It was another hot transfer window for Serie A clubs this summer as many Italian outfits went head-to-head with their European rivals in the market - fighting for the signature of the brightest superstars and aiming to acquire the finest deals.
Huge cash was spent and a lot of Serie A sides reinforced notable areas of their respective squads during the summer. The likes of AC Milan, Napoli, AS Roma, Sassuolo and Inter Milan all had a fantastic summer - signing a number of incredible superstars while they were preparing for the current campaign.
The Italian league has risen rapidly as Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid to complete a famous €100 million deal to join Juventus in the division - a move that has been the biggest transfer of the summer so far. Ronaldo's arrival has been welcomed by the entire Serie A, with the division promising to produce a lot of excitement in the presence of the winger this season.
However, the Portuguese will not be the only signing to entertain us in the Italian top flight this term, with other clubs also completing amazing transfers of their own. Therefore, let's take a look at 3 new recruits that will light up the division during the campaign:
#3 Steven N'zonzi
After narrowly missing out on the signing of Bordeaux superstar Malcom who ended up joining Barcelona this summer, Italian giants Roma decided to lure former Sevilla superstar, Steven N'zonzi to the Stadio Olimpico.
The midfielder chose to switch to the Serie A, having spent up to 3 years with the Andalusians and establishing himself as one of the finest holding midfielders in the Spanish top flight. A decent fee of €30 million was enough to convince the La Liga outfit to part ways with their star player, with the Frenchman eager to take on a new challenge in his career.
N'zonzi is a decent player with both physical and technical skills. He is strong in the air, plays with confidence and offers a lot of defensive contributions. Having shone in multiple leagues during his career, there is a great conviction that the midfielder will get things rolling in the Italian league this season.
#2 Gonzalo Higuain
The Serie A witnessed a number of big-name transfers this summer and one of them involved former Real Madrid and Napoli striker, Gonzalo Higuain - leaving Juventus to join fellow Italian outfit, AC Milan.
Blessed with so much talent and ruthless in front of goal, Higuain has been one of the finest attackers in the Italian top flight for the past few years, notably claiming the prestigious Capocannoniere award for the 2015/2016 campaign.
Apart from being a great goalscorer, the Argentine is also an ambitious superstar - just as he showed us during his stints with both Napoli and Juventus recently. With this amazing impact and incredible attitude, he will surely help his team this season.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo
The Serie A rose to its feet when Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo swapped Real Madrid for Juventus this summer. Having spent 9 successful years at Santiago Bernabeu, the attacker took on a fresh challenge in his career by switching to the Italian league.
Attracted by the love he received from the Bianconeri fans in a Champions League encounter during the previous campaign, Ronaldo finally sealed his dream move and he will continue lining up alongside the likes of Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic, Miralem Pjanic, Douglas Costa and Giorgio Chiellini at the Allianz Stadium this season.
After proving his incredible abilities in both the English Premier League and the La Liga, it is quite evident that the Portuguese will maintain his amazing influence in the Italian top flight as well.
As a matter of fact, the Real Madrid legend will be a great nightmare to opposition defenders in the division this term, with his sheer pace, decent positioning, incredible aerial strength and the ability to send the ball into the back of the net on a consistent basis.
