The transfer window in Italy opened with a bang last night in Serie A as guests assembled at the Grand Hotel in Rimini to mark the occasion.
Some of the biggest names in Italian football were there to discuss deals and talk to the media with plenty of trading possible between the Premier League and Serie A in the coming weeks and months.
