Deiola rossoblù for life. The midfielder has renewed his contract with Cagliari, signing an agreement until June 30, 2029, when he will be approaching 34 years old .
A career that began in the Cagliari youth team, continued, apart from a few short spells on loan, in Cagliari. And that will most likely end in Cagliari, the team of his heart.
Identity and belonging, the red and blue jersey «like a second skin» . This is how Tommaso Giulini's club celebrates him by announcing the renewal: «Sardinian born fifty kilometers from Cagliari , Alessandro grew up since he was a child with the dream of becoming a footballer for his favorite team, admired from the stands of the Sant'Elia stadium . Between sacrifices, perseverance and passion, that dream has become reality. From the youth sector to the first team: salvations and promotions, emotions, difficult moments, joys. Over 190 battles fought together , a journey that continues».
The debut is now dated August 9, 2015, in the Italian Cup against Virtus Entella: it comes after a journey in the rossoblù youth system and the first season among the professionals played in Tuscany, in Tuttocuoio. A month later, the first championship match in B and the first goal against Crotone .
We have to wait another year for his debut in Serie A, 28 August 2016 2-2 with Roma . And his career, except for a few loans (twice to La Spezia, once to Parma, once to Lecce) will always continue with the same shirt. The first goal in Serie A comes in 2021-22, against Milan .
Deiola went from the tears of Venice to the joy of Bari , decisive in the immediate return to Serie A with 3 goals, 2 assists and 31 appearances. Last year too, with 27 appearances and a sea of kilometers covered on the pitch, he contributed to the salvation. This year he is not a regular starter, but when there is a need he always responds, with his characteristics: running, fatigue, closing down, recovering, helping his teammates. And, when he needs it, the goal: 13 scored in 191 appearances with the rossoblù shirt .
«Congratulations Ale, let's move forward together!», writes Cagliari Calcio, «happy» to announce the renewal.
