According to the editorial staff of TuttoMercatoWeb.com, Sampdoria is evaluating Filippo Melegoni, a 27-year-old Italian central midfielder who has been a key player in recent seasons at Carrarese. The same source indicates the club is considering Melegoni for a midfield reinforcement and that there would be no particular problems in starting a negotiation with Carrarese. Ds Iacopo Pasciuti stated to TMW that when a winning cycle begins, it is inevitable that some key players change over the years, as this is the nature of football. He added that after Antonio Calabro's departure, they had tried to accommodate other key players from that historic promotion who had expressed the desire to pursue different opportunities and to renew their ambitions and motivations. Pasciuti explained that accommodating these requests was a necessary step, both out of respect for their contributions to the history of Carrarese and to be able to plan their future and invest in new players. Melegoni joined Carrarese in January 2025 and is under contract until June 2027. According to Transfermarkt, the former Italy U21 international has a current market value of €450k.
