With Antonio Conte at the helm they will be the number one contender for a few years. They are making a really noteworthy transfer campaign and I am happy for them. Actually, lucky them that they can afford to make such an important transfer campaign! I'm used to seeing the rejects of other teams being bought
Jokes aside, I think that this next championship will be more balanced, as you said there are Milan and Lazio who will not have European commitments and therefore will concentrate only on the championship. It will do Serie A good by increasing the interest of more teams to fight until the end.
