While waiting for the boss of the bench, the revolution is planned at Cagliari. A revolution that starts from behind, from a defensive department that will completely change its face. Not only tactically (we could in fact go back to the four-way line), but also and above all in the interpreters. In goal, with Cragno who will leave the defense of the goalposts to Radunovic, and throughout the defensive battery, where there are few rossoblùs in the odor of confirmation.

Revolution

Cagliari ended the season with seven central defenders, but in Serie B many of them are destined to say goodbye. Meanwhile, Ceppitelli and Lovato, with the former captain who, after eight years in Sardinia, will not renew his contract, while the second will return to Bergamo, with the expiry of the dry loan granted in January by Atalanta. Suitcases ready also for Walukiewicz, the positions of Goldaniga, Carboni and Altare remain to be evaluated. Certainly the only one, the young Obert, one of the guys who could make the big leap from the Primavera to the first team.

None essential

And it could not be otherwise for a team that, last season, closed with a loss of 68 goals. Cagliari leaves the doors open for everyone, in front of the right offer you sit at the table and it is a question. As in the case of Goldaniga: the player who arrived in January from Sassuolo on a permanent basis has totaled 11 appearances, in a path conditioned at the beginning by Covid and then by an ankle problem. Goldaniga would gladly stay in Cagliari, but with the rossoblù club he evaluates some proposals, in particular that of Salernitana, which would allow him to stay in A. And they also expect proposals for Walukiewicz: a tormented season and conditioned by the hip surgery, the young 2000 he does not want to go down to Serie B so as not to lose the newly found national team. For him there could be a transfer to the Bundesliga, with Cagliari starting from a request for 4 million.

Doubts

In defense, we could start from the Altare-Carboni couple, but even in this case it is difficult to talk about certainties. Because in a poor market of good defenders, the two have shown that they can deserve attention in the top flight. The first, born in 2001, back in the U21 round, would be the rossoblù Captain Futuro, with the explosion in the first team after all the rigmarole in the youth teams and those 52 games played in Serie A which are a goal that few have crossed. at his age. Carboni would not move from Cagliari, but it is clear that, in the face of an important proposal, anything could happen. As for Altare, one of the few happy notes of this unfortunate season, from ugly duckling to indispensable pawn, with 19 appearances (18 in the second round).

The promise

Finally, a future rossoblù for the very young Obert, 20 years old next 23 August: for him 6 appearances with the first team, in addition to the season as a protagonist with the Primavera. In B he is awaited by the definitive leap in quality to become "great".
