QUOTE
Cagliari are set to make a decision on the future of Azzurri midfielder Pasquale Foggia later today.
The Lazio-owned 24-year-old has impressed in the Rossoblu shirt and earned his first Italy call-up against Georgia in October, but he is embroiled in controversy off the pitch.
A training ground fracas with teammate Davide Marchini became altogether more serious when the Triestina man accused Foggia of arranging for him to be assaulted in a bar.
Foggia denies the accusations, but he has been frozen out of the squad, despite enjoying some support from President Massimo Cellino.
“There are two options – either there is an improvement and clarification with the club and a clearing of the air or he will consider leaving,†Foggia’s agent Tiberio Cavallari told Radio Kiss Kiss.
“As far as the Marchini situation is concerned, we will clarify our position in front of the judges.
“Just for the record, there is no medical certificate or official statement from Marchini against Foggia.
“Common sense suggests therefore that nobody arrived in a restaurant to punish anybody. There was no premeditation.â€
Sources suggest that today’s meeting will see Foggia ask to leave the Stadio Sant’Elia in the hope of finding a place with hometown club Napoli.
“There are always songs against Pasquale at the stadium that are based on his Neapolitan origins,†Cavallari stated.
“It’s no mystery that Foggia wants to play for Napoli, but I can’t say that a move is probable yet.â€

Hmm... I'd take him but I'm sure Carlo don't want him. I'm 100% percent sure he won't come to Milan, I was just wondering about what you think. He'd be a great addition for Napoli though...
