The summer retreat schedule kicked off positively for Fiorentina and Lazio, both celebrating wins over their respective Primavera sides. Pioli’s Fiorentina cruised to an 8–0 victory, while Sarri’s Lazio—guided by goals from Pedro, Cancellieri, and Basic—sealed a 3–0 result. It was also a successful outing for Bologna, now led by Vincenzo Italiano, who claimed their second win in as many friendlies by thrashing Serie C side Virtus Verona 7–0. However, there was concern for Ndoye, who left the pitch early after a heavy challenge.
Verona made it two out of two as well, dismantling Rovereto 9–0, with a standout performance from 2006-born Cissè, who netted twice. At Parma, Cuesta's managerial debut began with a 3–2 win over the club's youth team. Newly promoted Pisa impressed with a 7–0 victory against a Valle d’Aosta XI, featuring a goal by Louis Buffon, son of Italian legend Gianluigi.
Meanwhile, Inter have confirmed their upcoming friendly fixtures against Monaco, Monza, and Olympiakos, while Juventus are set to face Reggiana and Borussia Dortmund.
Pre-season preparations continue across Serie A, with several high-profile friendlies scheduled in the coming days—including Everton vs Roma, Leipzig vs Atalanta, and Napoli vs Girona.
