Southampton right-back Yukinari Sugawara is set to join Italian club Cagliari on loan, with an option to purchase the player for €5.5 million. Multiple sources confirm the agreement and report that Cagliari has given permission for Sugawara to undergo medical tests. The 26-year-old defender played a key role for Japan at the recent World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Cagliari expects Sugawara to join them from Southampton, who acquired him from AZ Alkmaar for €7 million in the summer of 2024. Sugawara played 35 games for Southampton last season, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Prior to Southampton, he spent the previous season on loan at Werder Bremen, where he made 31 appearances and contributed with six assists.
