Southampton loanee Maya Yoshida is clear to sign permanently with Sampdoria.

Yoshida has featured in all of Samp's 10 matches since the season restarted.

Il Secolo XIX reports that has triggered a permanent option of around €1.5m for Samp to buy the defender, although he will have the final say.

And despite interest from clubs in Turkey, France and United Arab Emirates, the 31-year-old 'intends' to stick with Samp.

Yoshida initially arrived at Samp in January.
