Sampdoria are thinking about appointing Claudio Ranieri this summer, according to the media in Genova.
The Blucerchiati have endured a disappointing season and hover precariously above the relegation zone.
Caretaker boss Alberto Cavasin isn't expected to get the job on a permanent basis at the end of the season.
However, if Sampdoria are to attract a big name, they need to secure their top flight status.
Il Secolo XIX understands contact has been made with Ranieri.
