Key points

Cagliari has requested Sebastiano Esposito to report for a medical check-up with the club doctor. This step comes two days after the striker submitted a medical certificate. According to Italian reports, the club wants an internal assessment before further decisions are made. The chance that Esposito will respond to the call seems slim, so his absence is likely to continue and the situation will worsen further.
The unrest surrounding the attacker is closely linked to a stalled contract negotiation. Esposito has now left Cagliari's training camp in Temù (province of Brescia). The discussions have been dragging on for quite some time: the player would bet on a new annual salary of approximately 1.7 million euros, while he currently earns around 800,000 euros. Cagliari are reportedly willing to pay around 1.2 million euros. That gap appears to be too big for the time being, which has increased frustrations and puts Esposito's future in Sardinia in doubt.
The market value and the striker's possible next step are now fodder for speculation. Within Italy, Atalanta, Napoli and PhD candidate Como, among others, would monitor the situation, while clubs from the English league are also showing interest. Club president Tommaso Giulini previously emphasized that Esposito is an important asset for Cagliari and that he does not rate him lower than comparable strikers in the competition. A price tag of around 25 million euros is mentioned in the corridors; a more realistic range is considered to be between 18 and 20 million euros for a possible deal.
For Cagliari the timing is awkward. The team is in the middle of preparation and the technical staff wants clarity about the available offensive lines. As long as Esposito does not return to the training field and there is no breakthrough in contract negotiations, the sporting plan for thebe under pressure at the start of the competition. A compromise on salary and conditions could clear the air, but a sale with a suitable offer is also a possible scenario.
The coming days will be crucial: whether a medical check by the club doctor will still take place, or whether the parties will definitively aim for a break. Meanwhile, external interest increases the longer the impasse continues. Cagliari will want to prevent the value of its player from suffering due to the unrest, while Esposito seems to be looking for sporting and financial security. To be continued in the transfer market.
What's happening now
It is likely that Esposito will continue his absence, which could further complicate negotiations. Cagliari must now decide whether to increase their offer or let the player go, which could lead to a transfer to another Serie A club or even abroad. The coming days will be crucial for both Esposito and Cagliari as the transfer window approaches.
