AC Milan, Napoli, and Sampdoria: what do the three sides have in common? Two are scudetto contenders, and one is a relegation possibility, but all three have spoken recently about losses.

Both AC Milan and Napoli have reiterated that their star strikers, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani respectively, won't be leaving this summer.

Milos Krasic and Edinson Cavani were surely two nominees for players of the season by December. And somehow, by March, a mere three months later, both seem vague shadows of the empirical figures they once were. Fatigue and form may be an issue for the two attacking players, but unless Napoli and Juventus figure out how to restore verve to these men sorely lacking it at the present, they risk losing it all this season.
