Serie A side set to continue spending in summer transfer window

Catania have announced the signing of striker Gonzalo Bergessio from Saint-Etienne after a successful loan spell for an undisclosed fee. The 27-year-old impressed in Serie A last season when he scored five goals in 12 matches during a productive spell in Italy. "Gonzalo Bergessio is a Catania player," said Catania general manager, Pietro Lo Monaco. The arrival of the Argentina-born marksman to the club has heightened speculation that his countrymen Maxi Lopez could be shown the exit door. He added: "If Maxi Lopez stayed it would mean we'd be hunting for flies with a cannon, because with him and Bergessio, we'd have two extraordinary forwards," added Lo Monaco. "In any case, Catania's transfer dealings have not yet finished."
