According to CalcioMercato, Sampdoria has a renewed interest in Nicholas Pierini, who is a 27-year-old Italian winger for Sassuolo. Sampdoria has followed the Sassuolo attacking winger in the past, and their interest has reportedly resurfaced as they consider replacements in the event Simone Pafundi leaves. The management is targeting Pierini for his technical qualities, such as his ability to get past defenders and provide solutions that the team currently does not possess. The transfer is considered very complicated because of the player's high cost and his contract, which is valid until 2027. As a result, the only feasible structure for a deal is a loan with an obligation to buy, which would serve to distribute the financial cost. The feasibility of the transfer is considered very low, unless the ownership of Sampdoria decides to make a significant and immediate financial commitment. This season in Serie A, Nicholas Pierini has made 11 appearances and has not recorded any goals or assists. He has three caps for the Italy U19 national team. Transfermarkt estimates the player's market value to be €2.60m, and Palermo has also been linked with him.
