All in one day: the arrival in Elmas, the signing of the contract until 2028 and then, immediately after, for Matteo Prati there was also the first training in Asseminello as a Cagliari player.
For the young midfielder who arrived from Spal an afternoon session almost like a study, given that Prati did the entire pre-season without ever playing friendlies. Ranieri will evaluate him better in tomorrow morning's session, to understand whether or not he can already include him in the squad for the away game in Turin.
For all the others, double sessions, with tactical drills, practice matches and strength work, between the pitch and the gym. Absent the injured Mancosu, Lapadula and Rog, on a differentiated basis Pereiro and Desogus.
On the market front, with Prati closed, now the sporting director Bonato concentrates on Ranieri's requests. For defence, work is being done with AZ for the Greek centre-back Pantelis Hatzidiakos (with the "H", as on the player's Instagram page), engaged tonight with the Dutch in the Conference League preliminaries match against Santa Coloma. Attention also to the attack, where the first choice remains the AC Milan player Colombo, with the Rossoneri who, however, must find a deputy Giroud before selling him (on loan). Petkovic's prices drop on the list of eligible candidates, while the Cameroonian from Young Boys Nsame was also in the running.
