On Tuesday, July 29, a total of eleven official transfers were finalized within Serie A. Key player movements included Canadian midfielder Ismael Koné joining Sassuolo, a double acquisition for Cremonese, and Zakaria Aboukhlal`s move to Torino.
Let`s review all the confirmed player movements in Italy`s top football league announced on this date.
Aboukhlal Commences New Journey at Torino
A notable new talent arriving in Serie A is Zakaria Aboukhlal, who completed a permanent transfer from Toulouse FC. The deal is valued at €8 million, with an additional €2 million in potential add-ons.
The Morocco international will not occupy a non-EU player slot in the squad, as he also holds a Dutch passport.
Koné Arrives at Sassuolo
Sassuolo made a significant move in the transfer market by securing Ismael Koné from Olympique Marseille. This is a loan agreement worth €2.5 million, with an option to purchase for an additional €10 million. This option becomes an obligation if Sassuolo retains its Serie A status at the end of the current season.
Marseille is also anticipated to retain a percentage of any future sell-on fee for the Canadian international.
Another Canadian player on the move is Tajon Buchanan, who has departed Inter for a permanent transfer to Villarreal. This deal is reported to be worth approximately €9 million, along with a 20 percent share of any future sell-on fee.
Cremonese successfully completed a double acquisition: Lecce captain Federico Baschirotto joined for €3 million, while Alessio Zerbin arrived on loan from Napoli. Zerbin`s loan includes an obligation to buy for €2 million plus €1 million in add-ons, contingent on Cremonese maintaining their Serie A position.
