Stephan El Shaarawy has made a return to Serie A, signing with Genoa on a free transfer after leaving Roma upon the end of his contract on June 30. The former Italy international has been available on a free transfer after a 15-year absence from the club, where he came through the academy ranks before being sold to Milan in the summer of 2011. El Shaarawy's return to Genoa marks a significant move for the club, bringing back a player with a wealth of experience in the league.
Torino has also welcomed back a former captain, Ricardo Rodriguez, after his two-year spell in LaLiga with Real Betis. The 34-year-old left-back has put pen to paper on an initial one-year contract with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. Rodriguez's return to Torino is a significant boost for the club, bringing back a player with a deep understanding of the team's dynamics.
With the transfer window now closed, attention turns to the free agent market, with Roma reportedly considering options to provide Gian Piero Gasperini with a left-sided winger. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, former Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha is among the potential options, along with Raphael Guerreiro and Krepin Diatta.
