Cagliari Calcio have officially announced the signing of Argentine defender José Luis Palomino, bolstering their defensive lineup ahead of the new season. The 34-year-old centre-back joins from Atalanta, where he had a successful tenure, and has signed a one-year contract with the option for an extension.
Palomino’s arrival is seen as a crucial move for Cagliari, especially as the club aims to strengthen its defense following the departure of veteran Diego Godín. Known for his aerial prowess and tackling ability, Palomino has the experience and skills necessary to make an immediate impact in Serie A.
The Argentine defender expressed his enthusiasm for the move, stating that he is eager to contribute to his new team. His familiarity with Italian football, having played in the league for several years, will be an asset as he integrates into Cagliari’s system under coach Claudio Ranieri.
During his time at Atalanta, Palomino established himself as a reliable defender, making over 150 appearances and helping the team achieve significant success, including qualification for European competitions. His experience in high-pressure situations will be invaluable for Cagliari as they look to improve their standing in the league.
