Tuttosport reports that Sampdoria is taking concrete steps to sign 32-year-old Italian midfielder Mattia Valoti from Cremonese, where he is peripheral to the project and has not been on the squad list since the season's start. A January departure from Cremonese is considered probable for the midfielder. Valoti is one of the names being evaluated by the Sampdoria management, who are holding several meetings to identify reinforcements for the squad available to Foti and Gregucci, as the club aims to improve its difficult league position. Valoti joined Cremonese in February 2025 and has a contract that runs until June 2026. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €900k.
