The Serie A championship is now close to its conclusion but as regards the relegation verdicts, we will most likely have to wait for the final whistle on the last day. Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari is still stuck in the hot zone and finds itself, with three games to go, only four points ahead of the hell of Serie B.
A season with different expectations
At the beginning of the season the rossoblù fans thought they would be able to experience their championship more peacefully thanks to some excellent alternatives in the squad, especially with regards to the attack, but instead something didn’t go as hoped. Among those who certainly expected more we find Andrea Petagnaa striker who arrived in the summer from Monza on a loan with the right to buy, who also arrived in Cagliari with Ranieri’s OK: “It is a point of reference and has already been seen in Bologna. He has a great left foot, a great header, he fights. He’ll do great”, Sir Claudio told Gazzetta dello Sport at the beginning of September. A forecast full of optimism but which, up to now, has been disregarded in his 18 appearances this season, also thanks to the numerous injuries, the former red and white striker has only scored one goal and one assist, truly a meager haul. At the end of the season, as calciomercato.com reports, Cagliari he will have to decide his future, also because in the event of a redemption, the president Tommaso Giulini would have to pay the sum of 8 million euros into the Brianza houses. At that point Petagna would have a contract valid until 30 June 2026. The fact is that, in the event of relegation, the attacker will be “sent back” to Monza without the possibility of redemption, barring a new negotiation of the formula and figures. A revolution with cannot be ruled out Petagna and Pavoletti they could leave the rossoblù to embrace the beginning of a new adventure. His high profile also weighs on Petagna’s futurehigh salary of over 2 million and cost of the price tag given the 12.5 million spent by the Brianza people.
Petagna in Cagliari to relaunch himself
Andrew Petagna but he had arrived at Cagliari to relaunch themselves, to find that player that everyone was able to admire in his SPAL days and who was then lost first with the Napoli shirt and then with that of Monza. With the Emilian club in 72 Serie A matches he had scored 28 goals. A distant relative of the one seen in subsequent years. The physical problems were yet another tile but now, Petagna, he could have a really important chance. In the last three matches he will be able to demonstrate that he is a player with important goals, with saving goals, which would be worth his stay in Sardinia and the cover in the very final part of the current season.
Claudio Ranieri has recovered him and knows he can count on him in the matches against Milan, Sassuolo and Fiorentina, finally returning to the rotations with Lapadula and Shomurodov for the role of first striker. The former Napoli player’s defensive play is fundamental and could be the additional weapon to achieve the much-desired salvation. At the end of the season, both the manager’s judgment and also the will of the player will count a lot, who, injury situation aside, has always declared that he is happy with his arrival in Sardinia.
It should also be added that Andrea Petagna he got hurt again when he was starting to get into shape and mostly missed the matches in which the rossoblù created more opportunities in the attacking phase. Among him there were not only injuries to him but also those of the various teammates who did not allow the former Atalanta player to act with a more or less permanent teammate Petagna he will have to be good at putting this bad moment behind him and entering the hearts of the fans with the heavy saving goals.
