Sampdoria playmaker Antonio Cassano is no longer the renaissance icon of upward expansion at the club after falling out with president Riccardo Garrone, who has responded to the tension by putting him up for sale.
Tuttosport claims Garrone has decided to cash in on the Italian after a disagreement they had on Thursday. Cassano did not turn up to a club event when he was expected, leaving his chief fuming.
Cassano is now up for a €20 million sale, with both Inter and Juventus following developments closely.
Publicly the club said there "was no case, and all is under control" following the confrotation between the men, but privately the feeling is one of a breakdown.
Cassano is no longer in control at Marassi and his career there looks fragile.
Juventus have always maintained an interest in the hitman. They were linked heavily in the summer, but plaintive groans from Garrone scuppered interest.
Inter are also said to be watching the situation. Massimo Moratti is a keen follower of the Bari native.
