Brunori and Salvatore Esposito in Bogliasco
Sampdoria’s new signings Salvatore Esposito and Matteo Brunori will already find space on the pitch on Saturday at 3pm in the match against Avellino which marks the return of the Blucerchiati to the pitch in the Serie B championship? This is the question that many Doria fans are asking themselves these days: the feeling is that for both of them the debut with the new shirt, at least in progress, will be set in the “Partenio” match where – among the opponents – there will also be a former transfer coup from Sampdoria, Gennaro Tutinowho despite the enthusiasm of the summer of 2024 had not managed in his Genoese experience to confirm the good things he had done the previous season in Cosenza, and was then sold last summer to Avellino. Football is like this, take it or leave it.
Now, however, history is repeating itself at least in terms of expectations, which are always very high when it comes to Sampdoria: Esposito in midfield and Brunori in attack can immediately give something more to the team. The former could take the place at least during the race Hendersonwho in these last matches has actually acted as a reference in the middle of the pitch in the 3-5-2, the second can represent an alternative or a teammate for Massimo Codaapproached in the last few days by Salernitana by transfer market because his contract with Samp expires in June (at the moment however there doesn’t seem to be anything really concrete about his possible arrival at Campania, moreover in Serie C after the playout defeat against Samp six months ago). To clarify, Brunori can be an alternative to Infinity forward. However, something more about the possible anti-Avellino formation will be understood in the next few hours. Begic, taken on loan from Parma, will also be available among the new Dorians. Today morning training in Bogliasco, tomorrow the finishing touches before leaving for Campania.
