Sebastiano Esposito appears set to leave Cagliari and Hull City can take advantage of the chaos surrounding his situation. The striker joined the Sardinian side permanently in 2025 and enjoyed a good first season. He contributed to 12 Serie A goals, becoming the focal point of Fabio Pisacane’s attack. However, things have turned ugly. The player is at war with Cagliari and Hull City have stepped forward for his signature. Player has left Cagliari training camp SardiniaPost report an irreparable rift has formed between Esposito and Cagliari. The striker was part of the club’s training sessions in Sardinia but left just before they were about to fly to Germany for pre-season friendlies. He didn’t inform anyone at the club about this, despite being part of the squad for the friendlies beforehand. This is seen as ‘extremely serious behaviour’ and it is difficult for the rift to heal. Offer from the Tigers TuttoSport go into detail, clarifying that contract talks are behind this. The two parties have not reached an agreement over a renewal, with Esposito’s agent Mario Giuffredi saying that his exit from the camp was pre-approved. In the meantime, Giuffredi has also received an offer from Hull City, who are keen. Atalanta have stepped forward, with the newspaper convinced that Esposito will leave Cagliari in the next few days. He is valued at €20m, having joined for only €5m in 2025. Our take: Big opportunity for Hull City Esposito was once one of the brightest young talents in Italy. During his time at Inter Milan, he spent several loans away from the club and has scored goals everywhere – be it Serie A or Serie B. The last two seasons have been particularly impressive. He is still only 24-years-of-age and can develop further. Due to. the rift, Hull City would push for a discount for a player who is likely to improve. The Tigers can take advantage of this and then sell Esposito on for a profit in the next few years.
