Negotiations still stalled for the sale of the two players The striker Despodov sold to Ludogorets definitively
CAGLIARI. Nandez towards Leeds. But there are still many details, especially economic ones, to be defined. For the British club – if the purchase of the Uruguayan midfielder goes through – it would be the most expensive operation in its history.
As the English newspapers also remember, the record to beat is the arrival of Rodrigo from Valencia for 29 million. So, if the release clause of 36 million to be paid to Cagliari were to remain valid, it would be a record figure. A scenario that makes it clear that it will not be a deal that ends overnight. For the moment, therefore, everything is frozen, also not to distract the player engaged in the America’s Cup: yesterday, among other things, Nandez suffered a small muscle mishap.
Negotiations stalled for the same reason for Godin, convincing leader of Uruguay also with Chile: the player has another year of contract (plus option for the third) but the rossoblu club, in full spending review, has announced that it can no longer be allow the engagement. Also in this case it will be discussed again after the conclusion of Celeste’s commitments in the America’s Cup.
The negotiation with Inter to bring Nainggolan definitively to Sardinia remains open: the player wants to finish his career at Cagliari, but the Nerazzurri club does not want to lose us. Again it will take some time.
Also on the front, the requests and surveys for Lykogiannis, Cragno and Simeone were different. Meanwhile, there is the permanent transfer of the Bulgarian striker Kiril Despodov to Ludogorets.
Arriving in Sardinia in January 2019, Despodov then played with the Sturm Graz jerseys and, last season, again with Ludogorets, won the title of champion of Bulgaria. He leaves Cagliari after five appearances and no goals. The acute in the match against Inter at the Sardegna Arena when he provoked a penalty (foul by Skriniar) which was then missed by Barella.
There are also many requests for Zappa: Di Francesco’s Hellas is also pressing. But the outside should remain in Sardinia. Even if for that role, on entry, the names of Caceres and Letizia are mentioned.
Cagliari looks for quantity and quality in midfield. The dream, waiting for the end of the Milan-Brescia negotiations, is Tonali. But the real goals could be Sturaro or Ghiglione of Genoa and Frattesi of Sassuolo, last season at Sassuolo, a very promising under-21 who is waiting for the first real chance in Serie A.
