Other objectives: Zortea, also from Atalanta, and Felici from Feralpisaló. Cagliari will also try to bring Gaetano back to Sardinia from Napoli, but this is a discussion that can only materialize in August, after Conte’s evaluations of the player. On the way out, Lapadula has requests, above all, from Pisa, Palermo and Cremonese. Radunovic is popular in B, Greece and Serbia). Paok Salonicco on Marin, Panathinaikos on Hatzidiakos. Meanwhile, the contracts of Viola, Aresti and Mancosu have expired.
