Cagliari Transfer Market: The Idea of a Sensational Return Has Been Ruled Out

In recent days, many Cagliari fans have sparked a heated debate on social media regarding the possibility of seeing Alessio Cragno back in the red-and-blue jersey. The star, who has now fully recovered from his Achilles tendon injury, is a free agent and has been linked to Tommaso Giulini’s club.

Currently, Elia Caprile is the undisputed starter, with Alen Sherri and Boris Radunović as his backups. The Albanian has never fully convinced, while the Serbian had the chance to shine in the Coppa Italia against Hellas Verona, but things didn’t go well.

For many fans, signing Alessio Cragno as Caprile’s backup could have been an excellent move in the transfer market, but the Sardinian club’s management sees it differently. The possibility of recalling the goalkeeper born in 1994 was indeed considered by some Cagliari executives, but it was decided to stick with Alessio Cragno, Alen Sherri, and Boris Radunović.

Fresh off a great victory against Atalanta, Cagliari has had to deal with the issue involving Daniel Maldini in recent days. The player, returning from the match against Maurizio Sarri’s Atalanta, was involved in a car accident in Milan. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but it was quite a scare.

Maldini also underwent drug tests, which came back negative, and Tommaso Giulini defended his player in no uncertain terms: “I don’t understand how certain reports can surface. It’s certain newspapers that are on drugs. We’re stunned and surprised; we believe in the young man’s good faith—he told us he’d had a couple of cocktails. All the tests came back negative.”

Cagliari signed Daniel Maldini on loan from Atalanta with an obligation to buy him outright if the Sardinians avoid relegation. Should Fabio Pisacane’s team remain in the top flight, Atalanta would receive 8 million euros.
