Negotiations underway between Cagliari and Empoli: the transfer of coach Davide Nicola to the rossoblù is involved. But Marin, a midfielder owned by Cagliari on loan to the Tuscan club, could also be included in the agreement. For the moment, tight-lipped, but tomorrow Nereo Bonato, the rossoblù sporting director, will speak in a press conference to take stock of the situation. There will be no official announcement, because, even if the game is now over, there are many details to be defined. Above all of an economic nature: how much does it cost to free Nicola?

THE MARIN NODE – The first episode, between today and the 14th, passes right through Marin, in Tuscany for two seasons: Empoli could exercise the right of redemption set at the figure of 2 million. Or have him return to Cagliari and then include him (paying him less) in the agreement for Nicola. It's a game of chess, but each move has set times. Cagliari would like to regularize the salary as soon as possible. But in the game of roles he must listen to the requests of Empoli who have the advantage of another year of contract with Nicola. Even the Tuscan club, however, cannot waste too much time because they in turn have to look for and find a new coach. There is a new sporting director arriving at Empoli, Roberto Gemmi. And Nicola's successor could also be Eusebio Di Francesco, the very coach who brought Marin to Italy from Ajax during his time at Cagliari.

LUPERTO – The Empoli center back, Sebastiano Luperto, born in 1996, former Napoli, could also be involved in the maxi negotiation. But this operation should be linked to the fate of Mina, still at Cagliari, but requested by Cruzerio in Brazil. And also from the possible sale of Dossena, a player that Fiorentina really likes.

THE ATTACK – Nicola meanwhile is already consulting with Bonato for the first market operations. For the moment, Oristanio and Shomurodov should return to Inter and Roma respectively. Except then possibly reopening the negotiation after the 14th. Gaetano, who immediately returned to Naples, could instead be part of Cagliari's plans: it will depend on Conte and Nicola. Meanwhile, Catanzaro could exercise, again by the 14th, the right of redemption for Veroli, a left-footed defender who did well in Serie B and is also doing very well in the Under 21s. However, by the 17th, Cagliari can exercise the counter-ransom.
