Tuttomercato reports on Sampdoria's interest in Mirko Pigliacelli, a 33-year-old Italian, as a potential goalkeeping solution. Sampdoria are exploring alternatives after a move for Emil Audero did not proceed due to the player's high salary demands. A potential deal for Pigliacelli is complicated because he is currently in negotiations to renew his contract with his club, Catanzaro. Avellino has also been linked with the goalkeeper. Pigliacelli has two caps for Italy's U21 team and a current market value of €400k, according to Transfermarkt.
