The sporting director of Cagliari, Pierluigi Carta, took advantage of the presentation of Ounas, the latest acquisition by the Sardinians, to return to the very long Nainggolan negotiation. A negotiation that did not end positively but which, probably, did not see its last chapter written.
“We are very sorry. The expectations were high and we were convinced we could close. At 5.15pm Giulini’s cell phone rang and it was Inter, it was Steven Zhang. The president was convinced he was doing it. But after 15-20 minutes I saw him embittered and dejected as never before because there were no conditions for his return. In the meantime, I received the green light for Ounas. The president did not give up and tried to the last and then we had to leave the Nainggolan affair with rationality and not as fans. We made a choice and closed Ounas. He was very disconsolate and left. Cagliari must exist and we must always play Serie A, if we hadn’t held back Giulini, perhaps even making a mistake, he would have offered more than our possibilities for Radja ”.
But Cagliari did not give up the idea of bringing the Belgian back to Sardinia.
“If there are the conditions we will try the negotiation again. The boy’s will has always been there, the feeling was that Inter didn’t want to get rid of him. If Inter will lower their demands then we will try, otherwise not. We don’t want to step longer than the leg“, confirmed Carta.
