All crazy for Cagliari’s jewel, Bologna also wants him

After a horror-film start to 2026, Cagliari seems to have regained confidence, and recent victories over Cremonese and Atalanta have moved the Sardinians away from the hot zone of the standings. Currently, Fabio Pisacane’s gang is 16th with an 8-point lead over third-last Cremonese.

Part of the credit for Cagliari’s recent positive results should be given to the young talents Fabio Pisacane is deploying. In the last round of the championship, Paul Mendy was the absolute protagonist with the 2 goals he scored against Atalanta in 9 minutes, but he is not the only little gem to have put himself on display in recent appearances.

There is also Joseph Liteta, who is making very good use of the minute-long, albeit very limited, spell that coach Pisacane is giving him. The excellent performances offered by the young 2006-born footballer have attracted the attentions of many clubs.

In England it seems that several Championship clubs are planning to send some scouts to Italy to closely monitor Liteta but Bologna is also interested. Giovanni Sartori has always had a great nose for emerging young talent and on Sunday he will have the chance to see the Zambian up close if he gets the opportunity to play.
