With all of ItalyÂ’s top clubs making changes to their rosters, the Serie A title is wide open this season. Soccerway.com tracks the biggest changes made by four of ItalyÂ’s biggest teams. Which team made the most headway in the seasonÂ’s transfer market?

AC Milan

Flamini: MilanÂ’s first transfer brought the young combative Frenchman to the San Siro after an exceptional coming out season with Champions League quarter-finalists Arsenal. Will he become the next big French star?

Zambrotta: In order to strengthen MilanÂ’s comparatively weak defence, Zambrotta returned to Italy, this time wearing the Red and Black. Is he still one of the best defenders in the world?

Shevchenko: Milan legend returns after 2 dismal years in England. Milan supporters hope he getÂ’s back to his best.

Ronaldinho: Probably the biggest transfer in the world this summer. His first game against Bologna showed that Ronaldinho may become one of the best players in the world once again.

Inter

Mancini: Brazilian Mancini has added even more quality to the already star studded Inter line-up. His ability to play as a defender, midfielder and forward gives Inter great options.

Quaresma: The young Portuguese midfielder was one of the most sought after midfielders this transfer season after his maturation this past season.

Juventus

Mellberg: Juventus added more height and experience to the Juventus backline in their quest to regain their title as one of the best teams in Europe.

Amauri: New Brazilian sensation Amauri was captured early in the transfer season and gives Juve a much needed 4th striker to help the Turin club compete in all competitions this season.

Roma

Baptista: The loss of Mancini to Inter may have hurt the Roman club, that is up until the capture of “La Bestia” to add more muscle to the team.

Menez: Another possible French star was tracked by many top teams, but Roma captured him and will be looking to turn this youngster into a great player for many years to come.
