Antonio Cassano Will Cost More Than €20 Million - Sampdoria President
The club appear keen on keeping Cassano, but will not refuse to sell him for a good offer...
Sampdoria are prepared to sell Antonio Cassano, but only if suitors offer more than his €20 million price tag.
The latest exclusion from the matchday squad has led to speculation that he would be put up for sale as his relationship with the club grows fragile.
Premier League side Manchester City were tipped to land him, and president Riccardo Garrone is not stopping a move. He said Cassano could go for good money.
"Any eventual offers would have to go beyond his recissionary clause," Garrone told Primocanalesport.
"But, I don't think they will arrive. It's a situation that is treated with great attention as Cassano is an important player for this club."
Cassano's problems began last week when he allegedly had an argument with coach Luigi Delneri. Those rumours were denied, but the striker was dropped for the game against Udinese.
He will also be out for Sunday's clash against Atalanta.
I can almost hear sheikh writing 20 million on a cheque. :D
