Head coach Cesc Fabregas praised Liberali's creativity and technical ability, while the Italy youth international said Como's playing style made the move an ideal fit.

14.7.26 Fiorentina

Fiorentina have completed the signing of Alex Jimenez on loan from Bournemouth with an option to buy, with the deal potentially becoming permanent for €20 million. The defender returns to Serie A after his time at AC Milan, while his move comes as he remains suspended in England amid an ongoing FA investigation into alleged inappropriate social media messages.

12.7.26 Fiorentina

Fiorentina have signed French midfielder Arthur Atta from Udinese in a club-record deal reportedly worth €30 million plus a 30% sell-on clause. The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract after an impressive season in Serie A, where he contributed five goals and four assists.

11.7.26 Milan

AC Milan have signed defender Mario Gila from Lazio for an initial €25 million plus up to €5 million in add-ons, with Real Madrid receiving 50% of the transfer fee due to a sell-on clause. The 25-year-old has signed a five-year contract, and chose Milan over interest from several Serie A rivals.

10.7.26 Atalanta

Atalanta have signed midfielder Gianluca Gaetano from Cagliari in a deal reportedly worth around €14 million. The 26-year-old arrives after making 33 Serie A appearances last season and is expected to replace Ederson, who is close to joining Manchester United. Gaetano, a Napoli academy graduate with 93 Serie A appearances, joins Atalanta as the club begins its first season under new manager Maurizio Sarri.

1.7.26 Milan

AC Milan have completed the signing of Portugal striker Goncalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain for a reported club-record fee of more than €70 million. The 25-year-old has signed a contract until 2031 after scoring 45 goals in three seasons with PSG.

Parma has completed the permanent signing of American midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi from Inter Miami for a reported €4 million plus performance-based add-ons after triggering the purchase option in his loan agreement. The 20-year-old made nine Serie A appearances during his loan spell, which was disrupted by injuries.

16.6.26 Udinese

Nicolo Zaniolo has joined Udinese on a permanent transfer after the club activated its purchase option from Galatasaray. The 26-year-old midfielder, who spent last season on loan with Udinese, signed a three-year contract.

9.6.26 Lazio

Lazio have completed the permanent signing of Senegal striker Boulaye Dia from Salernitana for €11.3 million after two seasons on loan. Dia scored 14 goals in 78 appearances during his time with Lazio, though he struggled last season with just two goals in all competitions. The 29-year-old also lost his place in the Senegal national team setup but will hope a permanent move to Rome helps revive his career ahead of the new Serie A season.
