It seems Higuain will go to Milan and Milan will sell Bonucci to Juve in exchange for Caldara. The deal is almost complete.

Inter will surely get Vrsaljko from Atletico and maybe Vidal.

Serie A next season will be interesting, I can see Inter challenging Juve for the title while probably Napoli will collapse.

Napoli collapse? Because Sarri left?

Cycle was over with him anyway. De Laurentis family know what they are doing.

They sold Jorginho but that's about it. Verdi and Ruiz are interesting signings.

Don't know if they made the smartest choice with appointing Ancelotti but they could have done a lot worse than signing one of the best managers of all time.

The problem is that with Sarri they overachieved and there's no way they will get more than 90 points again.

Ancelotti is also a terrible league manager. He won only 1 league title in 9 years with one of the best AC Milan teams of all time, lost the title with Juventus, lost a title with PSG and couldn't win la liga with Real Madrid.

That is true, even his autobiography is titled "I prefer cups". :lol:

They won't crumble though. Too much quality in that squad.

How is Bonucci going to help them? They're going to get eaten alive if they play a 3 man backline again

They will play with 4 at the back: Cancelo-Bonucci-Chiellini-Alex Sandro

Bonucci just simply doesn't work in anything else than a 3 man backline with two defensive studs next to him. For a defender he's shockingly poor in the basics of defending.

Disagree, in 2014/15 and 2016/17 Juve played with a 4 man backline and Bonucci was very good.

The only defender who is shockingly poor in the basics of defending is Piqué who gets humiliated almost every match by everyone who has decent pace.
