Legendary Ex AC Milan Coach Predicts ‘Napoli Favourites For Serie A Title – But Inter Milan Closing The Gap With Lookman'
Arrigo Sacchi feels that Napoli are the favourites for the Serie A title, but Inter Milan are 'closing the gap' by signing Ademola Lookman. The legendary former AC Milan and Italy coach gave his thoughts on the upcoming title race in today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Last season, the title race in Serie A came down to Napoli and Inter Milan. The Partenopei and the Nerazzurri fought it out until the final day of the campaign. In the end, just a point separated the pair at the top of the table, with the Campanian team prevailing. That suggests that it could be another close-run race next season as well. On the other hand, both Napoli and Inter have been very active in the transfer market this summer. The Partenopei have reinforced with big name signings like Kevin De Bruyne, Noa Lang, and Sam Beukema. And they are likely to make one or two more at least. Meanwhile, Inter have signed the likes of Petar Sucic, Luis Henrique, and Ange-Yoan Bonny, as well as bringing Francesco Pio Esposito back. Furthermore, the Nerazzurri are pushing to sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta. They will also likely sign a defender before the transfer window ends. There are also other factors to consider. Inter have changed coach, with Cristian Chivu replacing Simone Inzaghi following the latter's decision to step down and earn considerably more at Al-Hilal. Then, Napoli will have to navigate the new challenge of Champions League football after playing just one match per week for all of last season. Sacchi: 'Napoli Favourites For Serie A, But Inter Closing The Gap With Lookman' TURIN, ITALY – MARCH 09: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the Serie A match between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium on March 09, 2025 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi writes that 'I'll start by saying I still consider Napoli the favourites for the title.' 'I say this because I'm taking several factors into account,' he continues. 'Napoli are ahead. But Inter could close the gap if they sign Lookman, and have a spectacular title race.' Sacchi writes that Lookman's 'technical and athletic ability are beyond question.' 'He's shown that at Atalanta.' Then, the former Milan coach writes that 'I appreciate Chivu for what he's done at Parma, a team that are particularly dear to me.' 'He kept them up by quickly giving them a clear identity: Organization, determination, a spirit of sacrifice, and great defensive quality.' 'But at Inter it will be a different story,' Sacchi anticipates. 'The Nerazzurri will have to take control of the game, and not just play on the counterattack.' 'So Chivu will have to make some changes compared to what we saw at Parma.' Meanwhile, Sacchi believes that an attacking trident of Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, and Ademola Lookman is possible. 'But to get that trio on the pitch, the forwards need to work hard in the press,' he warns. 'Otherwise the team will struggle.'
