Francesco Zampano is being considered for a potential swap deal with Sampdoria, which would involve him moving in exchange for Fabio Borini and Fabio Depaoli. Zampano, a full-back, has his roots in the youth ranks of Sampdoria. This deal forms part of broader negotiations between Sampdoria and Venezia, also involving the Danish striker Christian Gytkjaer moving to Sampdoria, as the clubs look into various exchange and transfer options. Although Fabio Borini prefers to remain at his current club, he is seen as surplus to requirements by Sampdoria. Meanwhile, Depaoli, who has recently renewed his contract with Sampdoria, continues to attract interest from other Serie A teams such as Monza. Zampano, born in 1993, could potentially take Depaoli's place in the squad numerically.
