Italian super agent Enzo Bronzetti believes personal terms will be the deal-breaker for Sampdoria's plans to land Real Madrid striker Antonio Cassano.

He said: "Cassano? It is fortunate that the club that takes him will get him in his moment of improvement. This club could be Sampdoria. The fee is set at £3.75 million and the Blucerchiati could take him.

"The quality of the player is indisputable, perhaps the problem is his wages. Although Antonio decides to accept 20 per cent less, I do not know if Samp can afford him."
