Sampdoria has targeted Justo Giani, 27, from Universidad Catolica in Chile as the club is looking for new attacking players to replace players who will be departing. The Argentine forward, who holds an Italian passport, is described as a versatile player who can operate on either wing, as a second striker, or as an attacking midfielder. Giani, who has scored 14 goals in 31 appearances for his Chilean club, has a valuation of approximately 3 million euros and a contract set to expire in six months, with a potential transfer being his first move to Europe. He joined Universidad Catolica in January 2026 and has represented Argentina at the U20 level.
