According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Sassuolo will strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes, focusing on reinforcing the defense under Aquilani.

Aquilani's stance is clear: the defense needs reinforcement.

The departure of Muharremovic and injuries have created significant problems for the Neroverdi coach. He recently stated: "There are difficulties in the defensive line; I haven't even brought in a potential starting player." This has sent a clear signal to the club, and Sassuolo will accelerate their efforts in the coming days to address this issue before their league debut.

The most frequently mentioned target is Acerbi, who is available as a free agent after leaving Inter Milan. On the flanks, Darmian and Obrador are also on the watchlist. The midfield may also be strengthened, particularly if Thorsvedt departs: free agent Remo Freuler is also an option, but not the only one.
