Bohdan Popov's agent stated that he can confirm there is interest in the player from Italian clubs and others. The agent added that the situation remains open.

Bohdan Popov, a Ukrainian forward born in 2007 who is a notable name in Serie B, is of interest to clubs. His performances in youth competitions have been noticed by scouts. While Atalanta and other Serie A clubs had monitored his development in previous months, recent rumors indicate that Cagliari has now taken significant action. The club has reportedly placed Popov on a list of potential replacements for Sebastiano Esposito, who is expected to leave Sardinia. This potential signing would be an investment for the future, consistent with Cagliari's policy of focusing on young prospects. The FC Empoli player has a contract until June 30, 2028, and has earned 9 caps and scored 3 goals for the Ukraine U19 national team. His current Transfermarkt market value is €3.00m.
