Serie A: from De Ligt to Koulibaly, exodus of champions

Some have been sold for gold, others have left on a free transfer, others have chosen to end their careers in very competitive and very profitable leagues. Serie A greets about forty players who have made history in recent years. Others would have marked the future with their deeds, but they chose abroad. This is the case of Gianluca SCAMACCA, talented Sassuolo striker finished for 42 million at West Ham, by Mattia SCREWS20-year-old center of Empoli, enlisted by Nizza for 15 million, of Lorenzo LUCCAbomber of Pisa who could not resist the call of Ajax and left for 10 million.

They could be followed by CASADEI, Inter’s jewel hunted by Chelsea. One of the few top players, Matthjis, leaves Italy DE LIGT, went to Bayern for 77 million, some less than what Juve had paid for him three years ago. The bianconeri have not managed to find an agreement with Atletico Madrid to still keep the very useful MORATA, who played 4 of the last 7 tournaments in Turin. They then greet on a free transfer RAMSEY and, after 17 seasons, captain CHIELLINI emigrated to Los Angeles. Much further north there is an Italian colony in Toronto: easy money, commitment related to the basis of the ‘choice of life’ by Lorenzo INSIGNE, Domenico CRISCITO and Federico BERNARDESCHI.

Many goodbyes also for De Laurentiis’ Napoli. Apart from Insigne, KOULIBALY agreed to move after 11 years and went to Chelsea for 38 million, while he could not find the agreement to continue the super goalscorer MERTENSflew yesterday to Istanbul with the former viola TORREIRA to play with Galatasaray. Fabian’s adventure also closed RUIZ, in the process of signing up for the PSG. Among the free agents they also went away HOSPINA And GHOULAM.

Many lockers also emptied in Appiano Gentile. Inter say goodbye KOLAROVretired, and would have gladly detained PERISIC who on a free transfer reached Conte at Tottenham. It took 3.5 million severance pay to get rid of instead of VIDAL, half of what Alexis will need SANCHEZ which will go to Marseille.

A departure illustrates, but has been announced at length, also for Milan: after Calhanoglu and Donnarumma, the Rossoneri also lost Frank on a free transfer KESSIE, moved to Barcelona. Many departures in Lazio as well: free Luiz FELIPE, Lucas SHE GOES, REINA And STRAKOSHA while Tare was good at cashing in 11 million for two reserves like MURIQI And VAVRO.

The work of his neighbor Thiago Pinto was also fruitful, in addition to the revenue transactions, he collected 15 million for VERETOUT. Loans have not been renewed for SERGIO OLIVEIRA And MAITRAND-NILES. The same thing did Fiorentina for TORREIRA And PIATEK. The free CALLEJON leaves Italy after 9 years, joining Granada. The violets then gave in PULGAR at the Flamengo.

Bologna made cash by selling the defender THEATE at the Rennes, the outside H CALLEJON ICKEY al Brentford and the midfielder SVANBERG to Wolfsburg. Udinese collected 20 million for MOLINA to Atletico Madrid, he is also giving up UDOGIE at Tottenham. Sampdoria settled for 3 per THORSBY at Union Berlin. The Sampdorian also closes their Italian parenthesis YOSHIDA and the Friulian STRYGEN LARSEN.
