Nine and a half, but only because perfection does not exist. And yet the January market of the Pisa it borders on it, making sensible, concrete and futuristic operations. If Spezia's direct rivals have bought the 36-year-old Lapadula, snubbed by the Nerazzurri, if Sassuolo has mainly moved at the end of the session, that of Giovanni Corrado and Davide Vaira is a window of negotiations worthy of the market queen. The best young defender in Serie C arrives on the gong, Alessio Castellini, so much so as to spark a popular uprising in Catania.

However, Pisa is playing on increasingly important tables, competing with players and clubs Serie A and even buys prospects from European cups, such as Markus Solbakken, from Sparta Prague, chased for two years. For a Bonfanti who leaves there is a Henrik Meister who is coming, talent still to be honed, but potential record investment, arrived from Rennes. Then there is Leonard Sernicola, another important purchase from Cremonese, one of the direct rivals, weakened. A purchase for each role to attack Serie A. All players with a future, young and experienced, with great potential. You couldn't ask for more from this market.

Beruatto leaves, plus a few other players, but even in this case the exits make more sense. Those who left remain attached to Pisa who want to mature their assets, as in the case of Jevsenak and Mlakar. A new era has begun for the Nerazzurri transfer market, which in a few years has gone from the Totano festival, buying players from Serie D and Eccellenza, to dealing with European level player prospects. It was much more than a January transfer market, we are living history and the future.
