Report Belotti failed Cagliari medical and remains a free agent | OneFootball

Andrea Belotti had been ready to sign on for Cagliari as a free agent after his contract expired, but the former Roma and Torino striker failed a medical.

The 32-year-old’s experience in Sardinia was short-lived and unlucky, as he joined them for free in September 2025 on a one-year contract.

Within weeks of putting pen to paper, he suffered a serious knee injury with the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.

It kept the centre-forward out for most of the season, returning in April 2026 for a handful of substitute appearances.

Belotti was eager to resume at Cagliari

Cagliari had been ready to welcome Belotti back, as after all he did score two goals in eight official Serie A games for the club, and had agreed a new short-term contract.

However, the Corriere dello Sport claim that Il Gallo failed a medical test, so any decision on his future will have to wait.

Most famous for his years at Torino, the striker scored 116 goals in 356 Serie A appearances, along with 32 assists.

He also found the net 12 times in 44 senior caps for Italy.
