Cagliari has reached the final stage to sell Gianluca Gaetano to Atalanta, with a price of €15M plus bonuses and a contract that runs until 2031. The deal is almost certain and all parties are confident.
What are the transfer terms?
The midfielder, born in 1999, is set to arrive in Bergamo for €15M plus variable bonuses. The contract lasts until 2031, giving the red‑black club a long‑term asset. Negotiations have progressed to the point of signing final documents, according to insiders.
How does Gaetano's departure affect Cagliari?
Cagliari currently sits 14th in Serie A with 43 points (11W‑10D‑17L) and a –13 goal difference (40 scored, 53 conceded). The team has won four of its last five games, the latest a 2‑1 victory over AC Milan on 24‑05‑2026. Losing Gaetano could thin the midfield, but the club already has potential replacements in the pipeline.

What are the prospects for Atalanta?
Atalanta adds a versatile player, capable of dictating tempo and contributing both offensively and defensively. With a contract through 2031, the club aims to solidify its midfield for a title push, currently 44 points behind Inter.
What to expect in the coming months?
Cagliari's summer window will be busy: the management is scouting options to replace Gaetano and strengthen the back line. Meanwhile, the team prepares for its final league match against Sampdoria, where it will look to claw back valuable points.
Gaetano's transfer is a key piece for both clubs: Cagliari can reinvest part of the proceeds, while Atalanta gains a ready‑made talent to impact immediately.
