Sampdoria, having taken Esposito, also arrives Begic and Mitoglou. The green light from Palermo is awaited for Brunori

The market of Sampdoria comes to life with the first operations closed in these minutes. In fact, the company has defined the first soap opera of this market session, namely the arrival of Salvatore Esposito give it Spicea midfielder for whom an agreement was reached after having satisfied the latest requests of the Ligurian club. The player’s desire to move to Genoa was decisive, an aspect that unblocked the negotiation, complicated in the last few hours by the Juventus rise: the Via Melara club had raised the stakes, the formula in the end should be that of an onerous loan with obligation to buy, for a total figure of around 1.5 million plus bonuses.

In attack, the deal was also closed for Tjas Begic, born in 2003 and owned by Parma, who arrives on loan. The young Slovenian striker will not occupy a place in the Over list and will effectively replace Estanis Pedrola inside the rose. The former Barcelona player is already in Spain, training with Las Palmas and will be made official at the start of the transfer window. For him too, the transfer formula should be that of a loan with the right to buy which becomes an obligation in the event of promotion, at 1.5 million plus bonuses.

Esposito and Begic are expected to be available to Angelo Gregucci and Salvatore Foti as early as January 3rd, in view of the preparation for the away match in Avellino. Gerasimos could also be with them Mitogloucentral defender ofAEK Athens, profile of important physical size who was leaving the Greek club after finishing out of the squad. His profile was suggested by scout chief Cardenas, freshly appointed to the Blucerchiati, and was closed by Mancini who accelerated. There is some doubt about his physical fitness: the last official presence dates back to 11 May 2025. The operation is nearing completion and the formula remains to be defined, with the aim of strengthening the defensive department after Lorenzo Venuti’s injury. Other tables remain open, starting with the one linked to Matteo Brunori of the Palermo. We are working on a flat loan for the attacker, but the issue concerns the financial compensation requested by the Rosanero club, which could be linked to criteria such as appearances and goals. The feeling is that even in this operation the will of the player, who is already very convinced of Genoa and Samp, will be decisive.
