Inter Milan - Champions Aiming for Back to Back
- Manager: Cristian Chivu
- President: Giuseppe Marotta
- Key Players: Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco, Nicolò Barella, Hakan Çalhanoglu, Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martínez
- In: Manuel Akanji (Manchester City), John Stones (Manchester City), Aleksandar Stanković (Club Brugge)
- Out: Yann Sommer (Club Brugge), Stefan de Vrij (Panathinaikos), Francesco Acerbi (Released), Denzel Dumfries (Real Madrid), Franco Carboni (Parma), Matteo Darmian (Released), Sebastiano Esposito (Cagliari)
Inter returned to the top of Serie A last season and were hardly threatened, finishing 11 points ahead of Napoli. They scored an impressive 89 goals, 24 more than Como.
Lautaro Martínez scored 17 goals, the most in the competition with Marcus Thuram not far behind.
Cristian Chivu has a strong side but right-back looks light and the wide attacking positions will need to be addressed. Wilfried Singo and Malick Fofana are some of the players rumoured to be moving to northern Italy.
Chivu will have learned a lot after a season in charge at San Siro and it makes sense that Inter are the favourites.
Napoli - Allegri Replaces Conte in Naples
- Manager: Massimiliano Allegri
- President: Aurelio de Laurentiis
- Key Players: Scott McTominay, Kevin De Bruyne, Rasmus Hojlund
- In: Vanja Milinković-Savić (Torino), Alisson Santos (Sporting CP), Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United)
- Out: Juan Jesus (Released), Miguel Gutiérrez (Bayer Leverkusen), Alessandro Zanoli (Udinese), Giovanni Simeone (Torino), Romelu Lukaku (Fenerbahce)
Antonio Conte guided Napoli to the 2024-25 Serie A title before a second placed finish last season. The manager stepped aside and has been replaced by Massimiliano Allegri.
Allegri inherits a deep squad led by Scott McTominay who has become a crowd favourite in Naples. The Scot is the first name on the team sheet and his form will go a long way to deciding Napoli's fate.
There is more work to be done in the transfer market with ten players returning from loan spells.
Juventus - Old Lady Falling Off the Pace
- Manager: Luciano Spalletti
- President: Gianluca Ferrero
- Key Players: Bremer, Manuel Locatelli, Khéphren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceição
- In: Zeki Celik (Roma), Kerim Alajbegovic (Bayer Leverkusen), Jérémie Boga (Nice), Randal Kolo Muani (Paris Saint-Germain), Jeff Ekhator (Genoa)
- Out: Filip Kostic (PSV Eindhoven), Timothy Weah (Marseille), Lois Openda (Lyon), Dušan Vlahović (Besiktas)
Juventus haven't finished in the Top 2 in six straight seasons, a long way from the side that won nine consecutive titles from 2012 to 2020.
Luciano Spalletti has been in charge since October and has overseen a overhaul of the attack. Randal Kolo Muani and Jeff Ekhator have been brought in to try and solve their issues up front.
Highly rated teenager Kerim Alajbegovic has come in from Bayer Leverkusen and Kenan Yildiz is set to continue his rise, the Turkish playermaker rapidly rising to superstar status.
AC Milan - Amorim Era Begins for the Rossoneri
- Manager: Rúben Amorim
- President: Paolo Scaroni
- Key Players: Adrien Rabiot, Alexis Saelemaekers, Christian Pulisic, Samuel Chukwueze, Gonçalo Ramos
- In: Mario Gila (Lazio), Gonçalo Ramos (Paris Saint-Germain)
- Out: Álex Jiménez (Bournemouth), Ismaël Bennacer (Released), Tommaso Pobega (Bologna), Lorenzo Colombo (Genoa), Álvaro Morata (Como)
AC Milan have regresses since winning the 2021-22 title, finishing in the Top 3 on one occasion since.
The club spent over €100m to acquire Mario Gila and Gonçalo Ramos but it remains to be seen if they can score enough goals to compete for the title.
Massimiliano Allegri left after just once season in charge and has been replaced by Rúben Amorim. The manager will be hoping his back three formation fares better than it did at Manchester United.
Roma - Long Wait for Capital Club
- Manager: Gian Piero Gasperini
- President: Dan Friedkin
- Key Players: Gianluca Mancini, Bryan Cristante, Manu Koné, Donyell Malen
- In: Daniele Ghilardi (Hellas Verona), Konstantinos Koulierakis (Wolfsburg), Nahuel Molina (Atlético Madrid, Santiago Castro (Bologna), Donyell Malen (Aston Villa)
- Out: Zeki Çelik (Juventus), Buba Sangaré (Elche), Saud Abdulhamid (Lens), Artem Dovbyk (Bologna)
Roma's 25-year wait for the Serie A title continues. Gian Piero Gasperini was brought in last season, ending the campaign with five straight wins to claim third spot.
Much of their success came on the defensive end, conceding 31 goals which was second best in the competition. Donyell Malen scored 14 goals in 18 appearances and is well placed to top the scoring charts this season.
The players should continue to improve in Gasperini's 3-5-2 formation and it would be little surprise to see Roma claim another Top 3 finish.
Como - Long Wait for Capital Club
- Manager: Cesc Fàbregas
- President: Mirwan Suwarso
- Key Players: Jacobo Ramón, Lucas Da Cunha, Nico Paz, Martin Baturina, Anastasios Douvikas
- In: Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea), Yan Couto (Borussia Dortmund), Kaiki (Cruzeiro), Luis Milla (Getafe), Mattia Liberali (Catanzaro), Álvaro Morata (AC Milan)
- Out: Stefan Posch (Mainz), Mërgim Vojvoda (Udinese), Yannik Engelhardt (Freiburg), Patrick Cutrone (Monza)
Como were big improvers last season, climbing from 10th to fourth in Serie A. Cesc Fàbregas is proving to be one of the hottest managers in football.
The Lombardy club had the best defence in the competition and have strengthened at the back by bringing in Trevoh Chalobah, Yan Couto and Kaiki.
Fàbregas will be desperate to hold onto Nico Paz who is undoubtedly his star player. There is plenty of attacking threat with Anastasios Douvikas scoring 14 goals in the previous campaign, third best in Serie A.
A Champions League debut could hinder their domestic ambitions, but with Fàbregas in charge and improvement expected, Como are well positioned to continue troubling the top teams in Italy.
Verdict
Inter Milan have the strongest squad in Serie A and with Lautaro Martínez up front, they have the best striker. Expect Cristian Chivu's side to defend their title.
