Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero has ruled out re-signing Antonio Cassano.

Cassano is a free agent after terminating his contract at Parma and intends to continue his career in Serie A.

"Cassano is a good guy, but we already have a big squad," said Ferrero.

"It's known that he wants to come to Sampdoria, but we have 40, 41 ... (in the squad)."

Cassano rejected an approach from Bari earlier this week.
