Antonio Cassano has slammed Sampdoria after being denied access to the training facilities.

Cassano had his contract terminated by Samp last month, but has been training with the club to keep fit as he seeks a new team.

Cassano released a statement via the Twitter account of his wife, Carolina Marcialis.

“After a scripted scene worthy of an Oscar with Ferrero/Romei/Giampaolo as directors, this afternoon in the absence of any balls, they thought to tell me via Carlo Osti that from tomorrow I can no longer train with the Sampdoria Primavera lads… reason?! 'Too inconvenient!'

“Therefore here definitively ends the 'Sampdoria chapter' and I wanted to thank only a few people, including Ciccio Pedrone and his staff for giving me the opportunity to train with them…

“I also wish to thank all the Primavera lads who today moved me by showing their affection and respect.

“I will continue to train because I know I have a lot more to give to football."
