While the managerial situation seems to be extremely uncertain, with Di Francesco getting closer to terminating his contract, Sampdoria are working to bolster a team that has been struggling massively in the first part of the season. In this regard, president Ferrero and director Osti have closed a deal for free agent Andrea Bertolacci, with the mifielder expected to arrive in Genova today and pen a one-year deal with the Blucerchiati.
Bertolacci, who played four season with city-rivals Genoa, won't most probably rejoin his former manager at Lecce Eusebio Di Francesco, as the club and the manager are nearing an agreement for the contract termination.
