The defender and the midfielder are the first goals at the reopening of the market
CAGLIARI. The defeat at La Spezia with Bologna partly softened the failure to win against Salernitana. Cagliari earned a point on the safety zone. The fourth to last place is three points away, then there is a “hole” with three formations (Udinese, Venice and Sampdoria) at an altitude of 15 and therefore very far away for now. However, the bitterness remains for how a success now locked in a safe was thrown away. Tomorrow in Verona the rossoblù are called to redeem themselves. The promise made to the fans on Friday evening by captain Joao Pedro («we will give everything for this shirt and to win salvation») must be honored, starting with the “Bentegodi” match against an opponent who is not very malleable but who has lost brilliance.
Market 1. In January at Cagliari there will certainly be some arrivals but also some exits. Who could go away? Strootman is definitely on the list. The Dutchman has not, at least so far, made the contribution that was expected. He suffered an injury, but even before that his performance was not up to par. The company and the technician are pondering but the chances of a goodbye in about a month are growing. As for Godin, if the Uruguayan finds a solution he likes, he could ask Cagliari to terminate the contract. And he would be satisfied. Should this not happen, he could even extend his agreement by a year, but spreading the current engagement until 2024. Oliva can also pack his bags, even if there have been no offers for the Uruguayan midfielder. They could come from La Liga or Portugal.
Market 2. In defense and in midfield, urgent interventions are needed. One of the most popular names is that of Pulgar, on the margins of the Fiorentina project. The Chilean is a true director not a mezzala like both Marin and Strootman are. A player capable of verticalizing, what the Quattro Mori has so far lacked. For the defense we are watching carefully at Turin. Armando Izzo, 29, is more than an idea. A footballer that Walter Mazzarri knows well for having empty when he drove the grenade and who made him play the starter. Which Juric doesn’t do. Izzo entered the order of ideas to leave. Cagliari will try, perhaps asking for a loan with the right of redemption. Another of the names that are circulating with insistence is that of Christian Tello, left winger, former Barcelona player, currently in force at Betis Sevilla and about to expire his contract. Tello has already played in the Italian league with Fiorentina but did not affect as he hoped. Since the beginning of the championship he has clocked 9 appearances for a total of 286 minutes. Cagliari is also evaluating Gaston Ramirez, but being a playmaker, the idea could be shelved. In January, an attempt will be made for Satriano, a young Inter forward.
