The Danish striker joined the Bluebirds for a then club record fee of £7.5m from Copenhagen in the 2013 summer transfer window.
But he endured a miserable time in the Welsh capital, failing to score a single goal in his 11 appearances for the Bluebirds before returning to his home club after just six months with Cardiff.
To rub salt into the wounds, Cornelius went on to score on his first competitive game back with Copenhagen where he has gone on to net 27 times in 100 appearances.
And Football Italia are reporting that the former Cardiff forward is close to joining Serie A outfit Atalanta for a fee of €3.5m after an impressive campaign in which he has scored 11 goals for Copenhagen.
The Italian side are currently fifth in Serie A, just one point behind fourth-placed Lazio with six games left of the domestic season.
Find it difficult to believe but it could be worth up to £2.5m

Andreas Cornelius is lost to FC Copenhagen and continues after judging his career in Series A.
According to BT's information, the big attacker was unable to workout with the rest of the squad in FC Copenhagen on Thursday but was in Italy to look at the conditions in Atalanta, who are ready for a contract.
The players had free wednesday and Thursday after the victory over Brøndby on Monday, which several used to go abroad to enjoy themselves in cafes and shopping districts.
Andreas Cornelius, however, flew to Bergamo to visit Atalanta, who is in a surprising fifth place in Serie A and therefore looks forward to playing European football in the coming season.
Ståle Solbakken revealed Monday that he and Andreas Cornelius worked to find a new club for the attacker, and after negotiating with Cypriot Pieros Sotiriou from APOEL, the replacement appears to be found.
The price is according to BT's information in the region of 4 million. Euro, of which a very large part must be forwarded to Cardiff, which in winter 2014 helped sell Andreas Cornelius back to FC Copenhagen for about 30 million. DKK after half a year previously given between two and three times as much.
The interest in Andreas Cornelius has been quite nice and there have been allegations for both the Premier League and the Bundesliga. Now, however, everything suggests that it will be Serie A and Atalanta, which runs with the captain-strong national team striker.
Andreas Cornelius is far from the first Dane in Atalanta, otherwise known as one of Italy's strongest clubs in talent development. In the late 40's and early 50's, the North Italian club was a favorite goal for Danish players with the attackers Jørgen Leschly Sørensen and Karl Aage Hansen at the forefront, and in the 1960s Flemming Nielsen was a big profile in Bergamo.
If he goes through, Cornelius will either replace or take up the match with 21-year-old Italian national team Andrea Petegna, who has played 9th position in coach Gian Piero Gasperini's successful system.
