Sampdoria have agreed a double deal that will see Dawid Kownacki leave and Marco Sau arrive from Cagliari, who in turn will sign Kiril Despodov.
Sky Sport Italia reports Kownacki and Sau will move on loan with options to buy for Fortuna Dusseldorf and Samp respectively.
The broadcaster explains Cagliari’s deal for Bulgarian forward Despodov ‘freed’ the 31-year-old, who will replace the Pole at Marassi.
Sau has fallen down the pecking order in Sardinia, scoring just one goal this season, but has one Italy cap and remains something of a cult figure in Serie A circles.
Kownacki has similarly struggled for first-team opportunities at Samp and made his frustrations public, going as far as saying he ‘never’ wanted to go back.
Gianluca Di Marzio’s website, meanwhile, writes Cagliari will pay €3m plus bonuses for Despodov and tie him down to a contract until 2024.
The 22-year-old is primarily a right winger but can play anywhere in attack and has netted 10 times for CSKA Sofia this term.
