Italian clubs summer transfer activity (2026)

Overview

The 2026 Italian summer transfer window has seen intensified spending by major clubs following failures to qualify for the Champions League. AC Milan and Juventus have emerged as the primary spenders in the market.

AC Milan, under new head coach Ruben Amorim, has invested €165.05 million in seven new players. This includes the €74 million acquisition of Goncalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain and a €65 million deal for Diego Moreira from Strasbourg. Consequently, AC Milan’s gross wage bill is projected to rise to €103.14 million, a 16.3% increase from the previous season, placing them fourth in the league for gross salaries behind Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli.

Juventus has also undergone significant restructuring, appointing Giovanni Carnevali as CEO to replace Daniele Comolli. The club has spent €164.35 million on nine players, highlighted by the €50 million signing of Randal Kolo Muani and the acquisition of Lois Openda. Other notable arrivals at Juventus include Nick Woltemade and Pape Matar Sarr.

Other Serie A activity includes Inter Milan acquiring Curtis Jones from Liverpool and John Stones from Manchester City, while Napoli has secured Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United.

Overall, Serie A clubs demonstrated significant financial activity, with combined spending exceeding €1.16 billion. This total surpassed the combined outlays of La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1, although it remained well below the spending of Premier League teams. This high-volume activity follows a broader strategic trend in the league toward youth development and the use of “national blocks” to establish playing philosophies.
