Sampdoria have revealed that Gennaro Del Vecchio could be sold for as little as £3.5m next summer.
The 28-year-old has been a revelation since his move from Lecce during the summer and did enough in pre-season to earn his first call-up to Roberto Donadoni’s Italy squad.
The latest reports suggest that the Don was not the only one to be impressed by Del Vecchio, as Roma are seemingly keen on signing the midfielder.
“We put our faith in a player who was relatively advanced in his career, but whom we thought was technically very good,” said Sampdoria director general Giuseppe Marotta.
“Now he has been called up by the Nazionale, is important in our midfield and scores goals,.
“At the end of the season we could look at a few proposals. In Italy, as Roma are following him.
“It's difficult to predict what will happen now, but we cannot value Del Vecchio at anything less than £3.5m,” declared Marotta.
The director general had recently stated that the club’s relationship with Roma was excellent and it would have been “pleasing for Sampdoria if Gennaro went on to wear such a prestigious jersey.”
The Genoa-based outfit will travel to Cagliari on Sunday in what promises to be an interesting match, as the Islanders are still in search of their first victory of the season.
