With the window in Italy having slammed shut ahead of the new top-flight campaign, Goal looks at the new faces from whom big things are expected
Getty ImagesCristiano Ronaldo | Real Madrid to Juventus
Five-time Ballon d'Or winner, five time Champions League winner and a domestic title winner in England and Spain, perhaps the world's finest marksman decided now was the time for him to leave Santiago Bernabeu behind and try his hand at winning the Scudetto.
Ronaldo's move for around €100 million (£88m/$117m) sent shockwaves through the footballing world and he looks set to be the star attraction wherever he goes in Italy once the season gets under way.

Having been surprisingly left out of Belgium's World Cup squad, Nainggolan wasted no time in plotting his next career move as he swapped Stadio Olimpico for San Siro in a deal worth an initial €38m (£33.5m/$44m).
Having worked with Inter boss Luciano Spalletti at Roma he should need little time to settle in as he looks to bring some steel to the Nerazzurri's midfield.

With the full-back having impressed during a loan spell with Inter during the 2017-18 campaign, the Serie A champions decided Cancelo was the man to act as Stephan Lichtsteiner's long-term successor in Turin.
Though €40m (£35m/$46m) may seem a lot for a 24-year-old defender who has been capped just seven times by Portugal, the Bianconeri see a lot of potential in Cancelo and expect him to flourish alongside even better players.

After a horror debut season in west London and with both Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic added to the Chelsea squad, Bakayoko is in need of a fresh start with the Rossoneri.
Though he has initially signed on loan, the France international has the option to make the move permanent if Milan are willing to fork out €35m (£31m/$40m) at the end of the campaign.
