Cagliari confirm Avelar to Torino

Cagliari confirmed there is a deal in place for Danilo Avelar to Torino in part-exchange for Antonio Barreca.

Avelar has been one of the most impressive figures in the Sardinian squad, but was unable to avoid their relegation into Serie B.

“The Avelar-Barreca operation is true,” said director of sport Stefano Capozucca in a Press conference today.

“Barreca is a 20-year-old who last season was among the best full-backs in Lega Pro with Cittadella.”
