Cagliari Calcio announces the transfer of Zito Luvumbo, who will join Real Club Deportivo Mallorca on loan until the end of the 2025\/26 season with an option to buy.<\/p>\n\n
Born in Luanda, Angola, in 2002, he arrived in Sardinia at just 18 years old, joining the Primavera team but quickly moving into the first team. The following season, after a brief stint with Como, he returned to the island: he scored 11 goals in 19 games, starring in the Primavera team’s run to the Scudetto semifinal. <\/p>\n\n
He made his first-team debut with an assist on August 5, 2022, in the 3-2 Coppa Italia victory against Perugia. He would be among the key players in Cagliari’s swift return to Serie A: he made 36 appearances, with 3 goals and 3 assists, and was a key player in the playoffs. In the first leg of the semifinal against Parma, he literally turned the tide: coming off the bench with the team trailing by two goals, he scored a brace, including the goal that made it 3-2. <\/p>\n\n
In the following two seasons in the top flight, he contributed to the club’s goal of staying up: in the 2023\/24 season, he played 30 games, scoring four goals and six assists; last season, he appeared 26 times, scoring two goals and providing the same number of assists. He has played 14 games in this first half of the season. <\/p>\n\n
Zito leaves Cagliari after a total of 117 matches: the Club thanks him warmly for his dedication to the Rossobl\u00f9 cause during these years in Sardinia, a long stage in his career that saw him grow as a man and a footballer, and wishes him the best for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22220,"template":"","tags":[344,1231,329,299,886],"news_cat":[278,276,274],"class_list":["post-22229","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-luvumbo-en","tag-mallorca","tag-pisacane-en","tag-serie-a-en","tag-transfer-market-en","news_cat-new-in","news_cat-latest-news","news_cat-first-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
