Sampdoria are seeking a definite agreement with Ilicic after finding a deal with Fiorentina

Bruno Fernandes went to Portugal after finalizing his transfer to Sporting CP. Now, Sampdoria are seeking his replace and would like to gift Josip Ilicic to manager Marco Giampaolo so he can use his favored 4-3-1-2. Sampdoria and Ilicic are still working to find an agreement. Meanwhile the Blucerchati have struck a deal with Fiorentina for 4.5 million plus bonus. The two clubs will meet this afternoon to finalize the deal. Ilicic could possibly join Sampdoria very soon.
