Scuffet given all clear for transfer from Cagliari to Pisa

Cagliari have given the all-clear for goalkeeper Simone Scuffet to join Pisa after his experience on loan at Scudetto winners Napoli.

The shot-stopper turned 29 in May and was the understudy to Alex Meret at Napoli from January to June in 2025, making just one Serie A appearance.

Now he will have another top flight campaign at Pisa, who just earned promotion by finishing runners-up in Serie B behind Sassuolo last term.

Scuffet set for new experience at Pisa

Coach Alberto Gilardino asked to get Scuffet, who will take the gloves and sign a probable two-year contract.

A product of the Udinese youth academy, he played for Como, Kasimpasa, Spezia, APOEL Nicosia, CFR Cluj, Cagliari and Napoli.

His transfer from CFR Cluj to Cagliari in the summer of 2023 was for €2m plus bonuses and a 20 per cent cut of any future profit from a sale.

Although called up for the senior Italy squad at times, Scuffet never managed to get a cap at that level.
