Roberto Piccoli he is the driving force behind Cagliari. An intelligent market operation brought him to Sardinia last summer. Director Bonato, having received the approval from the president, closed the agreement with Atalanta. He permanently sold Sulemana to the Bergamo players and brought home Zortea, Adopo and, indeed, Piccoli, a loan with the right of redemption already set at 12 million euros. A bargain, in light of the numbers.
Piccoli scored two games in a row in Serie A for the third time in his career. With four goals, he is Cagliari’s top scorer in the league and does not seem willing to stop. It is easy to hypothesize that he will soon surpass his record of five goals, set last year with Lecce. He is just one target away from achieving it after playing just 14 games, as today’s edition of the highlights Corriere dello Sport.
In 2021, at the beginning of the season, Piccoli had had a fair amount of space in Atalanta, making 12 appearances and scoring one goal. Then, the loan to Genoa, where the wheel turned in reverse: five appearances and no goals. Ours went in search of glory at Empoli, where in two seasons he played 20 games and scored two goals. Lecce has seen a slight improvement, the transfer to Cagliari seems to have been the right move for this powerful and generous attacker to blossom.
