top 5 which was enough to bring Juventus' attention to Motta. Later they had a worse finish with Vincenzo Italiano maybe but still won a Coppa Italia trophy.

They aren't one of the youngest teams in the Serie A with an average age of 26.5. But considering their market value they are able to perform just the expected. We are going to watch them in the Europa League next season.
