Cagliari, market almost at the start: eyes on Caldirola and Jankto
Bellanova coming out near Turin, Marin's stay is also difficultFive more days, then the transfer market will officially open its doors. But the great maneuvers have already begun, and Cagliari is also working to build the team that will face the next Serie A. If the Nandez dispute holds the court on the way out, with the declarations of the agent who opened the sale, on the way works on several fronts.
One of these is that of the central defender: the sketch is that of an experienced player, to be included in a package with a rather low average age. One lead leads to Luca Caldirola , 32 years old, back from an excellent season with the Monza shirt: a natural left-handed, he would represent Obert's alter ego, being able to cover, if necessary, even the role of left-back. His contract expires in 2024 and, also for age reasons, he would be a low-cost alternative to the other (more expensive) target on the transfer market, Baschirotto from Lecce.
In the meantime, Cagliari is also working on a new midfielder: 27-year-old Jakub Jankto is in their sights, whom Ranieri knows well, having already coached him at Sampdoria. In the last championship he played on loan at Sparta Prague, but his card is owned by the Spanish side Getafe. From his background, the Czech has already consolidated knowledge of Serie A, where he made his professional debut (he grew up in Udinese's youth team) and where he played until the transfer in the summer of 2021. Furthermore, he would be a very useful joker, able to cover virtually any midfield position.
An important pawn, also considering the increasingly probable sale of Razvan Marin : after the transfer of Vicario to Tottenham (20 million, of which 4 for Cagliari), Empoli obtained the little treasure necessary to confirm the Romanian, with another five millions that could end up in the pockets of the rossoblùs. Destiny far from Sardinia also for Bellanova , with Turin ready to close for the winger, currently busy with the under 21 European Championship.
