The 2024/25 Serie A season is up and running, bringing together the elite of Italian men’s football for another thrilling campaign.

Internazionale clinched their 20th Serie A title last season, finishing 19 points clear of city rivals AC Milan. However, the squad has undergone some significant changes during the offseason, and the road to retaining the title is expected to be challenging, with AC Milan, Juventus, and Napoli all gunning for glory.

Moreover, Bologna’s unexpected fifth-place finish last season, which earned them a Champions League berth, adds another layer of unpredictability to the upcoming campaign.

Serie A has also seen an influx of former Premier League stars for the upcoming season. Former Manchester United defender Raphaël Varane has signed with Cesc Fabregas’ Como on a free transfer, while David de Gea, also a former Red Devil, has made a return to top-flight football with Fiorentina.

In other transfers, Che Adams has joined Torino from Southampton, and Nuno Tavares has moved from Arsenal to Lazio on a season-long loan. Additionally, just yesterday, Spurs’ Emerson Royal completed a transfer to AC Milan for an undisclosed amount.

The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details this week and how to follow the matches.
