Alessandro Romano rises at Cagliari amid Italy call-up and transfer interest

Cagliari Calcio is experiencing a highly successful start to the Serie A season under manager Fabio Pisacane. The team currently holds fourth place and boasts the best defense in the league. Key contributors include Adam Obert, who has become a mainstay in the starting lineup, and a collective defensive unit that has led to record-breaking performances for the club.

Central to this momentum is 20-year-old midfielder Alessandro Romano. Originally born in Switzerland and having played for their youth national teams, Romano recently chose to represent Italy. His standout performances for Cagliari have earned him a call-up from Italy manager Roberto Mancini, with reports indicating he may start in the upcoming Nations League match against Belgium.

Romano’s rapid rise has also triggered significant transfer interest. Major Italian clubs, including Inter Milan, Juventus, and AC Milan, are reportedly monitoring the player. While Romano was transferred from Roma to Cagliari this summer for approximately 6.5 million euros, his market value has reportedly tripled due to his consistent playing time and international recognition.
