&lt;p&gt;The summer transfer market is coming to its final phase, and with only 15 days until the 2025/26 Serie A season begins, clubs are going full force to try and get deals done. From targeted purchases, to cheap buys and movement within the league: August is full of high-intensity negotiations. While Cremonese and Sassuolo stole the headlines towards the end of July, Pisa has been getting the most attention at the beginning of August.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three experienced reinforcements for Pisa&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has been an eventful week for the Nerazzurri who first of all sealed the signing of &lt;strong&gt;Michel Aebischer&lt;/strong&gt;, the 1997-born Swiss midfielder departing from &lt;strong&gt;Bologna&lt;/strong&gt;. The former Young Boys star leaves the Rossoblù after four seasons in Reggio Emilia. He was Thiago Motta’s protégé, who appreciated his tactical capabilities and versatility in midfield, however his game time reduced heavily under Italiano (only 14 games all season), added to an injury that kept him out for three months. Pisa have secured themselves an experienced midfielder and a &lt;strong&gt;Swiss international &lt;/strong&gt;who is ready to get back to his best at the very top level.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;8094a1c8-1463-4e47-9ad8-9709cd6a41d5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8094a1c8-1463-4e47-9ad8-9709cd6a41d5&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e44b5d19-dc6a-4385-8487-fd74694a2d67/Sito_HERO_cuadrado.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;8094a1c8-1463-4e47-9ad8-9709cd6a41d5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8094a1c8-1463-4e47-9ad8-9709cd6a41d5&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;And to add to the excitement of returning to the top division, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/pisa-what-a-steal-it-s-cuadrado-74gd3i7&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juan Cuadrado&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, once of Juventus, has chosen to wear black and blue for the third season in a row, deciding to get back into the game away from the title-challenging clubs, and to once again show his quality in Italy’s top division.

The 2001-born Swiss midfielder learned to play in Zurich before then spending the last five years with the Gialloblu (three of which in Serie B) making up for a total of 155 appearances, of which &lt;strong&gt;55 in Serie A and also five goals&lt;/strong&gt;.

It will be El Cholito’s sixth different team in Serie A, a competition that he has already scored &lt;strong&gt;87 career goals in&lt;/strong&gt;. With only two league goals in his last two seasons, the 30-year-old Argentinian forward is looking for the best way to get back to his golden days. Torino, expecting the return of Duván Zapata, are therefore strengthening an attacking line that is looking to get back to clinical ways in front of goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan, Jashari is official&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;6d49b6ca-01cb-4a92-8a54-9c1faba3399f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6d49b6ca-01cb-4a92-8a54-9c1faba3399f&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8c0bde70-8253-47cf-91c6-3c199542cab5/Sito_HERO_jashari.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;6d49b6ca-01cb-4a92-8a54-9c1faba3399f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6d49b6ca-01cb-4a92-8a54-9c1faba3399f&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;After long negotiations, &lt;strong&gt;Club Brugge &lt;/strong&gt;let go of &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/jashari-joins-milan-vision-and-midfield-future-74gcg72&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aardon Jashari&lt;/strong&gt;, and he is officially a Rossonero&lt;/a&gt;. The promising 23-year-old Swiss midfielder, crowned the best player and best young player of the Jupiler Pro League last season, is heading to AC Milan with high expectations. Together with new signings Ricci and Modrić, and Fofana and Loftus-Cheek, he is going to complete Allegri’s strengthened midfield. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Udinese’s low-cost gamble in Eastern Europe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;94f82ba7-3a49-4c9d-b95a-dc51978a9099&#34; data-image-id=&#34;94f82ba7-3a49-4c9d-b95a-dc51978a9099&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/6398520e-60dc-410b-a00f-f4f7dbb8bb9a/Sito_HERO_udi.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;94f82ba7-3a49-4c9d-b95a-dc51978a9099&#34; data-image-id=&#34;94f82ba7-3a49-4c9d-b95a-dc51978a9099&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese have once again gone shopping in Eastern Europe, looking for a targeted reinforcement in line with the needs of Kosta Runjaić’s squad. &lt;strong&gt;Jakub Piotrowski&lt;/strong&gt; is a Polish midfielder with a knack for scoring goals, coming from Ludogorets. He is tall, tenacious and motivated (having grown up helping in his parent’s farming business back in Poland) and fully embodies “Udinese DNA” made of seriousness, resistance and hunger to impress. He is internationally known, boasting great football experience, even in European cups. His arrival guarantees versatility (in defensive midfield, more attacking, and as a playmaker) and personality: these are three precious assets for the Bianconeri midfield ahead of the new season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their new defender comes from even more eastwards: &lt;strong&gt;Saba Goglichidze&lt;/strong&gt;, the 2004-born Georgian, has joined Udiense after a year as a regular starter for &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt; (34 appearances).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Verona, Cagliari and Como’s movements:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Hellas Verona have replaced an outgoing with a new signing. &lt;strong&gt;Daniele Ghilardi&lt;/strong&gt; has decided to head to &lt;strong&gt;Roma &lt;/strong&gt;after a positive year with Verona. The Azzurrino stood out at the U21 EUROs, and he has taken the opportunity to join the Giallorossi rotation at just 22, excited to grow under Gasperini. Coming back, on the other hand, is &lt;strong&gt;Domagoj Bradarić&lt;/strong&gt;, who convinced the club to keep him after making 28 appearances and scoring one goal out on loan with Salernitana last season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cagliari &lt;/strong&gt;have turned to bolstering their attack: &lt;strong&gt;Semih Kılıçsoy &lt;/strong&gt;is heading to Sardinia. The 2005-born centre-forward made 85 appearances and scored 16 goals (including the Europa and Conference League) with &lt;strong&gt;Beşiktaş&lt;/strong&gt;. The Sardinian club is looking to add freshness and talent to the front line, through summer signing Borelli, and current young talent like Piccoli and Luvumbo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, Como are constantly active in the market and they have announced the &lt;strong&gt;signing &lt;/strong&gt;of Brazilian &lt;strong&gt;goalkeeper&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Henrique Lopes Menke&lt;/strong&gt;, on loan from Sport Club Internacional. He is an assured member of the Brazil U20s who won the South American Championship. The 2007-born shot-stopper will be looking to prove himself and to challenge for Jean Butez’s starting spot.&lt;/p&gt;
