🤑 Safe bets, stars and struggles: Serie A giants' transfer market🔝 | OneFootball

New techniques, excellent transfers, and valuable acquisitions. The first 20 days (official) of the football market have brought significant news within the main Serie A clubs.

According to data reported by Transfermarkt, Atalanta is the big club that has spent the most so far. The Goddess has taken out 79.8 million euros from its own pockets. Following are Juventus (73.9), Inter (68.4), Fiorentina (43.5), and Napoli (43.1). The team that has earned the most, on the other hand, is Milan with 98.8 million.

Let's read the report on the market conducted by the top Italian clubs so far.

Atalanta, the Juric era begins

After nine long and satisfying years with Gian Piero Gasperini at the helm of Atalanta, the Orobic club has entrusted itself to Ivan Juric, one of the main pupils of Gasp. With the Croatian technician, the buyouts of Lazar Samardzic (14.8 million euros), Marco Brescianini (10), and Odilon Kossounou (20) have arrived, the purchase from the Premier League of Kamaldeen Sulemana, and the purchase of prospect from Genoa, Honest Ahanor, both for 17 million.

The imminent transfer of Mateo Retegui to Saudi Arabia is also pushing the Bergamaschi to close for Georges Mikautadze from Lyon. It remains to be seen how the probable exit of Ademola Lookman towards Inter will be managed.

Bologna, the goal of reconfirmation

The goal of Vincenzo Italiano's Bologna is to confirm the wonderful previous season, which ended with the conquest of the Coppa Italia after 51 years. To do this, the Felsinean management has decided to rely on the return to Italy of two European champions like Ciro Immobile and Federico Bernardeschi, and a young central player requested by half a continent, Martin Vitik (11 million euros).

For now, having redeemed Nicolò Casale from Lazio for 6.5 million, having taken back Tommaso Pobega from Milan for 8 million, and having retained all the best elements of the squad is a further guarantee of Bologna's ambitions.

Fiorentina, time for Champions?

With Italiano first and Raffaele Palladino then, Fiorentina has shown that it can be counted among the strongest teams in the championship. The fact that the squad has been enriched with the experience and quality of Edin Dzeko and the freshness of Jacopo Fazzini (10 million euros) and Mattia Viti (on loan) is no small thing. All this, combined with the wise management of Stefano Pioli, makes for good hopes.

The buyouts of Nicolò Fagioli (13.5 million), Albert Gudmundsson (13), and Robin Gosens (7) are another important piece. The possible purchases of Adrian Bernabe and Franck Kessie would represent a further leap in quality. Another goal, however, is to slim down a squad that has taken on enormous proportions with the numerous returns from loans.

Inter, few but good

After some market sessions, characterized by economic constraints and free signings, Inter has decided to invest and has so far tried to shore up and rejuvenate a worn-out squad. In the presence of the new coach Cristian Chivu, the 23-year-old Luis Henrique from Marseille for 23 million euros and the 21-year-olds Petar Sucic from Dinamo Zagreb and Ange-Yoan Bonny from Parma have arrived, respectively for 14 and 23 million.

The buyout of Nicola Zalewski for 6.5 million is also very important. The possible arrival of Lookman, finally, would more than compensate for the departures in attack of Joaquin Correa, Marko Arnautovic, and (probably) Mehdi Taremi.

Juventus, a matter of buyouts

Juventus' market is currently stuck on the buyouts of players acquired during the previous season. The Bianconeri have so far spent 28.1 million euros for Nico Gonzalez, 17.2 for Lloyd Kelly, and 14.3 for Pierre Kalulu and Michele Di Gregorio. Soon, Francisco Conceicao should also join them.

The other significant signing is that of Jonathan David, a 25-year-old Canadian striker who arrived on a free transfer after beating a large competition. Now, Igor Tudor, confirmed at the helm of the Old Lady before the Club World Cup, will also have to deal with the various returns from loans.

Lazio, blocked market

The market block that hit Lazio during the summer has left Maurizio Sarri and the management led by Claudio Lotito with their hands tied. The buyouts of Nicolò Rovella (17 million euros), Nuno Tavares (5), Luca Pellegrini (4), Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (3.43), and Samuel Gigot (500 thousand) are important but cannot be enough to improve what was done last year.

There is talk of a concrete interest in Lorenzo Insigne, who has concluded his experience in MLS with Toronto Raptors, but as long as the Biancoceleste company does not solve its problems, no possible purchase can be made official.

Milan, another reconstruction

The Milan that welcomed the return of Massimiliano Allegri in Rossonero after 11 years is a team that will have to undergo another reconstruction of the last decade. The significant transfers of Tijjani Reijnders and Theo Hernandez, from which the Devil drew 55 and 25 million euros respectively, have been numerically covered with the arrivals of Samuele Ricci for 23 million and Luka Modric on a free transfer.

The signings of the 22-year-olds Ardon Jashari, a midfielder at Club Brugge, and Marc Pubill, a left winger at Almeria, seem close, but it is in the center of the defense and in the attack that the new Milan DS Igli Tare will have to act to make the team competitive.

Napoli, a striking move

Champion Napoli has given itself Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer and Noa Lang, a 26-year-old attacking winger from PSV Eindhoven, for 25 million euros. In addition, Lorenzo Lucca (9 million for the loan) and Luca Marianucci (another 9 million for the definitive purchase) have been taken.

Soon, the official announcement of the signing of Sam Beukema from Bologna could arrive. Later, it will be time to get rid of the numerous excess players to focus on other pieces that should improve the squad in view of the double commitment of the championship and the Champions League.

Roma, a "late" market

Gasperini has already complained about the delay with which Roma is conducting the summer market. Today's arrival of Evan Ferguson has unlocked the situation after Benfica "snatched" the Palmeiras midfielder Richard Rios from the Giallorossi.

Besides the purchase of the Irish striker from Brighton with the formula of the loan with the right of redemption set at around 40 million euros, the buyout of Manu Kone and several transfers are to be reported.
