Agent Graziano Battistini told Radio Punto Nuovo: "He had a great desire to play consistently, despite the disappointment of leaving Napoli immediately. These were hectic days, but he will remain the Azzurri's number one fan until the end of the season.
"Now he wants to show that he is a top-level goalkeeper. He had an excellent relationship with (Antonio) Conte, he will bring with him the experience of being a top coach in a top club.
"In Cagliari he will find particular pressures, but all the places become challenging when you face them in a certain way. In Empoli he was the heir of (Guglielmo) Vicario and with (Davide) Nicola he created an excellent feeling.
