Developments: 2. In late July 2026 several Italian clubs detailed their preseason preparations. Genoa announced a two‑year extension for defender Stefano Sabelli and stressed the goal of forging a strong group immediately, while players such as Sabelli and striker Lorenzo Colombo voiced optimism about blending veterans with younger talent to chase at least forty points in Serie A. A week later Modena Calcio reported progress in its second week of camp under Daniele Galloppa. After bringing in twelve signings, the squad remained incomplete up front, but the team showed courage in a 1‑0 friendly loss to Cagliari and highlighted prospects like Pedro Mendes, Kleis Bozhanaj and Giuseppe Ambrosino. On the same day, Triestina’s director of sport Daniele Delli Carri confirmed the first‑team roster had reached roughly eighty percent of its target after sixteen new registrations began training at Campo Comunale Zaccaria. The club still seeks additional signings to achieve a full‑strength squad before the season starts. Across these clubs, the emphasis remains on completing rosters, integrating newcomers, and attaining competitive readiness ahead of league kick‑offs. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-28: Triestina squad reaches 80% of target, DS Delli Carri confirms Triestina's roster is 80% complete after recent signings, DS Daniele Delli Carri says, with more players still needed before the new season. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/modena-football-club-prepares-for-season-under-daniele-galloppa ### 2026-07-20: Genoa aims to build strong squad in preseason, players voice optimism Genoa defender Stefano Sabelli and striker Lorenzo Colombo say the team is focused on forming a strong squad in preseason, aiming for 40 points, with coach Daniele De Rossi praised. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/genoa-aims-to-build-strong-squad-in-preseason-players-voice-optimism --- Cite as: Italian clubs preseason roster building.
