The transfer window closed on Tuesday at 8:00 PM, at least as far as signings are concerned, but it's still possible to sell players abroad where the summer transfer window is still open. And Cagliari took advantage of this opportunity to complete Gennaro Borrelli's transfer to Turkey: the striker will play for Rizespor, the team where Kingstone Mutandwa was supposed to join, who later joined Servette in Switzerland .
Borrelli ended his time with Cagliari with five goals in twenty-seven Serie A appearances last season, plus three appearances and one goal in the 2025-2026 Coppa Italia, and two cameo appearances in the first two matchdays of this season against Parma and Inter. He arrived as a free agent in the summer of 2025 .
Due to a minor injury, Borrelli was not called up by Pisacane for tonight's Coppa Italia match against Verona . But his last appearance in a Cagliari shirt was on Sunday.
