No twists. Yesterday at midnight the deadlines for exercising the redemptions of the loans expired. Cagliari, as expected, greeted Dalbert and Strootman , sent back to Inter and Olimpique Marseille respectively without a shot, as well as Lovato , who had arrived on loan from Atalanta.

And Grassi has also returned to the base , one of the few rossoblùs capable of emerging from the golden mediocrity of a season that will remain a bleeding wound for a long time. No surprise also for the players on loan from Cagliari: Empoli and Verona have formalized the redemptions of Vicario (8 million) and Simeone (10.5 million), as well as Miangue definitively leaves Sardinia to stay at Brugge, while they return to the base . Faragò, Cerri, Tripaldelli, Ladinetti, Cusumano, Contini, Ciocci, Lella, Biancu and Boccia .

To greetings

His tears remained in Venice, those of a relegation against which Alberto Grassi fought until the end. Surprisingly, the midfielder arrived with a thousand doubts one summer ago, with a suitcase full of injuries. Few would have bet, starting with Semplici, that he had had him with him at Spal, but that he certainly hadn't included him in the list of possible reinforcements. Grassi collected the perplexities and thought only of working, winning a place in the sun training after training, ousting what should have been, on paper, the immovable holder in the median, Strootman. Always above the sufficiency, to collect 30 appearances, as he had never before in his career (the record was the 28 games played in Ferrara), accompanied by two assists and the fight continues in the heart of the game. Cagliari, in case of salvation, would have kept it tight.

But the relegation to Serie B does not allow excessive expenses, read the 4 million that President Giulini should have paid into Parma's coffers, as agreed last summer. No discounts from the Ducals, on the Cagliari competitor card in the next crowded promotion race. And so Grassi has returned to being a player for the Emilians since last night. Although his future, given last season's performances, could be far from the Tardini. But also from Sardinia, because Grassi deserved Serie A on the pitch and will try to take it back in this summer market.

The return

No agreement also between Cagliari and Brescia for Matteo Tramoni . The young course (41 games and 8 goals, between regular season and playoff with the Rondinelle) was not redeemed by president Cellino, held back by the 2.5 million that he should have put on the table and also by the fact that a negotiation of Friday 17. Tramoni, therefore, returns to the rossoblù , where two seasons ago, with Di Francesco on the bench, he had put together 6 appearances in Serie A. However, it is difficult for the player to remain at the disposal of Liverani. Also because last year's good performances have attracted the attention of other clubs, starting with Sampdoria, and Cagliari is ready to hear and evaluate the offers for the 2000 class of Ajaccio.
