The transfer to Cagliari has been a godsend for Elia Caprile. The goalkeeper, who developed his football skills in England at Leeds, was bought by Napoli after a great season in Serie B with Bari, which ended with a defeat in the playoff final, precisely against the Sardinians. Since last January, the Neapolitans have sold him to Giulini’s club, where he has truly blossomed. Now, many top clubs dream of the 2001-born player as the goalkeeper of the future.

Inter-Milan Derby for Elia Caprile: Cagliari asks for 25/30 million

Cagliari has a future capital gain in its hands, but for now, they are enjoying his performances. Elia Caprile has absolutely exploded in Sardinia. Last season, Antonio Conte had chosen to keep him in the squad as Meret’s backup, but in January he moved to Cagliari in an exchange with Scuffet, to give him the playing time he deserves. Despite many calling for him to stay, in the summer Napoli made other assessments, turning to Milinkovic-Savic and selling Caprile outright to Cagliari for around 8 million. With the former Bari player between the posts, defensive solidity has increased and goals conceded have decreased, also thanks to a rock-solid defense with Mina and Luperto.

The excellent performances of the 2001-born goalkeeper have attracted the attention of many top clubs. Leading the way are Milan and Inter, who next year will both need to change their starting goalkeeper. Sommer, now 37, is starting to show the limitations that come with age, while the Rossoneri will most likely have to part ways with Maignan, who will not renew his contract with the club.

Cagliari knows the talent they have on their hands and does not want to let him go easily. The price set by the Sardinian club to sell their goalkeeper is 25/30 million. Beware of possible interest from abroad, although at the moment no club seems to have come forward.
