Cagliari targets Hellas Verona player Rafik Belghali

Cagliari is targeting Hellas Verona player Rafik Belghali to strengthen their right flank. The move follows Cagliari's unsuccessful attempt to secure Romano Floriani Mussolini from Lazio on a loan with an option to buy.

Belghali, a versatile 2002-born player, is considered an ideal tactical fit for both 3-5-2 and four-man defensive schemes. Despite competition from other clubs, Cagliari aims to accelerate negotiations for the player.

Meanwhile, several Italian clubs are active in the summer transfer market. Hellas Verona has seen significant roster changes, including the arrivals of players such as Tengstedt and Harroui, and departures including Cabal and Noslin. Udinese has also updated its squad with several acquisitions and sales, while Venezia continues to adjust its roster with various incoming and outgoing transfers.
