Today’s edition of Tuttosport focuses on Accardi at Sampdoria and looks at some Rosanero players.
Pietro Accardi has decided to return to Sampdoria “to realize a dream that I have always had in my drawer”. We can read it in the letter with which the Sicilian manager bid farewell to Empoli yesterday. «Twelve years cannot be erased. Empoli was home, passion, emotion and warmth”, the words of the new technical director of the Blucerchiati who in the end – after the skirmishes of the last few days – got on well with president Corsi. Empoli and Sampdoria will maintain good relations and indeed the path could be explored as early as this summer. Accardi aims to build a Serie A team and could also draw on his former players already had in Tuscany.
One of the hottest targets is that of goalkeeper Perisan, 26 years old, owned by Empoli himself. An alternative to Stankovic who has returned to Inter and to Audero, himself a fresh former Nerazzurri player destined for sale this summer. On Accardi’s shopping list (which will be made official on Monday) there are many other names who can become targets for the new Sampdoria. In midfield, in addition to Stulac, Liam Henderson is liked: both played in Palermo last season.
In attack the names followed are Tutino – in the last season at Cosenza and owned by Parma – and La Mantia, currently back at Spal after his loan to Feralpisalò. The Borrelli situation is complicated after the redemption of Brescia, while Mancuso’s idea, now at Monza after his loan to Palermo, is more concrete. Some especially among the former Empoli players could have an additional reason to accept Sampdoria, that is to find Accardi again. A shopping list to think about, however, also in light of the transfers: Samp-Accardi yes and now revolution
THE DT LEAVES EMPOLI AFTER TWELVE YEARS
it promises to be a busy summer coming out, with Napoli joining Leoni – who has just been redeemed from Padova – as well as Turin, Juventus, Inter and Tottenham. Sampdoria is considering not immediately selling the defender born in 2006. At a corporate level, meanwhile, the debt restructuring plan – after the bankruptcy avoided at the last minute a year ago – has not yet put the club’s accounts in order: Sampdoria has closed the 2023 budget with a red of 29.8 million. The data was released one month after its approval. This figure is affected by the losses on the market, also considering the relegation to Serie B.
