Before we dive into Serie A transfer news, I just want to report on a transfer from Serie B that as fairly important, which was Torino's Alessandro Rosina signing for Zenit St. Petersburg. Nobody expected a player with Rosina's talent to stay in Serie B, but the move to Russia seemed a little surprising, however it makes sense.

So the big transfer news in recent days is the deal between Inter and Barcelona to swap Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto'o. The deal is expected to be finished by the end of the week, and after a 4 hour meeting today it seems the stumbling block is the wage demands of Eto'o (wants 10 million euro a season, Inter want to give him only 8.

As we get further into July and teams get further into pre-season training, we see more and more transfers becoming official. The big clubs are pretty much at a stand still, but the smaller clubs are working out deals to improve on last season's finish and maybe turn a few heads next season.

We are now at the third volume of Transfer Tuesdays, and now we dig further into the transfer market. Most teams have started training again, and the new season is quickly taking shape. Now with all teams in pre-season training the sporting directors are moving frantically to make deals so that new signings can start pre-season training with the team.

Last week I posted the first edition of Transfer Tuesdays, where every week we round up what every Serie A club is doing on the transfer market. Today is the last day of June, which means tomorrow the transfer window is officially open and you'll see all the transfers made in the past few weeks become "official".
