Tuttomercato reports that Sampdoria is imminently signing 19-year-old Italian goalkeeper Tommaso Martinelli from Fiorentina on a dry loan. The player is expected to move during this transfer window to gain playing time and experience, as he is behind the Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea, with the return of Danish goalkeeper Christiansen also being a factor. The transfer will only be a dry loan because Fiorentina wants to maintain control of Martinelli for the following season, viewing a move to Serie B as a chance for him to develop. Martinelli has made 0 appearances in Serie A this season; his contract with Fiorentina runs until June 2029, and his market value is €2.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
