Guido Angelozzi stated that Cagliari targeted Dominguez from Bologna and were close to a signing, but Bologna did not allow the transfer. Angelozzi mentioned he had started negotiations and that an agreement was reached for a permanent acquisition of Dominguez, which included a percentage of any future resale for Bologna. According to the player's agent, Dominguez's arrival was expected, but Bologna first needed to find a replacement. Angelozzi said he was disappointed that the deal could not be completed.

According to Tuttomercato, Cagliari was pursuing Dominguez, but Bologna resisted because an adequate replacement was not found.

Cagliari is considering Bologna's winger Benjamín Domínguez as a possible replacement for Zito Luvumbo. The interest in Domínguez is dependent on a vacancy being created by Luvumbo's departure. The player has also attracted interest from other clubs, including Fiorentina and Roma.
