According to Radiosei, the Aquile made an approach and were told they could sign him for the same sum.

“I’ve given and received everything I wanted to in Salzburg. Now the moment has come for a new challenge,” said Berisha on TV2.

“I know Sampdoria were very interested in me, but I have to make a decision with my family.”

It’s not clear whether Samp or Berisha were the ones who stalled negotiations right at the end.
