One of the lively clubs on the transfer market so far, Sampdoria are set to welcome a new reinforcement for their defence. The Blucerchiati are in fact closing in on the signing of former Inter centre-half Jeison Murillo.
The Colombian, who spent six months on loan to Barcelona from Valencia, is very close to returning in Italy as the deal is down to the final details. The two clubs are in fact discussing a deal on the basis of a loan - with a 2 million loan fee - with an obligation to buy set at 12 million.
On the striker front, Sampdoria keep working on their main target Emiliano Rigoni, for whom they have already made an offer to Zenit St. Petersburg. An alternative to the Argentinian could be Reading's Yakou Méïté, formerly of PSG academy. For the Frenchman, born in 1996, the Champiosnhip side have set an asking price of 7/8 million euros
