Simone Leonardi has moved from Sampdoria to Rimini. This transfer is part of a significant overhaul by Sampdoria during the winter transfer window, where several players, including Leonardi, were moved out as the club sought to rejuvenate its squad. The sporting director, Pietro Accardi, orchestrated this extensive reshuffle, aiming to bring in fresh talent while letting go of players who were considered to be at the end of their cycle with the club.
