Folorunsho given all clear to join Cagliari from Napoli in 8m deal
As exclusively reported on July 5, Michael Folorunsho will be a new Cagliari player, arriving on loan with option to buy for €8m from Napoli.
It had been a bit of a surprise when we first made the link several weeks ago, but the Partenopei have now given the all-clear.
Folorunsho set for Cagliari medical
The midfielder is ready to undergo his medical tests with Cagliari over the next 48 hours, probably on Wednesday afternoon.
It is going to be a paid loan with option to buy for circa €8m, with Napoli accepting the terms of the formula.
The 27-year-old was part of the Italy squad at the EURO 2024 tournament and has two senior caps for the Azzurri.
A product of the Lazio youth academy, Folorunsho has been at Napoli since 2019, going on a series of loan spells to Bari, Reggina, Pordenone, Hellas Verona and in January 2025 to Fiorentina.
He has 54 Serie A appearances under his belt, scoring five goals and providing one assist.
