Sampdoria nearing agreement with Genk for Malinovskyi

Sampdoria are getting closer to signing Ukranian attacking midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi from KRC Genk. The player was also pursued by Atalanta, but the Nerazzurri's interest in the 1993-born midfielder diminished in the past few days, so Sampdoria took advantage of the situation and next week they could close the deal on the basis of a 12 million transfer fee plus add-ons.
