Among the most surprising teams at the start of this Serie A season is Fabio Pisacane’s Cagliari, which has made an applauded start with 12 points from a possible 15. The important run has been driven by the performances of Paul Mendy, a 2007‑born Senegalese striker who has come into the sights of the league’s big clubs. His displays on the pitch have not gone unnoticed, attracting the attention of the main Italian clubs ready to bet on his huge potential.

Positive scout reports and the qualities of the 2007‑born

According to Calciomercato.com, the reports compiled by Milan’s scouts have also been very positive. The profile of the young centre‑forward is very appealing to the Aldo Rossi street for its structure and growth potential: Mendy has physique (he is 197 centimetres tall), technique and knows how to move for the team. He still lacks finishing, also because of his young age, but the Rossoneri are convinced he has a great future. The Milan management considers him a prospect of great promise and value, ideal for the Rossoneri technical project.

Cagliari’s stance and the outlook for the future

Milan’s interest comes amid a genuine market tangle, as Inter have also set their sights on the striker, having watched him live several times and receiving favourable opinions from the new sporting director Dario Baccin, while Lazio, where Gennaro Gattuso appreciates his athletic qualities and ability to attack depth. In this market context, Cagliari holds his registration and is heavily invested in Mendy. The red‑blue club has already informed interested clubs that it does not intend to sell him in the January window to avoid the risk of weakening the squad mid‑season. Discussions about his future will be postponed to spring, when Cagliari can evaluate offers with greater calm. With Inter, Milan and Lazio continuing to follow him closely in the coming months, the Rossoneri remain vigilant and ready to act at the right moment to stay ahead of the competition and secure the young talent.
