Fabio Borini had the opportunity to transfer to Reggiana during the transfer window; however, he declined this option as it did not appeal to him. Besides Reggiana, Borini also rejected offers from Carrarese and a potential swap deal with Palermo, expressing dissatisfaction with these options. Currently, he is focused on exploring international opportunities, with interest from the Turkish club Eyupspor and potential moves in the MLS, as he seeks a more fitting transfer after being excluded from Sampdoria's squad list for the season.
