Romano Follows Barella's Path? Baccin Monitors Situation, Future is Now...

September 24, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

Cagliari currently fields a remarkable team, not just for their 12 points in 5 matches, but for their sustained scouting success over the years. Numerous players have emerged from Sardinia to make significant strides on Italy's biggest stages. The latest example is Palestra, who moved to Chelsea for approximately 70 million euros. Although owned by Atalanta, Cagliari provided him the platform to showcase his potential.

A similar development is underway with Mendy, a product of their youth academy, and Maldini, who has scored 3 goals in his first 5 games. Romano is also making waves. His explosive start has caught the attention of Mancini, leading to a call-up to the senior national team.

Romano's talent is undeniable, and Inter aims to capitalize on this, leveraging their good relationship with Giulini. A negotiation will require time, time needed to determine if this initial success is sustained or if a decline follows. Regardless, Inter wants to be involved. They have already initiated contact with the Sardinian club, envisioning a future for Romano akin to Barella's career trajectory.

Nicolò Barella, now a central figure for Inter, could serve as an inspiration for the Italian-Swiss prospect. Such a transition would echo a significant precedent and hopefully follow a similar successful narrative.
