According to La Repubblica, Samp ‘dream’ of replacing Arsenal-bound Lucas Torreira with Paredes.
The newspaper explains that while a deal on paper ‘seems decidedly complicated’, the Argentina ‘would like’ a return to Italy and is ‘pushing’ for a transfer.
The former Roma man is described as being ‘particularly excited’ about working again with Marco Giampaolo, who coached him at Empoli during the 2015-16 campaign.
Zenit are said to be demanding ‘at least €20m’ for the 23-year-old, but La Repubblica believes the Blucherchiati have enough in their favour to ‘lower’ the price.
