Newly-promoted Crotone look to sign Sampdoria's Antonio Cassano after failing to attract Mario Balotelli.
The Pitagorici came second in Serie B last season and must now reinforce their roster to face the highest Italian league.
According to Premium Sport, the club have set their eyes on 33-year-old Antonio Cassano. The fantasista voiced his desire to keep playing for another year, but Sampdoria's higher echelons, starting from president Massimo Ferrero, don't sound too enthusiastic about keeping him around.

Crotone are looking at the situation from the sidelines and could make a move at the right moment.
This is not the first time that the club goes for a major but controversial name, as they previously tried to lure Balotelli at a time when the player was struggling to find buyers.
