Cagliari's next purchase could come from Sampdoria, who have just achieved safety in Serie B in a dramatic way. It is Alessandro Pio Riccio , a 2002 defender from the Blucerchiati who is of interest to the Rossoblù: the deal could be set up with an exchange with goalkeeper Simone Scuffet , who is returning (but only temporarily) from his loan at Napoli.

Riccio is a product of the Juventus youth sector, with whom he played in Serie C with the Next Gen team for a total of 58 games between 2021 and 2023. In 2023-2024 he moved up a category to play in Serie B, with Modena, where he was coached by two former Cagliari players: first Paolo Bianco and then, at the end of the season, Pierpaolo Bisoli. With the Gialloblù, 24 appearances, all in the league. A year ago, Juventus sold him outright to Sampdoria, where he made 28 appearances and scored 1 goal. He was on the pitch as a starter and for the entirety of both recent playout matches with Salernitana.

Riccio's arrival could be Guido Angelozzi's first purchase as Cagliari's sporting director, after the announcement of his new role.

Outgoing Kingstone Mutandwa has gone on loan with an option to buy to Austrian side Ried , with the official announcement coming in the last few hours.
