Sampdoria sporting director Daniele Faggiano is confident closing a deal for Inter Milan midfielder Stefano Sensi.

Sensi is expected to join Samp on loan for the remainder of the season.

"As long as there are no signatures he remains an Inter player, but we're confident," Faggiano told TMW.

“Even if we were already in this position last week. I'll say that we really hope he arrives, he's a quality player and was always our first choice."

The deal is expected to be a straight loan without a permanent option.
