Serie A club Lazio signed Japanese midfielder Daichi Kamada on a free transfer, while Premier League side Chelsea signed French defender Axel Disasi from Ligue 1 side AS Monaco on a six-year contract on Friday.
Kamada, who turns 27 on Saturday, became a free agent after his contract with German side Eintracht Frankfurt was not renewed.
Kamada won the Europa League with Eintracht in 2022.
Lazio did not disclose further details of the deal but according to Italian media reports Kamada has signed a two-year contract with the option to add a third year.
Lazio finished second last season to secure a spot in the Champions League.

25-year-old Disasi has won four caps for the national team and has made 130 appearances in the French top flight.
His deal with Chelsea was worth a reported 45 million euros ($49.23 million).
"Axel has showcased his quality over several seasons in France and that has deservedly led to recognition on the international stage," Chelsea co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley said.
Chelsea are looking to revive their fortunes under new manager Mauricio Pochettino after coming 12th in the standings last season, their worst finish since 1994.
