Paulo Azzi and Mateusz Wieteska say goodbye to Cagliari Calcio. The two defenders did not train this afternoon because they are about to move. The Brazilian full-back, who arrived in January 2023 and was a key player especially in the Serie B part of the season, is returning to the cadet championship and moving to Cremonese . Wieteska, on the other hand, is being sold to the Greeks of Paok .
Azzi ends his experience at Cagliari with 58 appearances and 3 goals in 24 months. His debut, coinciding with the great return of Claudio Ranieri, on January 14, 2023 against Como in a match where he scored the goal of the final 2-0 . In the following season he was able to debut in Serie A (25 games) while in this one he stopped at 9 appearances, 6 in the league and 3 in the Coppa Italia. Davide Nicola focused on Tommaso Augello and Adam Obert on the left wing, for Azzi the spaces closed and his contract expired on June 30. With Cremonese he therefore closes permanently, with the grigiorossi other operations are possible because they are interested in the strikers Dennis Johnsen and David Okereke, the latter currently on loan at Gaziantep in Turkey.
Wieteska instead has a longer agreement, until 2027, and a transfer was already possible in the summer: for him 5 games in Serie A and 2 in the Italian Cup from August to today. The Polish defender, who arrived in the summer of 2023 from the French team Clermont, moves to the Thessaloniki club on loan with an option to buy . These two exits should leave room to insert an offensive player, as anticipated by Cagliari president Tommaso Giulini after Sunday's match with Lecce .
In this afternoon's training at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini, the second of the week in view of the match against Torino (Friday 8:45 p.m.), still apart from Zito Luvumbo for whom recovery from the sprain-contusion trauma to his left ankle suffered on December 14 against Atalanta remains difficult . For him, simple personalized work. Tomorrow morning session, in the afternoon (6 p.m.) a delegation of the company will participate in the mass in memory of Gigi Riva at the Basilica of Nostra Signora di Bonaria , one year after the death of the Myth.
