New name for the rossoblù rearguard: “Cagliari, defense to be invented: now the Angolan Gaspar emerges”, headlines La Nuova Sardegna. The future of Yerry Mina and Andrea Dossena is more uncertain than ever. Brazilian sirens have been hovering over the Colombian for weeks now, but transfer rumors have also been circulating for the other starting centre-back, Alberto Dossena, with 3-4 teams ready to participate in a mini-auction to grab him. The valuation of the former Avellino player – reports Stefano Ambu – could reach 8-10 million and it would be difficult to hold onto that point, also because it would guarantee a significant capital gain in the balance sheet of the rossoblù club.
So sporting director Nereo Bonato began to explore the market in search of possible replacements. The Angolan central Kialonda Gaspar, born in 1997, a 1.93m giant who plays for Estrela, a team that plays in the Portuguese top flight, would have ended up in the sights of the rossoblù manager. Last season he collected 27 appearances, one goal and 9 yellow cards.
However, he is not an unknown name on the Italian market, because there is also interest in him from Pantaleo Corvino’s Lecce.
