The agent of Cagliari midfielder Nahitan Nandez expects him to leave for a bigger club this year.

Pablo Bentancur admits Italy's biggest clubs want the Uruguay international.

"At this moment, there is a financial crisis in football, so as Nandez is the most expensive player in the history of Cagliari, it's only right that the club is asking for those figures to sell him," agent Bentancur told Sport890.

“Nandez is worth that money.

“Napoli made a concrete proposal, while in the past Inter and Juventus had done the same. Now the player is recovering from his knee injury and I am sure he'll be back soon, as it was only a ligament strain, there is no tear.

“He likes complicated challenges and puts his heart into them. I am convinced he'll go to a top club."
