Aubameyang to Deportivo, Liberali to Como: July 15's deals

With the World Cup semi-finals as a backdrop, the 15 July market produced two official moves: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leaves Olympique Marseille for Deportivo La Coruña and Mattia Liberali becomes a Como player. On the negotiating front it is Serie A clubs who are busiest, from Lazio's interest in John Kennedy to Bologna chasing Alhassene and Fiorentina lining up two departures.

The most significant deal of the day comes from La Liga: Deportivo La Coruña have wrapped up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. According to Calciomercato.com, the Galicians reached an agreement with Olympique Marseille for a deal worth around €1.5 million, accompanied by the “here we go”. Aubameyang thus leaves the French club to start again in Spain.

In Serie A the official signing belongs to Como: Mattia Liberali is to all effects a new Como player. As Calciomercato.com reports, the Lombardy club signed him from Catanzaro by triggering his release clause.

Also in Serie A, Fiorentina are working on outgoings. According to Calciomercato.com, two sales are being prepared in the Viola camp: Valentini is heading to Grêmio for €3.5 million, while Moreno is close to Wrexham.

On the rumour front, Lazio are moving for John Kennedy: the Biancocelesti have shown interest in the 2002-born Fluminense forward, as reported by Calciomercato.com. Bologna, meanwhile, remain at the enquiry stage, with the same source linking them to Rahim Alhassene, a 2002-born left-back from Real Oviedo.

There is movement on the flanks too: Torino and Udinese are tracking free agent Kingsley Ehizibue, who — Calciomercato.com notes — is also wanted by Valencia and another club. All of this unfolds against the World Cup backdrop: after Spain's 2-0 win over France, England and Argentina meet tonight for the last place in the final.
