Official: Cagliari sign Isla

By Football Italia staff

Cagliari have officially confirmed the signing of Juventus wing-back Mauricio Isla for €4m.

The Chilean international arrived in Sardinia yesterday, having already taken his medical at Rome’s Villa Stuart.

“Mauricio Isla is Rossoblu,” the Isolani confirmed in a statement on their official website.

“The player, who recently won the Copa America with Chile, has moved to Cagliari outright, signing a contract which will tie him to the club for the next three seasons.

“‘El Huaso’ as he’s known by fans is ready for a new adventure in Serie A. He has chosen his favourite shirt number: 3.”

Isla joined Juventus from Udinese in 2012, but failed to hold down a place in the team and spent the last two seasons on loan with Queens Park Rangers and Marseille respectively.

The wing-back’s contract is worth around €900,00 per season.

Juventus released a statement confirming the financial details of the operation.

“The Chilean defender’s registration rights have been acquired for a fee of €4 million, to be paid in three financial years, generating a positive economic effect of approximately €0.7 million.”
