Salmi Overview

Serie A returns on 22 August. We explore the history books of Matchday 1 data and what happens after World Cups to list four opening day betting angles.

AC Milan have identified Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk as their primary defensive target this summer following the €70 million signing of Goncalo Ramos. Senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic is driving the ambitious pursuit as the Italian club look to capitalise on a major rebuild at Anfield and secure the experienced centre-back for their new era under manager Ruben Amorim.

Ruben Amorim has wasted no time in making his mark at the San Siro, sanctioning a club-record move to secure his first signing as AC Milan manager. The Rossoneri have completed the high-profile acquisition of Portuguese international Goncalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has openly fuelled intense speculation linking him with a summer move to Juventus and AC Milan, confessing to a childhood dream of playing in Italy. Breaking his silence after being dropped by Brazil for the World Cup, the 29-year-old delivered a remarkably honest assessment of his campaign, admitting he fully agreed with Carlo Ancelotti's decision.
