Sampdoria want Inter’s Adriano

Italian side Sampdoria are interested in signing Brazilian striker Adriano, currently looking to get away from Internazionale.

Sampdoria have only managed to score 15 goals this season and could certainly use someone to team up with Antonio Cassano in order to strengthen their striking force.

Club CEO Beppe Marotta revealed his plans in an interview with Mediaset Premium: “When Adriano is up and running he truly is a champion,” he said.

The 26-year-old has been at Inter since 2001, but did have loan spells with Fiorentina, Parma and Sao Paulo since. Whether ‘Samp’ have a chance of signing the player remains to be seen, as the Nerazzurri don’t seem very willing to let him go during the January transfer window.
