Lunch Break: Favasuli joins Napoli, Mora signs for Roma
A blazing lunchtime on the market: Napoli seal Favasuli and send Badiashile for his medical, while Roma embrace Rodrigo Mora. Serie A is a waltz of official deals, with Manchester lighting up abroad.
Lunch kicks off with Napoli. Favasuli's arrival is official, welcomed by president De Laurentiis with a «Welcome Costantino» on X (Ottopagine). Meanwhile Badiashile is at Villa Stuart for his medical: the defender joins on loan with an option to buy from Chelsea, the reinforcement Allegri picked to shore up the backline (Corriere dello Sport, Eurosport).
In Rome it's Rodrigo Mora's day. The playmaker has signed for the Giallorossi after Roma and Porto moved closer in the past hours (Corriere della Sera, Il Riformista): a signing that gives Gasperini extra quality behind the strikers.
Serie A is a whirl of official statements. The Verona–Venezia swap is done: Montipò heads to the lagoon, Lella makes the reverse trip to Hellas (Calciomercato). Pisa wave goodbye to Aebischer, now at Union Berlin (SestaPorta.News), while Sassuolo have wrapped up Leysen, due for his medical (Gianluca Di Marzio). Rounding it out: De Martis to Parma on loan (SportParma), Odogu from Milan to Toulouse (Calciomercato) and Dawidowicz's return to Verona (Calcio Hellas).
In the background sits Juventus, who made Vicario's move from Tottenham official on a loan deal (Sportmediaset). And the Bianconeri aren't done: Audero's name has surfaced in the last hours for the goalkeeping department (Corriere della Sera).
Abroad, Manchester is on the move. Manchester United are closing in on Brighton's Baleba, with Koné drifting away (LaRoma24), while Manchester City are near Lille's Bouaddi (Corriere dello Sport). All this as Rodri's official switch to Barcelona, sealed yesterday, still echoes in La Liga (Sky Sport).
