Sampdoria are targeting Valencia midfielder Kang-in Lee.
Sportmediaset says Samp have made an approach to Valencia for 20-year-old Lee.
He is tied to VCF until June 2022 and is heading back to Spain after the Tokyo Olympics.
The South Korea international is viewed at Samp as a potential replacement for Mikkel Damsgaard.
Denmark star could leave Samp this month and should it happen, they intend to replace him with Lee.
