Sampdoria is contemplating a last-minute acquisition of Manuel De Luca to enhance their attacking lineup. De Luca, who shares a history with Sampdoria, is regarded as a possible addition to partner with Coda. Despite facing competition at Cremonese and his probable position on the bench against Sassuolo, Sampdoria's interest persists. According to La Repubblica, the transfer is complex but still feasible. The club is determined to strengthen their forward options, with De Luca, a familiar figure, potentially returning to Genova. His role at Cremonese is not prominent, considering the presence of players like Bonazzoli, Johnsen, Vazquez, and Sanabria, alongside new signings such as Vardy and Moumbagna, which could restrict his opportunities. Moreover, Venezia has also expressed genuine interest in De Luca. At Sampdoria, he could be utilized either as a lone striker or in conjunction with Coda, providing a versatile option for the team's tactical framework.
