CAGLIARI – Michael Folorunsho is ready to wear the Cagliari jersey. The 27-year-old Roman midfielder is currently at Villa Stuart undergoing a mandatory medical. Once he passes, he will sign a contract binding him to the Rossoblu. He arrives from Napoli on loan with an option to buy, set at approximately €XNUMX million.
His move to Sardinia had been in the works for days, but contractual issues had slowed down the schedule. The medical examinations, initially scheduled for Monday, were postponed to today, also delaying his arrival at the training camp in Austria, where Cagliari will face Galatasaray in a friendly this evening. Folorunsho , returning from a season-long loan at Fiorentina, represents a physical and dynamic addition to Nicola's midfield. He's a player who can provide muscle, pace, and insertions in the new Rossoblu season.
Meanwhile, a chapter closes: Razvan Marin leaves Cagliari permanently. The Romanian midfielder joins AEK Athens on a permanent deal. The Sardinian club received a €1,4 million fee, which will also result in significant salary savings: €XNUMX million less in gross salary. Marin, in Greece, is set to sign a three-year contract.
It's interesting to see how Folorunsho adapts to Cagliari's style of play. We hope his experience can really help the team. Marin has done a good job, but now it's time for new challenges.
