Sampdoria have snapped up Roma defender Leandro Castan.
The centre-back has already been training with his new teammates and Samp coach Marco Giampaolo.
Samp made the move official last night – a straight loan with no option to buy.
The loan costs Samp €500,000, rising to €750,000 depending on bonuses.
It's a chance for Castan to play regularly after missing the entire 2014-15 season due to delicate brain surgery.
