Bolstered by this success, they've invested wisely, using the additional funds from Sandro Tonali's sale to enhance their squad. The 2021/22 Champions have added significant talents like Christian Pulisic, Samuel Chukwueze, Noah Okakor, Tijjani Reijnders and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, all while ensuring they keep their league top scorer from last season Rafael Leao. The Portuguese forward committed himself to the club by signing a contract extension till 2028 and is expected to lead their attack again this season. While a few more defensive additions could be beneficial, Milan is already well-equipped and under the strategic leadership of Stefano Pioli, who guided them to the Scudetto in 2021/22, the Rossoneri are in position challenge for their 20th Serie A title. We have provided for you the best odds in this market.
**Juventus to win the Serie A:** Juventus is Italy’s most successful football club with a record 36 Scudetto titles to their name, The Turin club has faced a challenging period recently, going without a title for the past three seasons. Yet, their history of dominance is undeniable, having clinched an unprecedented nine straight consecutive championships from 2011-12 to 2019-20. This season, however, they find themselves out of the Champions League, not due to their performance on the pitch as they would have finished fourth, but rather an unfortunate 10-point deduction, which dropped them to a seventh-place finish, robbing them of even a Europa Conference League spot due sanctions of improper transfer dealings by the Italian FA & UEFA respectively. While it looks like Juventus has been quiet in the transfer market, they have confirmed the permanent signings of Moise Kean, Manuel Locatelli and Arkadiusz Milik, while adding Timothy Weah and Facundo Gonzalez. This season, Juventus faces the unique opportunity of focusing solely on local competitions without the distractions of European commitments. Keeping their core team intact, guided by the experienced Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus could very well turn this seeming challenge into a hidden blessing, as they strive to reclaim their dominance on the domestic front.
**Napoli to win the Serie A:** Napoli secured their first Scudetto in 33 years with an impressive 16-point lead last season, and they also made it to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals before being edged out by AC Milan. Under the guidance of Luciano Spalletti, the team's performance was remarkable, with just 4 losses in 38 league games. Key players like Victor Osimhen, the league's top scorer last season with 26 goals, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the leading assister and MVP, and Min Jae Kim, who contributed 16 clean sheets, showcased outstanding performances. Although Napoli appears to be retaining their key players for the upcoming season, there have been notable changes. The departure of manager Luciano Spalletti, replaced by Rudi Garcia and the sale of Kim Min Jae replaced by Nathan raises some challenges in defending the title. On a positive note, they've kept Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, confirmed the permanent signings of Giacomo Raspadori and Giovanni Simeone, and added defensive midfielder Jens Cajuste and goalkeeper Elia Caprile to reinforce the squad. As a result, they remain strong contenders and are among the favourites to clinch the Scudetto for the second successive season in the upcoming campaign.
**Inter to win the Serie A:** Inter Milan's impressive journey in the 2022-23 Champions League, although ending in a loss to Manchester City in the final, earned global admiration. They secured a respectable 3rd place in the Serie A last season. However, Inter Milan faces a challenge due to significant departures from the squad, including key players such as Onana, Brozovic, Dzeko, Robin Gosens, and Romelu Lukaku. Under Simone Inzaghi's leadership, Inter Milan has been active in the transfer market, securing replacements for the departed stars. Notable additions include Yann Sommer, Davide Frattesi, Marko Arnautovic, Juan Cuadrado, and Marcus Thuram. Inter remains ambitious, aiming to enhance their squad's quality. Their pursuit of Chelsea's Chalobah and other top targets highlights their dedication to staying competitive. With a strong squad led by the talismanic Lautaro Martinez, amid recent successes, the Nerazzurri are favoured to compete for the Serie A title, seeking their second title in just four seasons.
