It's hard to imagine anyone other than Juventus' contesting for the league title next season and the season beyond.
Napoli are their closest rivals. They do have a good side that stands to inherit both Manolas and James this summer. Inter can only get better and in Conte have a willy coach who can take them to that next level.
Beyond them, however, everyone is playing catch-up. Roma and Milan are rebuilding. Fiorentina are now under new ownership and it remains to be seen how they will fare (he future looks brighter so far). Lazio is another side that should be doing better but have struggled of late.
Then there are sides like Torino, Atalanta and Sampdoria who could punch above their weight class, something Atalanta did this past season by finishing 3rd place and knocking Juve out of the Coppa Italia.
Since Ronaldo's signing to Juventus, Italy seems to have regained some of its old glamour, but they are a long way behind the EPL.
