Transfer window report card: Grading the summer transfer business of Europe's top clubs

Serie A

Gonzalo Higuain has added firepower to the Italian champions

Juventus

The Turin side did some of their best business this summer as they have signed players which have taken the squad depth to an altogether different level. The Italian League is going to be a one-horse race for the next couple of years.

Dani Alves and Gonzalo Higuain have a lot of European experience under them, which will help Juventus in the Champions League. Pjaca is another young talented winger to watch out for.

In:

Gonzalo Higuain - £76 millionMarko Pjaca - £19.5 millionMiralem Pjanic - £27 millionMario Lemina - £8 millionMehdi Benatia - LoanJuan Cuadrado - LoanDani Alves - Free

Out:

Paul Pogba - £89 millionAlvaro Morata - £25 millionRoberto Pereyra - £11 millionMauricio Isla - £3.4 millionSimone Zaza - Loan

Grade : A+

Juventus have literally spent nothing and still have made their squad one of the best in Europe. Adding Benatia and Alves to an already solid defense has made Juventus' defence, the best in Europe.

Surely, Allegri's men can be said as one of the favourites for this year's Champions League.

Inter Milan

Joao Mario was Inter’s biggest capture this summer

It was made clear after Frank De Boer's appointment at the club that Inter are going to spend big this summer. They have emerged as Juventus' challengers for the Scudetto as AC Milan has been in decline and Napoli have gotten weaker by the departure of Gonzalo Higuain.

Inter have sold their fringe players this summer and have a solid squad strenghthened by the arrival of Inter’s marquee signing, Joao Mario from Sporting Lisbon.

In:

Joao Mario - £34 millionGabriel Barbosa - £23 million Antonio Candreva - £18 millionDodo - £5.5 millionCristian Ansaldi - £3 millionMarcelo Brozovic - £5 millionGianluca Caprari - £2.5 million

Out:

Cristiano Biraghi - £2 million Diego Laxalt - £2 millionJuan Jesus - Loan

Grade : B+

Inter have broken the bank to sign big players in Joao Mario and Candreva. Signing Gabigol, termed as next big thing to come from Brazil, is going to pay huge dividends for the Nerazzuris in the future. With this squad, Inter must return to the Champions Champions League next year.
