Cagliari president Tommaso Giulini has declared Diego Godin the biggest signing of their history.
Godin joined the Sardinians this summer from Inter Milan.
“From the fan's point of view, I have a huge regret," Giulini told Tuttosport. “At a certain point last year, Cagliari proved to be a great team with Radja Nainggolan on the pitch.
“From a club's point of view, given the economic problems in football, I say that in the end I'm happy the negotiations didn't go through, given the costs.
“I'm sorry that this negotiation of the last few days, last minute, has overshadowed the person which I believe is one of the most important signings in the history of Cagliari: Godin.
“Godin is a great player of high quality. He's a leader with a lot of experience and several triumphs behind him."
