Fabio Borini, who played a crucial role in the recent derby, was not included in the squad for the upcoming match. While this decision has been described as technical, it could have implications for the transfer market. With Sampdoria currently having six forwards, Borini's opportunities for play have been limited. Additionally, his substantial salary is a factor being considered. The sporting director, Pietro Accardi, had attempted to sell Borini during the summer, but was unsuccessful. Borini, who has a strong attachment to both the city and the team, had insisted on staying. However, he has been left out of numerous training matches lately. If this situation persists, a transfer appears to be unavoidable.

Fabio Borini was excluded from the squad traveling to Cesena for the upcoming match. Throughout the week, he was not involved in the tactical practices, and the return of Pedrola has resulted in him being left out of the coach's rotations. Borini, who was specifically sought after by Pirlo, has a high salary, which has made it challenging for Sampdoria to find a new club for him during the summer. The ongoing exclusions suggest that Borini may be on the market, with expectations that the situation will continue to attract attention in Genoa in the coming months.

Fabio Borini, an attacker for Sampdoria, was considered a probable departure during the summer transfer window. It was perceived as a luxury to keep him as a potential substitute with a Serie A salary of 1.3 million euros per season. Until now, Borini has been consistently in competition for a starting position and has not been a regular starter under Sottil or Pirlo.

There were talks about a potential transfer of Fabio Borini abroad. However, the transfer did not materialize, and Borini remained at Sampdoria.
