Andrea Compagno, who has recently impressed in China with 17 goals in 22 matches, is now a free agent. Sampdoria is considering signing him, as he has also attracted interest from Serie A clubs and Rapid Bucharest. Sampdoria is actively seeking to strengthen their offensive lineup following the loan of Antonino La Gumina to Cesena. Compagno, who has had a unique career path playing in lower leagues in Italy and later establishing himself abroad in San Marino and Romania, is viewed as a potential addition to meet Coach Leonardo Semplici's desire for a physically strong central forward. The club is looking to bring him to Genoa, although they are facing competition from other interested parties.
