José Luis Palomino took part in Cagliari's afternoon training at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini, but it is not excluded that he could be one of the last players under Davide Nicola's orders. This is because Talleres insists on bringing him back to his homeland and immediately, given that the transfer market in Argentina is still open. He has not played since the 1-1 at the Meazza with Milan on January 11: this is one of the reasons that led him to evaluate an immediate farewell, even if it is not a given that it will happen, with the Córdoba club that would guarantee him a leading role.

One more problem for the rossoblù management, who 15 days after the end of the winter session finds themselves with a request for one of their players , certainly not rejected by the interested party. All this after Mateusz Wieteska was loaned to the Greeks of PAOK in January without being replaced. In the event that Palomino were to leave, Cagliari would have to resist for the remaining 13 days of Serie A with only Sebastiano Luperto, Yerry Mina (also on a yellow card) and Adam Obert as the only central defenders . And the Slovakian is already acting as a backup for Tommaso Augello on the left, after Paulo Azzi moved to Cremonese (again without a replacement). This is why the club is trying to keep him until the end of the season.

The president of Talleres, Andrés Fassi, reiterated that the negotiation is on track in an interview with Cadena 3 Argentina. « Palomino is a player that we are trying to close », he said. « He is one of the options, but we are also looking for other players who are currently outside Argentina. We want two additions to the defensive department ». Having arrived in Cagliari in August, released after seven years at Atalanta, the Argentine defender born in 1990 (who left his country of origin in 2014) has collected 9 appearances in Serie A and 2 in the Coppa Italia, with a goal against Torino on 20 October in the 3-2 victory at the Domus.
