? Genoa struggling to rebuild after summer exits
Genoa’s transfer strategy this summer was built on free deals and loan signings, including the addition of experienced midfielder Stanciu. While the club managed to generate funds through player sales, the squad quality has clearly declined.
Key defensive leaders and last season’s top scorer left, leaving both ends of the pitch weakened. Four rounds into the new Serie A campaign, Genoa remain winless and their lack of firepower has been evident.
⚡ Lazio hindered by transfer ban and poor start
Financial restrictions prevented Lazio from strengthening their squad, forcing them to rely on loan recalls and permanent deals for existing players. They also lost rotation options up front, limiting attacking depth.
The season has not started well either. After four league matches, Lazio have only one victory. Losing to Roma is understandable, but defeats against Sassuolo and Como have deepened concerns around their form.
