Matteo Ricci stated that his experience at Sampdoria is ending because his contract expires at the end of the month. Ricci expressed his desire to find out his next step and to win a championship again, adding that it will be seen what happens.

Tuttomercato reports that Ricci's departure from Sampdoria is impending and that the experienced midfielder will also leave the club.

Matteo Ricci, who has an expiring contract, expressed a clear preference for staying in Genoa. He stated that one lives very well in Genoa and that his partner also agrees. He added that it is a city where football is a central part of life, and where the passion of the fans is evident throughout the week.

Ricci's salary is considered too high for Serie C, and the club is willing to keep him only if he agrees to a substantial salary reduction.
