Top 4-2 Serie A Transfers
4. Luis Muriel, Sevilla to Atalanta for €13 million. Acquiring a player like Muriel for a low price was a steal for a team like Atalanta. They are set to feature in their first Champions League ever next season and added a stellar piece to the most successful attack in the league last season. Muriel played for Fiorentina for half a season on loan last year and showed he can be successful in Italy. With players like Alejandro Gomez, Josip Ilicic, and fellow Colombian Duvan Zapata on his side, Muriel is set up to succeed. This was one of the earlier moves in the window and it was already regarded as one of the best Serie A transfers.
3. Kostas Manolas, Roma to Napoli for €32.4 million. The Greek centre back came at a hefty price for Napoli, but he will form one of the best defensive pairings in Italy alongside Kalidou Koulibaly. Manolas is one of the toughest players in the league and is surprisingly swift. Although Koulibaly is elite, he and Manolas have similar qualities. Furthermore, Manolas has reached the Champions League semi-finals before. Paired with a manager with hefty ambitions like Ancelotti, Napoli are finally making the Serie A transfers necessary to succeed in both the league and Europe.
2. Adrien Rabiot, Paris Saint-Germain to Juventus for free. This is another fantastic free transfer for Juventus. Rabiot has the potential to become a world-class talent and has already been playing at the highest level for years now. It’s surprising to realize that the Frenchman is still only 23-years-old. Rabiot’s best trait is his elite passing ability, which is a great addition to a midfield that heavily relies on Miralem Pjanic’s creativity.
Top Serie A Transfer
- Diego Godin, Atleticó Madrid to Inter Milan for free. The Uruguayan is at the twilight of his career but remains one of the best centre backs in the world. Inter showed last season that they weren’t quite ready for their Champions League return, but Godin’s leadership changes everything. Furthermore, he creates one of the best back threes in the football alongside Milan Skriniar and Stefan de Vrij. Poaching Godin for free from a very successful club in Atleticó was a complete steal for Inter.
