Transfer Wrap: Serie A

Kaka was undoubtedly the headline arrival in the Italian top flight, as he ended a disappointing three-year spell in La Liga with Real Madrid in order to return to Milan.

“I’m coming home,” he toldSky Italiaafter finalising his switch. ‘I’m very happy and now I get to live lots of new joyous moments with Milan.”

There was also a departure from the San Siro, with 18-year-old striker Andrea Petagna joining Sampdoria on a season-long loan with the option of co-ownership.
