Hans Hateboer, a 31-year-old footballer currently with Rennes, has caught the attention of Cagliari as they aim to enhance their defensive lineup. The Dutch wing-back, who departed Italy in 2024 after playing for Atalanta to join the French club, might be on his way back to Serie A. Both Cagliari and Sassuolo are eager to fortify their defense, viewing Hateboer as a suitable addition. Fiorentina had previously expressed interest in him, which could lead to a transfer depending on their other dealings. With 189 Serie A appearances and 8 goals during his Atalanta tenure, Hateboer's experience in the Italian league makes him a sought-after player. His contract with Rennes is set to expire in June 2026, and Transfermarkt values him at €2.5 million.
