On the day of the first official purchase, the young Alessandro Di Pardo, Watford's proposal for Nahitan Nandez arrives at Cagliari. To tell the truth, the contact is between the English club and the player's agent, Pablo Bentancur, with El Leon identified by the club's owner, the Pozzo family, as a fundamental element for the recovery. Because Watford, just like Cagliari, had a nightmare season and relegated to the Championship, the English Serie B.

Nandez's doubts

Not exactly a qualitative leap for the Uruguayan, expected in the city on Monday, after having requested and obtained an extra day of vacation, to return with an international flight from Montevideo. Nandez has snubbed the courtship of Monza, which would have allowed him to stay in Serie A with an ambitious club, and is waiting for a big one, perhaps that Naples that occasionally winks at Leon, without ever making an interesting offer for the Cagliari. Which, for its part, does not intend to give away what remains the most expensive purchase in rossoblù history. Also for this reason, Nandez does not seem particularly interested in Watford's proposal, which probably can offer a higher salary, but would force the player to get off the Celeste's radar, losing the train for the World Cup in Qatar.

Turkish things

The lead that could lead Joao Pedro to Turkey is more concrete. The number 10 of Ipatinga has been included in the provisional list of those called up who on Sunday will have to present themselves in Asseminello for the start of the preseason retreat. But both Joao and Cagliari hope to avoid forced coexistence. The negotiation with Galatasaray, one of the most important clubs in the Turkish Super Lig, goes on, with the Giallorossi able to put on the table 7-8 million plus bonuses for the rossoblù captain, who would also see his goal of breaking through the wall of 2 reached millions per engagement season. A race against time, with the hope of finding an agreement by the weekend.

The first arrival

Yesterday morning Cagliari made official the first purchase of the new season, the winger Di Pardo, born in '99, arriving from Juventus with the formula of the loan with the right of redemption, which would become an obligation in case of promotion. And also yesterday the transfer of Carboni to Monza was made official. Tonara's defender carried out medical examinations and explained: «I chose Monza out of ambition. I am delighted to be here. They wanted me strongly and I strongly wanted them. A new adventure begins and I am happy about it ».

Nicolas Viola is expected today at Villa Stuart, who will then sign the one-year contract plus option for the second with Cagliari. Continue the hunt for a spike. The track leading to Lapadula remains complicated, given that the rossoblù club does not want to pay a salary of 1.8 million per season to a 32-year-old player. And so the prices of the Romanian Puscas continue to rise, without losing sight of Maric and Donnarumma.

June 30 is the contract deadline day. In addition to Ceppitelli, also Lykogiannis, Ceter, Grassi, Dalbert, Keita Baldé, Lovato, Strootman, Baselli and the young Marigosu officially leave Cagliari.
