In Serie A, the title race seems to be a closed discussion, even for Allegri himself, but so does the sports opinion. The only discussion is about the Champions League zone, who will secure a place among the first four teams. Even at this point, at least for the moment, there is only one unknown, which team will take fourth place. OPTA, the international agency for analyzing statistics in football, has also been involved in this discussion.

According to OPTA's supercomputer, Inter have a 99,9% chance of securing a Champions League place, followed by Milan with 98.6%. According to OPTA, Napoli are also almost certain of a Champions League place with 91,3%. The surprise comes in fourth place where Como are ranked with 37,78%, followed by Juve with 34,57%. Then come Roma and Atalanta.

The new season for all these teams that are competing to secure a place among the top 4 teams depends a lot on their presence or not in the Champions League. Napoli have already started to make their calculations, with the first two strikers expected to be Alisson Santos and Rasmus Hojlund.

With Conte's blessing, Napoli's management will activate the option to buy both players. The Brazilian striker has been a real hit, having scored 2 goals in his last 5 games so far. Napoli paid 3,5 million euros for his loan and will now pay another 15,5 million euros to buy him permanently from Sporting.

The same discussion with Holjund. The Dane is expected to officially become a Napoli player starting from the new season as his contract includes an immediate purchase if Napoli qualifies for the Champions League. His transfer is expected to cost the club 44 million euros.
