It has been a busy day in Serie A with several transfers completed, including Simon Sohm to Fiorentina and Abdoulaye Ndiaye coming in at Parma.

Which official transfers were announced in Serie A on August 4, 2025?

Football Italia takes a look at every confirmed move in Italy’s top flight today.

Parma in and out

The Stadio Tardini was the centre of attention today, with one player coming in and another going out.

Sohm headed for the exit and completed his €15m plus €1m in add-ons transfer to Fiorentina, with the Ducali keeping a cut of the future sale fee.

Meanwhile, Parma brought in central defender Ndiaye from Troyes, with an agreement believed to be worth €6.5m plus bonuses.

Elsewhere, Roma have sold Ola Solbakken to Nordsjaelland after a series of loan experiences, bringing in a fee of circa €1m.

Bologna also sold defender Martin Erlic to FC Mitdjylland, again in the Danish Super League, for a reported €5m.

Simon Sohm has officially completed his transfer from Parma to Fiorentina and assures his aim is to ‘qualify for the Champions League.’

The midfielder had his medical tests this morning after the clubs reached an agreement for the fee.

It is believed to have cost €15m plus a further €1m in add-ons, while Parma can retain a five per cent cut of any future sale.

The negotiations had been dragging on for the best part of a month and there was finally a breakthrough last week.

Sohm eager to begin Fiorentina adventure

“It is a beautiful city, I really like the Viola Park complex too, so I am very happy,” he told the official club website.

“Serie A is a very strong league, I already experienced that last season. Now I want to take another step up and Fiorentina is a great club where I can grow. I want to help the team, and also grow individually.”

Sohm was rather lonely at the training ground in Florence, because the squad is already in England for their pre-season tour, where they were beaten in a friendly by Leicester City at the weekend.

“My idea is to qualify for the Champions League and tomorrow I’ll get to meet my new teammates.”

The Switzerland international had been at Parma since his €6.4m move from FC Zurich in October 2020.

That means he helped the Ducali to promotion from Serie B and then to remain in the top flight.

Last season, Sohm contributed four goals in 37 Serie A appearances for the club.

Parma have officially purchased Abdoulaye Ndiaye from Troyes in a deal worth €6.5m and are close to the sale of Dennis Man to PSV Eindhoven for €8m.

The Ducali welcomed Ndiaye this morning to undergo his medical and he then put pen to paper on the contract until June 2030.

It is believed to be an agreement worth €6.5m plus bonuses.

He is a 23-year-old central defender who has one senior cap for Senegal and had been in France since 2020.

After Olympique Lyonnais and Bastia, the centre-back joined Troyes for €3.5m in 2023, impressing last season while on loan at Brest.

Ndiaye in for Parma, Man out

Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia report that Parma are very close to the sale of Romanian international striker Man to PSV Eindhoven.

As reported previously, the agreement is in progress and should be concluded for circa €8m plus add-ons.

He turns 27 later this month and had been at the Stadio Tardini since leaving Steaua Bucharest in a deal worth €12.6m in January 2021.

Last season, Man made 34 appearances for Parma, scoring four goals and providing five assists.

Despite the reports of other clubs taking an interest, Ipswich Town were the only real destination for Jens Cajuste, who will leave Napoli on loan with option to buy becoming an obligation with promotion.

We had reported exclusively on July 7 that the negotiations were in progress with the English club where he had already spent last season on loan.

Cajuste was always heading for Ipswich Town

Although over the last few days the reports have swirled around of other sides making an approach, including one from the Saudi Pro League, the fact remains that Ipswich Town were the only ones to make those concrete steps to sign him.

Now we are down to the details to complete the transfer, which will be a paid loan at circa €1.3m, with an option to buy at the end of the season.

That can become an obligation if the team is promoted back into the Premier League.

Napoli paid €11.5m to buy Cajuste from Stade Reims in August 2023 and he made 35 competitive appearances for the club, just 16 of them in the starting XI.

Milan have officially sent Christian Comotto to Spezia on loan, but there is still no all clear from Warren Bondo for Cremonese.

As predicted, the Rossoneri have loaned 17-year-old midfielder Comotto to Spezia until the end of the season, having previously extended his contract to June 2028.

There is no option to make this move permanent.

Milan frustrated by Bondo refusal

Meanwhile, Milan are still waiting for Bondo to accept a similar structure for the loan to newly promoted Serie A side Cremonese.

It would be a dry loan, meaning no option to buy, with Cremonese covering his entire salary and perhaps even adding a few bonuses in too.

However, the former Monza midfielder is still not open to accepting the transfer and it remains to be seen if the growing pressure will make a dent in his position.

Set to turn 22 next month, Bondo cost €10m plus up to another €5m in add-ons to sign from Monza in February 2025.

He made only five competitive appearances in the Rossoneri jersey for a total 164 minutes of football.

Roma have officially sent Saud Abdulhamid to RC Lens on loan with an option to buy for a reported fee of €2-3m.

The 26-year-old right-back was presented by his new club with a video inspired by The Simpsons.

He had only joined Roma a year ago from Al-Hilal for €2.5m, but struggled to get regular playing time at the Stadio Olimpico.

In one full season, he made just eight competitive appearances, nonetheless managing to score one goal and provide one assist.

Saud Abdulhamid leaves Roma for Lens

According to reports in France, the transfer is a loan with option to buy at the end of the season.

The option is believed to be worth circa €2-3m.

Roma had been in advanced negotiations to send Abdulhamid to Toulouse FC instead, but they could not make the squad work with non-EU slots.

He became the first ever Saudi Arabian player to feature in Serie A.

Juan Cuadrado explains why he decided to sign for newly-promoted Serie A side Pisa, insisting he has a ‘dream of battling for a place at the World Cup’ with Colombia.

The veteran was a free agent after his contract with Atalanta was allowed to expire on June 30 and he had several proposals, but decided to remain in Serie A.

He spoke to Sky Sport Italia this afternoon as he arrived for the medical tests, preparing to sign a one-year deal.

Cuadrado explains Pisa decision

“I am ready for this great challenge, I am excited to continue my career in a country that is basically home,” Cuadrado told Sky Sport Italia.

The 37-year-old will be working with coach Alberto Gilardino, and joined by Bologna midfielder Michel Aebischer, who is joining on loan with an obligation to buy.

Although he made 32 competitive appearances for Atalanta last season, only nine of those were from the start.

“I spoke to the club, the coach, I also have the dream of battling for a place at the World Cup. I hope to get to play more regularly, they convinced me, and I said yes straight away,” continued Cuadrado.

“I feel very good, very strong, I think the coach and staff will help me reach my peak. When I am 100 per cent fit, I can still give a lot to this team.”

His former clubs include Lecce, Fiorentina, Udinese, Chelsea, Juventus and Inter, amassing 395 Serie A career appearances, with 43 goals and 69 assists.

Cagliari have officially signed Semih Kilicsoy from Besiktas, on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season for a reported total €14m fee.

The striker flew out for his medical tests on Friday and put pen to paper on the contract this afternoon.

It is believed to be a loan for one season at a cost of €1m, with an option to make it permanent for a further €12m, plus €2m in possible add-ons.

Besiktas are also thought to retain a 20 per cent cut of the future sale fee.

Cagliari coup with Kilicsoy

Kilicsoy is considered a huge talent in Turkish football, who turns 20 later this month and can play as a centre-forward or in a wider role.

Despite still being only 19 years of age, he already has four senior caps for Turkey playing under coach Vincenzo Montella, and scored five goals in six games for his country at Under-21 level, where he was the captain.

He made his Super Lig debut at the age of 17 and scored his first goal in July 2023.

As expected, Turkish talent Semih Kilicsoy has arrived in Italy for his Cagliari medical, ready to complete the €14m transfer from Besiktas.

The reports were all confirmed, that he was waiting to participate in last night’s Champions League preliminary round tie with Shakhtar Donetsk.

He was given the all-clear to fly out for his medical and landed on Italian soil this evening.

Kilicsoy an exciting buy for Cagliari

It is going to be a loan deal at a cost of €1m, with an option to make it permanent for a further €12m, plus €2m in potential add-ons.

Besiktas are also expected to retain a 20 per cent cut of the future sale fee.

This is quite the coup for Cagliari, because Kilicsoy is one of the brightest talents in Turkish football.

He turns 20 in a couple of weeks and can play as a centre-forward or in a wider attacking role.

The teenager scored an impressive five goals in six caps for Turkey at Under-21 level, and already has four senior appearances under his belt.

Roma have reportedly agreed the sale of Ola Solbakken to Nordsjaelland, two and a half years since his move from Bodo/Glimt.

According to Il Tempo and Bold.dk, the player has already flown out to Norway to complete and medical and the two clubs are exchanging documents this evening.

This had been an ill-fated transfer to the Stadio Olimpico as a free agent from Bodo/Glimt in January 2023.

Solbakken flopped for Roma

Solbakken made only 15 competitive appearances in the Giallorossi jersey, where he scored one goal and provided two assists.

He went out on a series of loan spells to Olympiacos in Greece, Japanese club Urawa Reds, and spent last season in Serie A with relegated Empoli.

Under contract with Roma until June 2027, this will nonetheless represent a profit for them, as he had arrived for free.

It is going to be a permanent transfer and therefore get him off the Roma books.

This is a return home for the Norway international, who has 11 senior caps for his country, able to play on the right, left or in a more central attacking role.

Napoli have finally completed the sale of Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray for a fee of €75m, with 10 per cent of profit from the sell-on fee going to the Partenopei and a salary reaching €21m per season.

The saga had been dragging on for weeks, with the player determined to remain in Istanbul after a successful loan spell last season.

This saw him turn down far more lucrative proposals from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal and push Napoli to accept different terms.

He flew in for a medical on Wednesday.

How much Osimhen cost Galatasaray

The €75m release clause expired, so this is not activating that, but still paying the full €75m sum.

It is reported this will be spread out between €40m now and a further €35m by the end of the 2025-26 season.

A formal statement from Galatasaray confirms they are paying €75m and that 10 per cent of the profit from a future sale will go to Napoli.

This would appear to be only 10 per cent of the profit and not 10 per cent of the full sell-on fee.

Osimhen has signed a four-year contract that is worth a confirmed €15m per season net salary, plus a loyalty bonus of €1m and an image rights fee of €5m.

Napoli had purchased Osimhen from LOSC for a fee that was calculated to be worth €78.9m including cash and player exchanges.

In a genuine surprise, former Juventus, Inter and Atalanta winger Juan Cuadrado has reportedly agreed to join Serie A newcomers Pisa as a free agent.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, the Colombia international has accepted terms for a one-year contract.

He turned 37 in May and will therefore be reaching the age of 38 when the season comes to a close.

Valencia had also been interested, but the player wanted to continue his career in Serie A.

Cuadrado a surprising new arrival for Pisa

Pisa earned promotion by finishing second in Serie B behind Sassuolo last term and are now under the guidance of coach Alberto Gilardino.

The wide forward was a free agent after his one-year contract with Atalanta was allowed to expire in June.

Cuadrado has been in Italian football since leaving Independiente Medellin for Udinese in 2009.

Going on to represent Lecce, Fiorentina, Chelsea and Juventus, he moved to Inter for free in 2023 and contributed to their Scudetto victory.

He then joined Atalanta for free and somewhat struggled for regular playing time with La Dea.

In his career, Cuadrado has amassed 395 Serie A appearances, scoring 43 goals and contributing 69 assists.

There were also 67 Champions League matches, 19 in the Europa League and 36 in the Coppa Italia.

Como have officially sold forward Gabriel Strefezza to Greek side Olympiacos for a fee reported to be around €8m.

The 28-year-old had already flown out to undergo his medical tests over the last couple of days and put pen to paper this afternoon on a contract to June 2029.

Strefezza leaves Como and Italian football

Although Brazilian, he had spent practically his entire playing career in Italy, starting from the SPAL youth team in 2016 after leaving Corinthians.

He went on to represent Juve Stabia, Cremonese, Lecce and joined Como on loan in January 2024, making it permanent six months later for €3.5m.

Strefezza helped Como earn promotion into Serie A, where he contributed six goals and four assists in 37 appearances last season.

Thank you for everything @15Speto pic.twitter.com/Cuk4Z5ictv

— Como1907 (@Como_1907) July 31, 2025

Como also announced the official loan with option to buy of midfielder Luca Mazzitelli to Cagliari.

He had spent the last six months on loan at Sassuolo in Serie B.

Como have officially signed defender Jacobo Ramon from Real Madrid on a permanent transfer, in a deal similar to that of Nico Paz, with several buy-back clauses.

The central defender turned 20 in January and is a product of the Real Madrid youth academy, moving all the way up the various teams.

Ramon has represented Spain at Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 levels.

“Jacobo is a young player with great prospects,” Como coach Cesc Fabregas told the club website.

“He comes from one of the most competitive youth academies in the world, where he has been able to hone his skills, and we are confident he will have a very positive impact on our team.”

Why Ramon is owned by both Como and Real Madrid

A statement from Real Madrid merely confirmed that they had ‘reached an agreement for the transfer’ of the player to Como, but gave no further details.

The reality is a little more complicated, as Como are expected to pay circa €2.5m plus add-ons for his signature.

However, Real Madrid are owed 50 per cent of any future sale fee and have three different buy-back options in case they want to bring him to the Bernabeu.

This is the same structure that allowed Como to sign Nico Paz, as he had an option for Real Madrid to recall for €8m in June 2025.

That rises to €9m in 2026 and €10m in 2027 before it expires completely.

This complicated system allows Como to develop the players by giving them regular time in Serie A, but also for Real Madrid to potentially reap the rewards at a later date.

In the past, it would’ve been called a co-ownership deal, but those formulas were banned several years ago.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the paperwork has finally been completed, so Victor Osimhen will have his Galatasaray medical on Wednesday for the €75m move from Napoli.

The striker is expected to land in Istanbul on Wednesday evening so that he can have the necessary tests on Thursday and sign the contract.

The city is very familiar to the Nigeria international, who spent last season on loan with Galatasaray, scoring 37 goals and providing eight assists in 41 competitive appearances.

He was determined to make the move a permanent one, turning down more lucrative offers from Al-Hilal.

Osimhen only wanted Galatasaray

Napoli would not budge on the terms of the deal, demanding the full €75m figure of the release clause, even if it is not technically being activated.

Galatasaray agreed to pay €40m upfront and the remaining €35m by the end of 2026.

The Partenopei should reportedly also be entitled to up to €5m in bonuses and retain a 10 per cent sell-on clause.

There is also crucially an anti-Serie A clause included, preventing Osimhen from joining one of their competitors within the next two years.

Although that agreement was reached on July 20, it is only now that the financial guarantees have been signed and counter-signed.

There were 11 completed transfers in Serie A on Tuesday July 29, including Canadian Ismael Koné to Sassuolo, a double Cremonese deal, and Zakaria Aboukhlal moving to Torino.

Which official transfers were announced in Serie A on July 29, 2025?

Football Italia takes a look at every confirmed move in Italy’s top flight today.

Aboukhlal starts new adventure at Torino

A fresh new talent coming to Serie A is Zakaria Aboukhlal, who arrives on a permanent transfer from Toulouse FC in a deal worth €8m plus €2m in add-ons.

The Morocco international will not be taking up a non-EU slot in the squad, because he also has a Dutch passport.

Koné comes to Sassuolo

Sassuolo made a surprising splash on the transfer market by securing Ismael Koné from Olympique Marseille.

It is a loan deal worth €2.5m with option to buy for a further €10m, becoming an obligation if they maintain their Serie A status at the end of the season.

Marseille are also expected to retain a cut of the sell-on fee for the Canada international.

Another Canadian on the move is Tajon Buchanan, but he has left Inter for the permanent transfer to Villarreal at a cost of circa €9m plus a 20 per cent cut of the sell-on fee.

Cremonese achieved a double swoop with Lecce captain Federico Baschirotto arriving for €3m, while Alessio Zerbin is on loan from Napoli with obligation to buy in case of Serie A safety for €2m plus €1m add-ons.

Andrea Fulignati from Cremonese to Empoli (loan)

Como have agreed the sale of forward Gabriel Strefezza to Olympiacos in a deal worth circa €8m, confirm multiple sources.

The rumours had already emerged yesterday that an agreement was imminent, with Alfredo Pedullà noting that it was the player who pushed for this transfer, whereas Como had been content to keep him.

The opportunity to play in the Champions League for the first time in his career was a strong draw.

Strefezza wanted Olympiacos challenge after Como

Now Sky Sport Italia, Fabrizio Romano and more all confirm that the full details have been worked out and Strefezza will fly out for his medical in Greece.

He will then sign a four-year contract believed to be worth €1.3m per season in wages.

The 28-year-old Brazilian spent practically his entire career in Italy, leaving Corinthians to join the SPAL academy in 2016.

He went on to represent SPAL, Juve Stabia, Cremonese and Lecce, moving to Como in 2024 first on loan and then on a permanent transfer.

An attacking winger, he amassed 123 Serie A appearances with 16 goals and 10 assists, along with a further 103 games in Serie B.

Cremonese have officially signed two new players today, bringing back Federico Baschirotto from Lecce and securing Alessio Zerbin from Napoli.

They were the last club to secure their place in Serie A for this season, earning promotion via the play-offs to join Sassuolo and Pisa in stepping up from Serie B.

Baschirotto and Zerbin come to Cremonese

This is a very special move for Baschirotto, who came up through their youth academy and left in 2021, then made his impact in Serie A in 2022 with Lecce.

After 112 Serie A appearances for the Salentini, where he also became their captain, he opted for a return to where it all began in Cremona.

This is a permanent transfer, reported to be worth circa €3m.

As for Napoli winger Zerbin, it is a loan with obligation to buy at the end of the season if certain conditions are met.

The 26-year-old made the loan move for €250,000, while Cremonese are set to pay €2m plus €1m in add-ons if they manage to secure their Serie A status.

Torino have officially completed the purchase of Zakaria Aboukhlal from Toulouse FC in a deal reported to be worth €10m.

The player was already in the city of Turin yesterday for his medical tests and finalised the transfer this afternoon.

He put pen to paper on a four-year contract that runs to June 2029.

The format of the transfer, according to Sky Sport Italia, is €8m plus €2m in easy to achieve add-ons.

Aboukhlal brings talent to Torino

An attacking wide forward, he turned 25 in February and was born and raised in the Netherlands, but switched to play senior football for Morocco and now has 22 caps.

His contract with Toulouse was down to the final 12 months, so Torino were able to snap up the talent for just €10m.

Aboukhlal scored seven goals and provided four assists in 26 Ligue 1 games for Toulouse last season.

His previous clubs included Willem II, PSV Eindhoven and AZ Alkmaar.

Toulouse FC saluted his departure with a video of his best moments for the club.

Merci @ZAboukhlal
