Cigarini confirms Swansea talks

By Football Italia staff

Swansea “are seriously interested in signing” Luca Cigarini, said his agent, and the Atalanta midfielder “is very happy.”

The negotiations were confirmed to ItaSportPress by representative Giovanni Bia.

“Swansea called several times and are seriously interested in signing him. If we reach an agreement, he’d be very happy with this new experience in the Premier League.

“Over the next few days there will be more talks and if all goes smoothly he could sign the new contract soon.”

Creative midfielder Cigarini just turned 29 last week and has a contract with Atalanta until June 2018.

His previous clubs include Parma, Napoli and Sevilla.

Cigarini has been in Bergamo on and off since July 2008, going on a series of loan spells until Napoli sold him outright in 2013.
