Christian Vieri is officially an Atalanta player, while Roma are said to be on the verge of signing Mirko Vucinic from Lecce.
Reports today already suggested that Vieri was ready to put pen to paper and the club confirmed the one-year contract this evening.
Although no financial details have been released, it’s believed he agreed to a minimum wage deal of just over £1,000 per month to join the side he originally played for in 1995-96.
There had been fears he would retire from the game completely following brief spells at Milan, Monaco and Sampdoria, the latter experience not even stretching to a single training session before his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
Meanwhile, Roma are said to have found their new forward, as Lecce hitman Vucinic has agreed a loan deal worth £2m with the option to buy half his contract at the end of the season.
The Montenegrin will sign a five-year contract on Wednesday after the two clubs have finalised the last details.
In other transfer news, Siena have officially picked up midfielder Paul Constantin Codrea from Palermo.
Empoli reinforced their defence with the arrival of Daniele Adani, the 32-year-old who was out of contract after his spell at Ascoli.
