The summer transfer window in the Italian Serie A officially closed on September 1st - accordingly, the list of "most expensive deals" for the 2025/2026 season has also been compiled. Below is a humorous story for fans about the 5 most expensive transfers this summer in Serie A, as well as their tactical significance and intrigues.
- AC Milan's offensive rebranding: two equally expensive songs. The Rossoneri extended their hand to both creative and universal profiles simultaneously to fill the front line with new energy - breaking through the opposition in the team's pressure-driven game, increasing the risk in deep creative and standard "second-rate" situations.
- Juventus added speed to the wings: Conceição - dynamics, Nico Gonzalez - decision-making speed. In the new system, the fast flanks are expected to be combined with the fast combinations in the center.
"Napoli is looking for stability in the center: Bökema is designed for positioning from the rear, ensuring balance in the defense at the exit from the pressing of the upper line.
Top 5 most expensive transfers (Series A, summer - 2025/2026):
1. Christopher Nkunku - from Chelsea to AC Milan, €37 million
2. Ardon Yashari - from Club Brugge to AC Milan, €36 million
3. Francisco Conceição - from Porto to Juventus, €32 million
4. Sam Buckema - from Bologna to Napoli, €31 million
5. Nico Gonzalez - from Fiorentina to Juventus, €28 million
What can be expected?
- "Milan": Nkunku - as a midfield/second striker hybrid, will be the key to tiki-taka and vertical transitions; Yashari - confidence in tempo control, exit from pressing, and long line passes.
- Juventus: Conceicao's long raids and 1x1 turns, Nico's intelligent movements, and the quality of subsequent passes - make prediction difficult in attack.
- Napoli: Byokema rounded the back line, increased safety and accuracy of the first pass in build-up.
In short: the transfer window closed, but the intrigue has just begun - in September, tactical plans work, not clock counts. Who can turn high investments into money (points) faster? The field gives the answer.
