Semih Kılıçsoy has sparked fresh momentum with Cagliari, scoring four times since late December and pushing himself back into the conversation as a key starter.
That run matters because he is reported to be set to lead the line in Cagliari’s trip to Roma. The exact timing of the fixture has been unclear in reports, but the point is the same: a tougher stage is arriving quickly.
After the most recent goals, Vincenzo Montella offered public backing while keeping the standard high. Montella said the forward has improved markedly over the last two months, but stressed that the next step is producing more regularly.

He also highlighted the support around the player inside the club, naming staff member Fabio Pisacane and pointing to the wider Cagliari structure as part of the safety net helping Kılıçsoy settle and grow.
The stakes aren’t just domestic. Montella also coaches Turkey, and he has framed consistency as a key selection filter. A four-goal stretch can earn attention, but it doesn’t guarantee a long-term place.
