Sampdoria accelerates decisively and sends a strong signal to the league. It’s been an intense day on the transfer market front for the Blucerchiati club, the protagonist of a true winter revolution.
Four deals closed or in the process of being finalized within a few hours, with the aim of changing the face of the team and reigniting seasonal ambitions.
Medicals for Esposito and Mitoglou
The first piece concerns the midfield. Salvatore Esposito is expected today to undergo medical examinations before signing. The playmaker arrives from Spezia on a loan deal with an obligation to buy, which will be triggered automatically upon the first point earned by Sampdoria. It’s a structured operation designed to guarantee technical and project continuity: for Esposito, a four-year contract with an option in favor of the club is ready.
In defense, meanwhile, comes the addition of Gerasimos Mitoglou. The Greek center-back, formerly of AEK Athens, brings international experience and physicality, qualities considered fundamental to strengthening the back line. A profile chosen to provide greater solidity and leadership to a defensive line that had shown some fragility.
Not just Esposito and Mitoglou: Begic and Brunori also arrive
The Blucerchiati’s transfer market, however, doesn’t stop here. On the same day, physical tests are also scheduled for Tjas Begic, arriving from Parma, and for Matteo Brunori, a striker acquired from Palermo. Two moves that complete a deep overhaul in several departments.
Begic represents a solution of versatility and pace, useful for increasing options on the flanks and providing tactical alternatives. Brunori, on the other hand, is the marquee signing for the attack: a center-forward used to scoring and carrying the team on his shoulders, called upon to bring goals and personality at a crucial stage of the season.
A clear strategy: change gears immediately
Four signings in a single day tell much more than a simple transfer campaign. Sampdoria has decided to act decisively, without waiting, to address the shortcomings that emerged in the first part of the season. The goal is clear: to raise the quality level of the squad and immediately provide new technical and mental certainties.
