This was reported by FCInterNews on behalf of Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia. The names were discussed at a meeting between the directors of the two teams today, according to the site. Pietro Accardi, the Sporting Director of Sampdoria, visited the Inter offices today.
The Inter sporting staff and the Blucerchiati leadership talked about a few alternative players' names. One person that was mentioned without a doubt was Giovanni Leoni, the defender for Sampdoria. The adolescent defender is wanted by Inter. They reportedly want to sign the 17-year-old from Sampdoria this summer and loan him back to the Ligurian team for the duration of the season. Thus, discussing the possibility of a deal for Leoni was one of the goals of the meeting with Accardi. However, Sky claims that Sampdoria is also considering a few young Inter players.
