Sampdoria have moved ahead of Genoa in the race for Juventus attacking midfielder Raffaele Palladino.

Genoa had hoped to land Palladino in a co-ownership deal thanks to their strong relationship with Juve. However, Samp are ready to sign the player outright.

Flush with the cash raised from Christian Maggio's sale to Napoli, Samp will bid for Palladino this week, says Tuttosport.
