De Luca is on the market after a strong second half of the season. Sampdoria prefers to sell him now to avoid increasing his salary. Bari has shown interest in him.

Manuel De Luca has attracted interest from several Serie B clubs, including Bari. De Luca has a contract with Sampdoria until 2025, and the club may consider selling him to raise funds. At Bari, De Luca would reunite with Longo, his former coach from Torino's youth team.
