AC Milan faces a defensive headache as their pre-season tour kicks off with a severe full-back shortage. Coach Max Allegri is forced to improvise, with Alexis Saelemaekers and Tommaso Pobega potentially filling unfamiliar roles amidst ongoing transfer struggles.
Former Lazio captain and Italy international Ciro Immobile, 35, has officially joined Bologna on a one-year deal with an option. After a productive year with Besiktas in Turkey, the prolific striker makes his highly anticipated return to Serie A.
Cagliari is keen on Napoli's Michael Folorunsho for their midfield, with talks already underway. While also targeting AC Milan's Tommaso Pobega, they face competition from Bologna, who hold an advantage. Fabio Pisacane has been promoted to Cagliari's senior squad.
