Serie A: change is scary

The 2020-2021 Serie A has barely fallen the curtain that transalpine football is already choosing to chain the twists and turns: Gennaro Gattuso said ciao in Naples to join Fiorentina, when Andrea Pirlo should be kindly released by Massimiliano Allegri at the head of Juventus.

Under Chinese ownership, the club ended up in the clutches of the vulture fund Elliott management.
