Exactly, Storari was ready to leave and would have (easily) been able to sign (back) with Milan or go to a team like Lazio, Roma etc but Conte wanted him to say.
He's not far from it either, which is why I said he would be a contender wherever he goes . I honestly can't say that I feel any less secure when this fella is starting instead of Buffon. Perhaps I'm brainwashed by the power of the turtleneck, idk.
According to Tuttosport, Storari asked to be sold that he can play regularly in his last professional season, and Juve told him ok. It seems like Sampdoria are the leaders for his signature.
