Borrelli increasingly important for Cagliari after free transfer

Gennaro Borrelli’s brace against Genoa today proves the 25-year-old has become a key player for Cagliari after the serious knee injury that will force Andrea Belotti to the sidelines for the whole season.

Borrelli, born in 2000, is in the prime of his maturity and has always done very well in Serie B.

After leaving Brescia as a free agent last summer, he had time to pick the best destination for himself.

The striker could have picked one of the four or five Serie B clubs that made him an offer, but ultimately chose Cagliari.

Over the last few games, he’s proved to be Serie A material, even scoring a brace against Genoa, which, hadn’t it been for Elia Caprile’s howler, would have resulted in a win for the Sardinians.
