Tonetto signs for Samp
Tuesday 18 May, 2004
Max Tonetto will be playing for Sampdoria next season after he today completed his move from Lecce.
The midfielder, who has also had a spell at Milan in the past, has agreed a two-year deal with the Genoa based club.
The 30-year-old, who had been at the Via Del Mare outfit for the last four years, will be presented to the media in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, Lecce have confirmed that they will not be taking part in the Intertoto Cup this summer.
The Giallorossi were eligible to enter the tournament in a bid to take part in next season’s UEFA Cup.
However, club President Rico Semeraro has ruled out the possibility that his team will enter the summer event.
"It is a decision that we took some time ago," said Semeraro. "It is more important for us to prepare as best we can for the new season.
"In order to play in the Intertoto Cup you need a big squad and we basically haven’t got that.
"Europe remains a dream for us but first we must confirm ourselves as a Serie A club. Then we’ll see."
