The gong is played. After the summer session of the transfer market, three months of infinite negotiations (and dead times) that leave roses and teams with which 20 of the Serie A face the season. It was not a very poor market, in the sense that many big names have invested huge figures to try to correct the structural errors of last year. There are those who did it by drawing on the reserves put away with foresight, those who reinvest the money earned by going to Europe and fill up with bonuses and prizes and those who first sold in a massive way and then tried to build a new sports project.
The field will explain who he was right and who is wrong. Some shy signal was caught in the first two days of a championship which, as tradition, started with a session still open. Be careful to confuse the signals with definitive sentences: in August 2024 Napoli seemed without prospects and ten months later celebrated the historic fourth championship with the Conte guide.
Here are the report cards of the summer session of the 2025 transfer market.
Naples (vote 9) – De Laurentiis was the real king of the market. He began convincing Conte to stay and smoothing out the diversity of views of last winter, he continued by equipping him with a deep and quality rose, ideal for commanding in Italy and trying to do well in Europe. The icing on the cake was the speed with which Napoli went to Hojlund, allocating 50 million euros, in reaction to Lukaku’s injury: only a great club behaves like this and the Neapolitans today are without discussion.
Como (vote 8) – On the shore at Lario there is no expense at the expense and the project of the Hartono brothers is still in an expansive phase, pending the moment when they too will have to bring the accounts back. Fabregas has been retained, as well as the Nico Paz jewel (rejected offered by 70 million euros). A hundred million euros invested in a nidiata of talented young people on whose explosion it is impossible not to bet.
Fiorentina (vote 7) – The renewal of Kean, defended by the Arab sirens and prolonged until 2029, accompanied to the arrival of Dzeko and little ones have strengthened the purple attack. Also Comuzzo in the end remained and in the report card these confirmations weigh more than one shopping campaign that did not add too much to Stefano Pioli, called to Florence to try to get his hands on the trophy slipped away in the last three years.
Cremonese (vote 7) – Davide Nicola had a rose from Arvedi that seems built to chase salvation. Baschirotto, Bondo, Terracciano, Zerbin, Pezzella and Sanabria: functional players for a technician used to measuring himself with the lower part of the ranking. The sparkling start of the championship must not, however, make anyone deluded; There will be to suffer.
Udinese (vote 7) – Sometimes working calmly and consistently and this is the case of Runjaic’s Udinese. The transfer of Lucca and Thauvin forces to change the habits of last season, but the Friulians already have what they need and enhance it at home. Attack, Davis and Bravo, to make three names, are the future jewels to be put on the market not after taking the best possible for them for a team destined to make a season without suffering.
Inter (vote 6) – The Nerazzurri fans are angry because the declared top objectives (Lookman and Koné) have faded. But the big names all confirmed and the young people who promise a lot are a value. Sucic is ready to be the owner, Pio Esposito enters the national team, Bonny and Luis Henrique reinforce the bench. The problem is that a new cycle has been started without changing anything about the squad and that those who seemed priority (a defender and a midfielder) remained on the card once the main objectives have faded. Exception: Akanji’s last minute engagement with Pavard departure, almost as a reaction to the Ko with Udinese. Who explains what was done? Is it okay in Chivu?
Cagliari (vote 6.5) – having sold small at top players prices, full and safe promotion is worth. Pisacane is a bet by President Giulini and will have to not make mistakes to make a team that has also lost other important men, but that overall does not seem to have weakened too much.
Juventus (vote 6) – The vote is the average between what is delivered to Tudor in attack (8) and the rest that resembles an incoming on which the Croatian technician will have to intervene a lot. Comolli had too many knots to dissolve, someone impossible, and she is sheltered from excessive criticism for the things that have not gone. The synthesis is that the best blow and who has remained (Vlahovic understood net of the budget issues), the attack is top in Italy and Europe for depth and variety while in midfield and in defense everything will be verified. The dismantling of the Next Gen project continued, now officially the case where to withdraw the cash, less and less, to be reinvested.
Bologna (vote 6) – On trust, in Giovanni Sartori. Deserved confidence in years of career and who justifies to have monetized with the departures of the various Beukema and Ndoye reinvesting in other boys to be enhanced. Immobile made crash immediately but there is Castro ready behind him. Intrigated to see Rowe in Italian football.
Lecce, Sassuolo and Verona (vote 6) – The field will say, but all have set up teams who will be able to respond to the task entrusted: fight, sweating until the end, to maintain the category. In the case of the Sassuolo experience in midfield with Matic. Verona has accustomed to excel in the art of research of hidden talent while in Lecce Post Krstovic it intrigues the couple formed by the very young Camarda and the call of Corvino, Stulic.
Genoa and Pisa (5.5 vote) – Genoa has sold so much and bought less. The continuity of Vieira on the bench is excellent news for the Griffin fans, but the line behind the attacker is all to be verified. The newly promoted Pisa put together boys and big names (Cuadrado above all). Did he succeed?
Parma (5.5 vote) – He sold a lot and well, as is right for a provincial road. The bet is the youngest technician in the series to which a team was given to be verified.
Rome (vote 5) – The stakes imposed by UEFA after years of budgets in red weighed. Gasperini certainly did not have everything he wanted and will have to be taken into account in pulling the sums of the season. A striker is missing as well as Ferguson (excellent), instead of Dovbyk who remained for inertia and nothing more. The Sancho-George affair was almost surreal, but something has moved and the idea is that the cycle can start with a slower rhythm but also with the possibility of taking the roots.
Atalanta (vote 5) – The synthesis is that today’s Atalanta is less strong than that of last season. The sale of resources to those figures was a masterpiece, but Juric who is a bet was entrusted with a team that found Scamacca and also lost Lookman. At least until proven otherwise. The management of the Dublin hero can have many reading keys; Certainly a strong signal was given to players and prosecutors, but it is a fact that the percassi have not had any offer that even approached the 45 million put on the plate by Inter and now they must manage an out of pink player, discontent and which will hardly maintain the same value. Provided that it reintegrates it, otherwise the short circuit would be complete.
Milan (vote 5) – Urgent explanation, because the final product could be better than what appeared in the course of work. Nkunku and above all Rabiot were chips produced by the desperation of the shock of the championship. For the rest it was a record market of sales (applause to those who made them), while on the construction of the team the right word is “improvisation”. The change of module in late August does not justify everything. For example: is it logical that the two strongest players of the squad, Leao and Pulisic, must adapt from tips after everything had been designed for 4-3-3 for two months? In midfield some mess was made between duplicates and shots made before Tare came. Defense exteriors are reviewed, the ready defender has not arrived, replaced by a 19 -year -old boy. In short, not enough even if Allegri has experience and quality to put everything together.
Turin (vote 5) – The usual market from Turin of the Cairo era. Understandable that the fans are angry because the bull seems to never take off and be a thousand miles away from the proclamations of its president. The bets on Asllani and Ngonge are interesting, the one on the goalkeeper Israel instead of Milinkovic Savic is risky.
Lazio (without vote) – He couldn’t make a market. He did not make a market. Unjustable.
