Sampdoria is working to add a defender. Ranieri's squad, 16th in the league, has allowed 27 goals in 18 matches. After the missed meeting with Simon Kjaer's agents, who's now an objective for Milan, the blucerchiati are focused on Lorenzo Tonelli, who could return to Samp after having returned to Napoli.
Samp was awaiting Napoli's release of the player, as he's yet to appear for the team this season. The goal was to have him at their disposal for Sunday's match against Brescia, but it was unlikely to happen.
In fact, the discussion has stalled. Samp and Napoli still need to agree on the wages, therefore it'll take more time to unlock the deal and arrive at the final handshake.
