Italian clubs Sampdoria and Inter outline player futures amid contract talks

Sampdoria defender Alessandro Riccio said he is proud of wearing the club’s shirt and is not concerned by transfer rumours, hoping to help the team return to Serie A and welcoming the possible arrival of another centre‑back.

Inter full‑back Federico Dimarco remains in negotiations over a new contract. The club has offered an improved deal, but Dimarco seeks a higher salary and has changed agents. Inter has indicated it will not rush the agreement, retaining an option to extend his contract unilaterally.
