The love story between Leonardo Pavoletti and Cagliari continues. The club has formalized the renewal of the hero of the promotion to Serie A until 30 June 2026.
" A Pavoloso is forever ", the video posted by the Cagliari Club on social media where the strong attachment to the shirt and to the Captain's Island are celebrated.
Born in Livorno, he arrived in Sardinia in the summer of 2017, Pavoletti celebrated his first home goal for the rossoblù in the 2-1 victory against Benevento. A goal scored at the end of time, decisive, like "Pavoloso" will be in Cagliari. Again at the end of that same championship, his goal against the "Franchi" in Florence (0-1) gave the three fundamental points for the conquest of salvation.
In the following season he scored 18 goals and made his debut with goals for the national team. He is still a protagonist in the 2020-21 season, always scoring in key matches: away against Crotone (0-2), in the home victory against Parma (4-3) and again against Benevento, in the direct clash at Vigorito” won 3-1.
189 matches have been played so far for the rossoblù, among the 49 goals scored, the one on 11 June 2023 at the "San Nicola" in Bari is already engraved in history: playoff final, strike in the 94th minute which is worth the reconquest of the top flight and sends a people in ecstasy.
Prowess, iconic goals, like those that Pavoletti has repeated this season, author of a brace - scoring in the 94th and 96th minutes - for the comeback victory at the Unipol Domus against Frosinone (from 0-3 to 4- 3). And again the three-point bicycle kick goal – again in injury time – to complete another comeback against Sassuolo (1-2).
