Speaking to Sky Sport, Spalletti acknowledged that the transfer market has evolved, saying, "The perfect market doesn’t exist any more, the possible market exists." He praised the club's directors for their ability to navigate the market and bring in players who fit the team's needs. "Our directors were very good at getting themselves into the right situations and adapting to what the market offered," he said. "We covered our needs by position and brought home several players."
Spalletti is optimistic about the impact of the new signings, including Nick Woltemade on loan from Newcastle and Pape Matar Sarr. He expects them to bring a new level of physicality and technical quality to the team, saying, "Having added players used to a fast, physical brand of football, where the time you have to think is much reduced, will take the level of our team higher." Woltemade is expected to work on his finishing, according to Spalletti.
