Lecce made an official request and contacted Cagliari regarding Tommaso Augello, but their proposal was firmly rejected by Cagliari. Augello holds significant importance for Cagliari, and finding a replacement would be challenging with the transfer window nearing its close. Despite Lecce's interest, as they were looking for a replacement for Patrick Dorgu after his move to Manchester United, Cagliari chose to keep Augello. The Sardinian club highlighted his crucial role in the team, particularly with the limited time left in the transfer window, which would make finding a replacement nearly impossible. Additionally, there are suggestions that Augello, who is under contract with Cagliari until June 30, 2025, might prolong his association with the club by signing a new contract.
