"Luperto is unsellable for us," said Guido Angelozzi, Cagliari's sporting director, just minutes before the match against Cremonese, who would like to sign the defender who will start for the Rossoblu . "There was never any possibility of him. Many teams have been interested in him since this summer, but the president immediately said no, and we haven't changed our minds. He's an important player, one of our most experienced: he's a strong point for us."
Cagliari's priority is a midfielder, and in addition to Hans Nicolussi Caviglia (Venezia, on loan at Fiorentina), there's also Sandi Lovrić of Udinese . "They're two players we're following, but they're not the only ones," Angelozzi explains. "We have a few alternatives; we're evaluating them with the club and will try to satisfy the manager."
Regarding Semih Kılıçsoy and his €12 million buyout, Angelozzi postpones the discussion: "He has to do what he's been doing in the two games where he scored. Today he's starting on the bench, but he's an interesting player. We're keeping an eye on him; he needs to score a few goals, and then it'll be easier to buy him out: it's certainly not impossible ."
