On January 13, according to transfer expert Di Mazio, Sampdoria are considering signing striker Niang on a free transfer.
Currently, Sampdoria is 16th in Serie B and the road to avoid relegation is full of challenges. Di Mazzio has pointed out that Sampdoria intend to waive the visa of Niang in the winter transfer window in order to strengthen the team's attacking strength. It is understood that Sampdoria have established contact with Niang, and Niang himself has expressed a desire to return to Italian football. It is worth mentioning that Sampdoria's sports director Arcardi has worked in Empoli, has worked with Niang, and highly recognizes Niang's ability, which undoubtedly adds more possibilities for Niang to join Sampdoria.
Nihan, the 30-year-old Senegal international, has a wealth of experience in Serie A, has played for Milan, Torino, Genoa and other clubs, and moved to Empoli in January last year, scoring six goals in half a season to help Empoli avoid relegation. He then moved to Moroccan side Casablanca Vidad last summer, but made only eight appearances, scoring two goals, and has now been released from the team, becoming a free agent.
