Cagliari president Tommaso Giulini spoke today to Sky Sport and revealed his side have an agreement in place with Roma for Nicolo Barella. These are his words:

“Since 11 June, I had an agreement with Inter for Barella on the fixed amount, only the bonus portion was lacking. However, they (Inter) disappeared for 20 days. I have found an agreement with Roma, which has been accepted – there’s a complete agreement. Barella will take two days to reflect then decide on what he wants to do. He has never been tied to anything and has never had an agreement with anyone. We hope that the matter is closed soon.”
