Countdown to deadline day: Five Serie A transfers about to be confirmed | OneFootball

The summer transfer window will end in less than a week, so here are five transfers that will be confirmed in the coming days, or even earlier.

The final week of the summer transfer window in Serie A has already begun and will officially end on September 1 at 20:00 CET.

Several Italian clubs are expected to make new purchases in the coming days; some deals have already been completed and will be announced soon.

Starting from clubs expected to fight for survival this season, Hellas Verona have a deal in place for Southampton defender Armel Bella-Kotchap, as Football Italia exclusively reported on Tuesday.

The German centre-back is expected in Verona to undergo his medical tests before completing a loan move.

At the same time, Lecce have agreed a deal to sign Nikola Stulic from Charleroi. The Serbia international will replace Nikola Krstovic, who joined Atalanta earlier this summer.

Newly promoted side Pisa have reached an agreement for Calvin Stengs’ transfer from Feyenoord and will also announce his move in the coming days.

Watch out for top clubs as well, especially Milan and Napoli, who also have some exciting deals in place to strengthen their attacks.

The Rossoneri have shaken hands with Sporting CP over Conrad Harder’s permanent €27m transfer, but the 20-year-old won’t undergo medical tests before next Friday, according to the latest reports.

This means Milan will only announce the striker’s purchase over the weekend, probably after their next Serie A match against Lecce.

Last but not least, Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund is expected to join Napoli on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy.

The defending Serie A champions are sorting out the last few details with the Red Devils, hoping to complete the Denmark international’s transfer today, according to Sky Sport.

Napoli started the new Serie A campaign with a convincing 2-0 away victory at Sassuolo with goals courtesy of Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne.

“It’s a great group,” De Bruyne, a Napoli newcomer, said after scoring his first Serie A goal last weekend.

“They’ve helped me settle in easily, the foreigners and the Italian guys, so I try to help them with my experience, but they teach me how they play in Italy. I think it’s going very well, but we still have to grow.”

Milan, on the other hand, suffered a shocking 2-1 home loss to another newly-promoted Serie A side, Cremonese.

The Rossoneri had reached an agreement with Victor Boniface and Bayer Leverkusen, but the deal was called off after the Nigerian had unsuccessful medical tests in Italy.
