Aston Villa defender Jordan Amavi is wanted by Sampdoria.
The France Under 21 international is surplus to requirements at Villa Park as manager Steve Bruce needs to raise funds to strengthen his squad elsewhere.
Amavi joined for £9million from Nice in 2015 but his first season was curtailed by cruciate ligament injury while on international duty.
He returned to make 36 appearances overall last season but is ready to make a fresh start.
