Sampdoria is ready to welcome Leo Castan to Montella's squad. The blucerchiati have surpassed their cross town rivals Genoa in the race for the center back: Castan is set to arrive on a straight loan with no option to buy. Sampdoria will pay vast majority of the defender's wages with Roma contribution a small percentage. Castan will look to relaunch his career at Sampdoria next season.
