Alvaro Morata completed his transfer from Atletico Madrid to Milan today, while Marin Pongracic joined Fiorentina and Gaetano Castrovilli and Alberto Moreno made their moves.
The transfer session continues apace and there were several official deals signed, sealed and delivered on July 19.
The biggest was certainly the one that saw Milan activate the release clause in Morata’s contract with Atletico Madrid, paying €13m to bring the Spain international back to Italian football after his two previous experiences at Juventus.
Pongracic had been on the verge of a move to Stade Rennais when Fiorentina intercepted and convinced him to join them instead.
The Lecce and Croatia international defender underwent his medical and signed on for €15m today.
Meanwhile, former Fiorentina midfielder Castrovilli was able to join Lazio as a free agent after his contract at the Stadio Franchi ran down.
Another free agent was Alberto Moreno, who left Villarreal for a new Serie A experience with Como, signing a one-year deal with option to extend.
Torino brought in their new second-choice goalkeeper in the form of Alberto Paleari from Benevento.
Genoa sent left-back Lennart Czyborra to WSG Tirol in Austria on loan.
