Dense, continuous dialogue between the Cagliarithe sports director Nereo Bonatothe various entourages and theEmpoli to try to find the final solution for the landing of Davide Nicola e Sebastiano Luperto in Sardinia.
The point
Yesterday, June 28, after the agreement reached for Nicola and Luperto between Sardinians and Tuscans, on the basis of approximately 4 million eurosa new one has been registered braking towards officialdom. In detail, the issue to close the negotiating table is convince Luperto. In fact, the Italian defender and captain is a bit of a niche player for the rossoblù. Fundamental problem the engagement, with Luperto still continuing to look around given the polls received in the past from Fiorentina and Turin. However, Nicola strongly wants him with him in Asseminello for the start of his adventure on the Cagliari bench and the rossoblù need an expert central defender to replace Dossena went to Como for 8 million plus 2 in bonuses. Luperto’s requests exceed one million euros per season and Tommaso Giulini’s club, which has been making clear cuts to its wage bill in recent seasons, considers these requests to be out of budget.
The parties continue to talk but because there is a solution and it could be that of stretch of a year the contract with various bonuses to increase the salary item. Cagliari initially offered Luperto a contract until 2027 and to find the definitive solution they could bring the offer up to 2028. With the Sardinians, however, strengthened by the agreement with Nicola and by both their own and Empoli’s need to close by July, they could separate the two negotiations (Luperto and Nicola) and turn to the role of central defender on other profiles explored in recent weeks. The next few hours will bring the final advice on a negotiation for the replacement of Claudio Ranieri, already not an easy task for him, which has become a soap opera with too many episodes.
