While he'll get the chance to star for a more competitive team, he'll have to split time with veteran Cristiano Biraghi, who extended his contract.

Abdelhamid Sabiri - Completes Fiorentina move Sabiri has formally joined Fiorentina, which signed him in January and allowed him to finish the season at Sampdoria.

Impact Sabiri took a step back relative to his first Serie A spell, also because of his team's confusing situation and poor performances. He'll compete for minutes with Giacomo Bonaventura, Antonin Barak, and Gaetano Castrovilli at his new club.

Lorenzo Venuti - Swings in two crosses in season finale Venuti had seven passes, two crosses (zero accurate), and one corner in 18 minutes in Round 38's 3-1 win over Sassuolo.

Pietro Terracciano - Subtitute in last four matches Terracciano didn't start in the final four Serie A fixtures as he was spared for Coppa Italia and European Conference League.

Nikola Milenkovic - Doesn't feature in season finale Milenkovic was an unused sub in a 3-1 win over Sassuolo to end the campaign.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luka Jovic - Doesn't feature in season finale Jovic was an unused sub in Round 38's 3-1 win over Sassuolo.

He has posted six goals, three assists, 57 shots (20 on target), and 23 chances created in 31 appearances (16 starts).

Dodo - Relatively quiet in Sassuolo game Dodo created one scoring chance and had two crosses (zero accurate), two tackles (one won), and one clearance in a 3-1 win over Sassuolo in the last match of the season.

He has posted two goals, one assist, 18 shots (eight on target), and eight chances created in 15 appearances (seven starts).

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Brekalo - Unused versus Sassuolo Brekalo didn't play in the season finale against Sassuolo.

He has logged five shots (zero on target), eight key passes, and ten crosses (three accurate) in six appearances (one start), failing to contribute to a goal.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Giacomo Bonaventura - Does little in Sassuolo game Bonaventura had 12 touches in 32 minutes in Round 38's 3-1 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Bonaventura didn't get much action a few days after the European Conference League. He played more in the cups than domestically in the second portion of the season.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Amrabat had a sloppy performance and didn't fill it up in the season finale. He ended a very solid campaign on a low note due to a pair of physical problems and general fatigue. He returned to his Verona level and is drawing interest from top sides, especially thanks to the fact that he shined in the World Cup. He has posted 12 chances created, 39 tackles, 26 crosses (ten accurate), and 21 interceptions in 29 appearances.
