Samp: Strikers going nowhere
19 Aug 2009 - 07:07:31
Sampdoria sporting director Giuseppe Marotta has told rival clubs to forget about signing Giampaolo Pazzini and Antonio Cassano.
Both forwards have attracted interest across Italy and Europe, but Samp have said that neither are for sale.
Pazzini arrived at the club in January, scoring 11 goals in 18 appearances, while Cassano has netted 25 goals in 69 outings, impressing with his all-round play.
But Marotta has insisted that both will be staying at Luigi Ferraris as the club aim to sign new players rather than sell.
"Pazzini and Cassano? They won't move from Sampdoria," he said.
Marotta also confirmed Sampdoria's interest in Fiorentina's Franco Semioli.
"We need a winger and we have chosen Semioli," said Marotta.
"We will meet in the next few days with (Fiorentina director of football) Pantaleo Corvino and we hope to come to an agreement."
