Sampdoria midfielder Roberto Soriano is attracting major European transfer interest.

Sky Italia says Schalke 04, Inter Milan and Manchester City are watching Soriano.

Soriano has a contract with Sampdoria until 2017.

Samp are preparing to lose Soriano this summer and won't block the player from moving to bigger things.

"Soriano has been growing, and I think that this season there will be many inquiries about him," conceded Samp chief Carlo Osti earlier this season.
