Cristian Buonaiuto has emerged as an alternative option for Sampdoria if the transfer of Antonio Palumbo from Modena does not materialize. Buonaiuto is seen as a more economically feasible option and can play in multiple roles. Interest in Buonaiuto has surfaced in recent hours and could become concrete in the final days of the transfer market.

Sampdoria is monitoring Cristian Buonaiuto from Cremonese as a possible alternative to Antonio Palumbo. Nonetheless, Buonaiuto is not considered the primary choice at the moment. At 32 years old, Buonaiuto is on Sampdoria's radar, but the club appears to be focusing on other targets, such as Antonio Palumbo from Modena, for whom they have already submitted a 1.5 million euro bid. Despite the interest, Buonaiuto is not at the top of Sampdoria's list of preferences, much like Valoti from Monza, who was initially seen as a potential addition to the team but now seems to be on his way to Salernitana.
