Cagliari has confirmed Andrea Belotti with a one‑year extension, while the club is eyeing the signing of Mergim Vojvoda to strengthen the wing. The renewed contract guarantees the rossoblù an experienced striker for the 2026‑27 season.

What has been decided?

Belotti's renewal was announced by Gianluca Di Marzio in a video interview. The 31‑year‑old forward signed until 2027, giving manager Diego López a reliable goal‑scorer. At the same time, the board has opened talks for Mergim Vojvoda, a Kosovar winger from Como, who logged 30 appearances, 2 goals and 2 assists last season under Fabregas.

Why is Vojvoda on the table?

Vojvoda is seen as a versatile profile: he can cover the whole flank, deliver accurate crosses and help with high pressing. After a solid season at Como, his market value has risen, yet Cagliari appears ready to invest to improve its wide play, a weakness highlighted this campaign. The club hopes his speed and chance‑creation will ease the burden on Belotti.

How does this affect the league standing?

The rossoblù sits 14th in Serie A with 43 points, derived from 11 wins, 10 draws and 17 losses in 38 games. The defense has conceded 53 goals while scoring 40, leaving a –13 goal difference. Despite the position, Cagliari ended the season on a four‑game winning run, the latest a 2‑1 victory over AC Milan on 24 May 2026. The team trails the leaders Inter by 44 points.

What are the next fixtures?

Cagliari hosts Sampdoria on 23 July 2026. After the recent winning streak, the side wants to solidify its place and aim higher in the table. Belotti's extension and a possible Vojvoda arrival will be key to maintaining tactical and offensive continuity.

What to expect from the market?

If Vojvoda’s transfer materialises, Cagliari will have a more balanced option on the wing, allowing Belotti to focus on finishing. The board has already signalled that the budget will be handled prudently, avoiding overspend while targeting precise reinforcements. Fans are watching closely how these moves will shape the squad in the second half of the season.
