Italian journalist Nicolò Schira reported that two Serie A clubs are interested in Panathinaikos right-back Davide Calabria and that the player would like to return to Italy. Calabria's name has recently been associated with clubs such as Cagliari and Sassuolo, which are monitoring the situation concerning the Panathinaikos player. According to Italian reports, the player has a positive view on the prospect of returning to Italy. It appears Calabria is dissatisfied in Greece and desires to be repatriated.

Cagliari is considering 29-year-old Italian defender Davide Calabria to reinforce their right flank for the upcoming season. Contacts have been initiated with Panathinaikos, which owns the defender's registration. During these talks, the name of Cagliari player Gabriele Zappa has also been discussed. Zappa is reportedly appreciated by the Greek club and could be included in the operation as a potential makeweight. Calabria, a seven-time capped Italy international, joined Panathinaikos in August 2025 and has a contract that runs until June 2028. His market value is €4.50m, according to Transfermarkt. He has also been linked with other Italian clubs, including Sassuolo, Fiorentina, Lazio, and Napoli.
