Velizar-Iliya Iliev is moving to Serie C to gain experience. The Bulgarian goalkeeper, currently owned by Cagliari, who last season guarded the Primavera team that won the Coppa Italia, is moving to Audace Cerignola, a Serie C team that recently performed well against Verona in the cup, losing only on penalties. He could make his first-team debut, having reached the Under-20 level with the Rossoblu.
The transfer is on loan until June 30, 2026. During pre-season, Iliev played in the match against Galatasaray. In March this year he also earned his first (of two) caps for the Bulgaria Under-21s.
On the transfer front, a buyer is being sought for Marko Rog after his move to Turkish side Fatih Karagümrük fell through at the last minute . Another key player from last season's Primavera, Alessandro Vinciguerra, could instead join Pescara in Serie B. The transfer window closes at 8:00 PM on Monday, with Cagliari— as Fabio Pisacane reiterated in his press conference —also looking for incoming players to complete their squad.
