"Why Cagliari? It's the only club that really wanted me. Inter, Barcelona and Chelsea? One must go where the heart and head tell him. Before deciding, I made my research. Giovanni and Giacomo Branchini, who are not my agents, but friends, told me about the environment," he began. 

 

The right-back also spoke about Leonardo Pavoletti, who seemed to have a big hand in bringing the Croatian to Sardinia.

 

"Then Pavoletti called me, which I liked very much. He loves to joke, like me, and is a great striker. I think he deserves a chance in the Italian national team. Barella (Cagliari midfielder) will surely become the leader in a couple of years for Italy," Srna concluded.
