Cagliari Transfer Nicolussi Caviglia Remains Priority

After the away draw against Cremonese, Pisacane’s team are now looking for three points in tonight’s match against De Rossi’s Genoa.

While the team is on the pitch, Cagliari is also working hard to strengthen its midfield. The first name on the list is Hans Nicolussi Caviglia.

There’s still a difference between what the Sardinians are offering and the asking price of Venezia, who currently have the midfielder on loan at Fiorentina.

The midfielder, who was born in 2000, has already said he’s available to play for the Rossoblù club, as he’s really into coach Pisacane’s ideas and wants to play more than he has been able to do so far.

Venezia Hold Firm as Cagliari Wait

Cagliari are thinking about it, so the Venetians might be willing to lower their asking price for Nicolussi Caviglia. They turned down a loan of €500,000 with an option to buy, which could have been converted into an obligation for a figure between €4 and €5 million.

The Rossoblù think this proposal is fair, but the Veneto club isn’t fully on board yet. They’re set on making the most of their asset. The other option, and this is nothing new, is the usual Sandro Lovric of Udinese.

One thing going for Cagliari is the player’s attitude. Nicolussi Caviglia has already said he’s up for the transfer. He’s really into the Rossoblù project, and Pisacane’s work is a big reason why.

The island club’s waiting game could be a smart plan to get Venezia to chill on their demands as time goes on.

Midfield and Attack Moves on Cagliari’s Radar

Cagliari are aware of the timing of the transfer market and doesn’t want to rush things, but they are still keeping a close eye while feeling confident. The talks could resolve later on if the Venetians change their stance a bit.

President Tommaso Giulini’s club is also making moves in attack. The Rossoblù are thinking about Torino’s Duvan Zapata, who Genoa are also interested in. But the Colombian striker’s high salary is putting off other teams who want to sign him during the transfer window.
