Borrelli has arrived in Cagliari: "I'm so happy."
The striker, made official on Thursday evening, will immediately join the gathering at the Crai Sport Center in AsseminiThe medical tests were completed this morning, followed by the arrival in Cagliari in time for the training camp at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini . It was the first day as a rossoblù for Gennaro Borrelli, Fabio Pisacane's new center forward, who landed at 6:30 PM at Elmas Airport on a flight from Rome Fiumicino.
"I'm so happy," were his first words upon landing, greeted by some fans who immediately presented him with a red and blue scarf. "I want to make the most of the opportunity I've been given, and I can't wait to get started. I thank the coach and the president, who wanted me more than anyone else, as well as Director Angelozzi, whom I already knew."
Borrelli arrives as a free agent: he was registered with Massimo Cellino's Brescia until June 30th, when Brescia refused to sign him and thus lost all his players. He signed a four-year contract with Cagliari (with an option for a further season in the club's favor) and officially becomes the first new face of this summer transfer window , after the club exercised the buy-outs of Michel Adopo, Elia Caprile, and Roberto Piccoli.
Over the next few days, Borrelli and the entire squad will undergo tests and medicals in Assemini . Then on Sunday, they'll travel to Ponte di Legno for the pre-season training camp, which will last until July 22nd. The striker reunites with sporting director Guido Angelozzi, who brought him to Frosinone in 2022: with the Giallozzurri, he made 25 appearances and scored six goals across Serie A (one match on August 19, 2023 against Napoli), Serie B, and the Coppa Italia.
