Pisa finished the 2024-25 campaign with 76 points, made up of 23 wins, seven draws and eight losses. They finished six points off the lead, but 10 points clear of third-placed Spezia.
Palermo, meanwhile, finished the 2024-25 campaign in eighth place in Serie B, one point shy of the play-off positions.

As expected, Turkish talent Semih Kilicsoy has arrived in Italy for his Cagliari medical, ready to complete the €14m transfer from Besiktas. The reports were all confirmed, that he was waiting to participate in last night's Champions League preliminary round tie with Shakhtar Donetsk. He was given the all-clear to fly out for his medical and landed on Italian soil this evening. .@CagliariCalcio, Semih Kiliçsoy è arrivato in Italia: ecco le prime immagini — Gianluca Di Marzio (@DiMarzio) August 1, 2025 Kilicsoy an exciting buy for Cagliari ISTANBUL, TURKEY – SEPTEMBER 22: Semih Kilicsoy of Besiktas celebrates victory during the Turkish Super League match between Besiktas and Eyupspor at Turpas Stadium on September 22, 2024 in Istanbul, Turkey. (Photo by) It is going to be a loan deal at a cost of €1m, with an option to make it permanent for a further €12m, plus €2m in potential add-ons. Besiktas are also expected to retain a 20 per cent cut of the future sale fee. This is quite the coup for Cagliari, because Kilicsoy is one of the brightest talents in Turkish football. He turns 20 in a couple of weeks and can play as a centre-forward or in a wider attacking role. The teenager scored an impressive five goals in six caps for Turkey at Under-21 level, and already has four senior appearances under his belt.
