Italian club Cagliari is actively seeking to strengthen their midfield options, even after securing a move for Alessandro Romano, as Gianluca Gaetano is expected to depart.
According to reports from Alfredo Pedulla, Leicester City’s Harry Winks has unexpectedly emerged as a target for the Sardinian outfit. Cagliari finds the profile of the former Tottenham player highly attractive. This comes at a time when Leicester City faces relegation to League One following their recent drop from the Championship. The English club has reportedly given the green light for the transfer, with Winks’ current contract set to expire in 2027.
Discussions are underway between Cagliari and Winks’ representatives to finalize wage agreements, while the two clubs are also negotiating the terms of the deal. The prospect of the transfer materializing is growing, potentially marking Winks’ second stint in Italy, following his previous loan spell at Sampdoria four years ago.
A Potential Career Resurgence for Winks
Once regarded as one of English football’s most promising talents and having showcased his abilities in European competitions for Tottenham, Winks’ career trajectory has not unfolded as anticipated. However, this potential move to Cagliari could offer him an opportunity to return to top-flight football and reignite his career.
Cagliari presents an intriguing project, and a player like Winks could play a significant role in its continued development.
