The championship that is about to begin promises to be more hard-fought than in recent seasons. Inter and Napoli are ahead in the evaluations of the experts, with squads considered the most complete in Serie A. Behind them, Juventus and Roma are indicated as the main alternatives in the race for the top.
The Nerazzurri start again with a large and consolidated squad. The goal in the transfer market remains to strengthen the defense led by Chivu, a department that showed some weaknesses last season. A central defender is the priority for the sports area to complete the squad.
Mauro Braglia has also spoken about the league hierarchy. According to the pundit, Juventus can trouble Inter and even Roma has what it takes to aim for the title. This scenario broadens the number of contenders compared to recent years, when the dominance was more clear-cut.
Juventus represents the main unknown among the leading group. A deep squad and ongoing negotiations still place them among the top four. Roma is looking to break into the top zone, while Milan wants to return among the Champions teams after a lackluster season.
The economic values of the squads confirm the current hierarchy. According to Transfermarkt, Inter and Napoli have the most expensive squads in the Italian championship. However, the gap with the chasers is smaller than in the years when a single team dominated without rivals. The odds from operators authorized by the ADM place Inter and Napoli at the top, with payout percentages between 93 and 95 percent.
The transfer market operations, still ongoing, can quickly change the balance of power. The daily moves involving the Nerazzurri and their direct competitors show how fluid the situation remains. The calendar, which Lega Serie A will release just before the start, will also have a decisive impact: close head-to-head matches, a tough start, and overlap with European cups matter as much as an effective transfer campaign.
Inter confirms itself among the small group of title contenders, in a tournament that looks more balanced than usual. The final grid will take shape in the coming weeks, in the transfer market, even before the opening whistle.
