Jordan Ferri open to France return after difficult Sampdoria spell | OneFootball

Former Olympique Lyonnais and Montpellier HSC midfielder Jordan Ferri (34) is open to returning to France this summer, according to a report from Foot Mercato.

Ferri left Ligue 1 a year ago to join Sampdoria, looking to experience Italian football in Serie B. However, his first season in Genoa did not unfold as hoped, with the Frenchman making only six appearances across all competitions.

Despite that limited playing time, Ferri remains determined to relaunch his career ahead of the new campaign. The midfielder would reportedly be receptive to an interesting project in either Ligue 1 or Ligue 2.

The Cavaillon-born player remains under contract with Sampdoria until 2027, meaning any prospective French club would need to reach an agreement with the Italian side.

Ferri could offer considerable experience to a team looking to reinforce its midfield. The former Lyon academy graduate has made 505 senior appearances during his career, registering 29 goals and 36 assists.GFFN | George Boxall
