Sampdoria coach Walter Mazzarri has bolstered his defensive options with the capture of Marius Stankevicius from Serie B side Brescia.
The 26-year-old Lithuania international has been signed to help fill the void created by the departures of Christian Maggio and Christian Zenoni to Napoli and Bologna respectively.
The Genoa club have reportedly paid £950,000 for the versatile defender.
"I am happy to have this opportunity," said Stankevicius, who spent seven years with Brescia during two spells with the club.
"Sampdoria have made me feel important and now I want to repay the faith they have shown."
