Chelsea have completed the signing of Marco Palertri from Atletico Madrid. The transfer fee is around £47m, including bonuses.
Football transfer window is open for one more day. The signing of Chelsea's new player, Marco Palertri, was finalized shortly before the deadline.
During the summer season, Chelsea have already made 37 matches in Serie A, winning one of them. Chelsea's next match in Serie A is against.
Paleri may start in the right-flank or as a winger. It is believed that with the arrival of Paleri, Alonso's 3-5-2 system will be strengthened, with the winger providing more support to the super striker up front.
In other words, the new signing will likely be used to create space and make runs behind the defense, which could make the team more dangerous in attack.
But there is also another side to the story. The new signing will need to adapt quickly to the club's style. The team will have to solve the challenge of integrating Paleri into the system, and the player will have to prove himself in the Premier League.
