Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero has told Dennis Praet to move to AC Milan.

Ferrero has just lost coach Marco Giampaolo to the Rossonero.

He said, “If the fast lane is correct, and it isn't always in football, then Praet ought to join Milan. (Former Sampdoria Coach Marco) Giampaolo was in love with him, a real world class talent who had an extraordinary performance against Juventus.

“Last season, Giampaolo begged me not to sell Praet and I made him happy. He's a great Coach and I think he'll do well, even if he might need some time to settle in at Milan."
