Schick already passed by J Medical for his medicals with Juventus, Skriniar close to Inter and Bruno Fernandes ready to turn back to his Portugal: many outgoing mercato operations get Massimo Ferrero's Sampdoria involved but in these hours the focus is on operations that could make new players join the team.
Many names; starting from the left back situation, the Doria has decided that it would be Nicola Murru to be the reinforcement asked by Marco Giampaolo from a long time. The deal should be concluded in the beginning of the coming week. The contacts are still ongoing between the two clubs and Alessandro Lucci's agent to overcome the difficulties and close the case. The Sarde club asks €12m, the agreement should be on a €6-7m fee and Luca Cigarini or Vasco Regini as a counterpart.
On the right-side, the lead brings to Silvan Widmer from Udinese: there has been a meeting with the bianconeri for the 24-year-old. Udinese asks €10m while Sampdoria would like to insert Jacopo Sala in the operation to lower the costs; there could be several news happening in the next week. The first name to replace Skriniar coming is Vlad Julian Churches from Napoli, who got Marco Giampaolo's approval.
The club is in the meantime working on abroad solutions: Jorge Merè, 20-year-old Spanish, from Sporting Gijon and Mauricio Lemos, 22-year-old who also got Roma's attention, from Las Palmas are other scouted defenders. Omar Colley, 27-year-old from Genk, is another name for the defense.
Regarding the midfield, Josip Ilicic is the number one candidate to fill in Fernandes' position as Sampdoria already made a proposal to Fiorentina. As what concerns Schick's substitute, Sampdoria wants Gianluca Caprari from Inter to be inserted in Skriniar's deal.
With Luis Muriel that could leave Genova as his agent Alessandro Lucci will meet Lazio (with Valencia and Sevilla also interested), Diego Falcinelli could come. He played for Crotone last season and played a big part in avoiding the relegation but belongs to Sassuolo. Sampdoria could also invest for the future with Dawid Kownacki, a 20-year old striker from Lech Poznan who asks €5m when Samp offered 3.
