More questions than answers


in Serie A


SANDRO TONALI
(Brescia)
Seemingly destined for
Internazionale (although
championsJuventus may
get involved), Tonali looks
like an invaluable midfield
anchor, both in attack and
defence. Has been praised
by legends Marco Tardelli
and Andrea Pirlo.

VICTOR OSIMHEN
(Napoli)
Osimhen arrives in Naples
for a fee that could rise
to€80m, making him the
most expensive African
footballer ever. 2019-20
was Napoli’s lowest-scoring
season for ten years, but
the Nigeria striker should
help change that.

SOFYAN AMRABAT
(Fiorentina)
The tireless midfield
dynamo was the most
surprising element in the
already surprising Verona
during his spell on loan
from Club Brugge last
season. Fiorentina were
so impressed they paid
€20m–asmartpurchase.

NICOLO ZANIOLO
(Roma)
Long considered a great
hope for Italian football,
the 21-year-old is included
here because this will be
a delicate season for him
as he comes back from
a cruciate knee ligament
injury. So far, the signs
are very promising.

FEDERICO CHIESA
(Fiorentina)
Having opted to stay with
Fiorentina12 months ago,
22-year-old Chiesa is
widely expected to be
on the move next season.
With17 caps to his name,
he will be a key member
of Italy’s Euro 2020
squad next summer.
