Sampdoria are pursuing a left-sided player and are in negotiations for Franco Carboni, who is owned by Inter. The Ligurian club is discussing a straight loan with the clubs involved and the player's entourage for the 2003-born Argentinian, who has made 16 appearances for Empoli this season. Although Mantova is also reportedly interested in Carboni, this option is not considered very appealing, and the player is said to be in talks only with Sampdoria.
