Malaga midfielder Enzo Maresca is reportedly in Italy ready to complete a move to Sampdoria.
The 32-year-old, who signed a one-year extension to his current deal in July, has been linked with the Serie A outfit since their promotion campaign last season.
He was left out of Malaga's squad for their 1-1 draw against Real Mallorca.
Spanish newspaper Marca have now claimed that Maresca will sign a two year deal with i Blucerchiati.
