The Blucerchiati are working to find a new coach for 2021-22, as Ranieri confirmed he will not continue in Liguria.
Sky Sport Italia reports Giampaolo, who previously coached Samp between 2016 and 2019, could return after two difficult spells with Milan and Torino.
President Massimo Ferrero has already been in contact with the former coach, and the talks will continue in the coming days to understand if they are sharing the same ambitions for the club.
Giampaolo did well during his first stint at Sampdoria and earned a call from Milan in the summer of 2019.
The Sampdoria fans will remember his record in the Derby della Lanterna, as he came out of the six meetings with Genoa unbeaten.
