Sampdoria are interested in signing Verona midfielder Federico Viviani. The former Roma player made 19 appearances for the gialloblu last season and is looking to return to Serie A after the club's relegation. It seems the port club will have competition to get his signature, with gianlucadimarzio.com claiming that newly promoted Cagliari are also monitoring the situation. Both clubs are believed to have made initial contact with the 24-year-old.
