After Ribery alla Salernitana this summer, Serie A is facing another surprise market blitz from a newly promoted player. With a name, in the voice of the incoming players, that strikes: Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha, Portuguese better known as Nani, has joined Venezia. Born in 1986, raised in the Sporting Lisbon youth teams as Cristiano Ronaldo with whom he has faced a thousand battles on the pitch in the national team and beyond, Nani in his career has collected a Champions League (2007-2008) and a Club World Cup (2008) with the Manchester United and won the 2016 European Championship with his Portugal. In these hours the medical examinations: if he surpasses them, he will be the extra weapon for a Venice that wants to save itself.
In the 2017-2018 season he had already arrived in Serie A, in Rome, on the Lazio side. An unhappy Italian parenthesis, with 25 appearances and three goals, before returning to Sporting and then leaving for the United States. At Orlando City, in the US MLS, he averaged over 10 goals per season in three years before ending up free. His career draws to a close, but not before making a stop in Venice, not new to “exotic” shots in America: from Busio bought by Sporting Kansas City to Tessmann from FC Dallas, now also Nani. In this case a great name, a return to Europe and not a young man to cultivate. A bet, to reach salvation.
