Colombo and Sia shine at Genoa, Comuzzo in Fiorentina's sights, Pessina injured at Monza. Latest market moves and signals from summer friendlies.
Leonardo Colombo and Diego Sia
Good vibes from Genoa's training camp: Wednesday's session featured a family test that rewarded Colombo and Messias with goals. Early positive signs for those aiming to be ready for the 2030 World Cup cycle.
Pietro Comuzzo
Fiorentina's market chapter is not yet closed and the club continues to look ahead strategically. Paratici has earned the trust of the society and keeps working on young profiles like Comuzzo, aware that the 2030 World Cup cycle is already being mapped.
Jeff Ekhator
Genoa has broken through on the transfer market also thanks to Ekhator's financial backing. Still missing is the definitive signing that could make a real difference in terms of competitiveness in the years ahead.
Seydou Fini
Minute counts from the pre-season friendlies already tell a story: Allegri has his 'praetorians', those he truly counts on heading into the season that brings Italy closer to 2030. Hierarchies are defined this way too, in summer tests.
Massimo Pessina
Bad news for Monza: Pessina undergoes knee surgery and the club has decided not to intervene in the market to find a replacement. A choice that bets on project continuity after the midfielder's return.
