Samp to land Zauli

Sampdoria are set to seal the capture of Lamberto Zauli.

The 33-year-old has failed to agree fresh terms with Palermo and is now ready to sign on with The Blucerchiati.

"Let's say I'm 99 percent a Sampdoria player," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I leave the remaining 1% due to possible sudden things, although there aren't any problems and it's only a matter of signing, nothing else.

"To tell the truth, I'd have liked to have stayed at Palermo, and I was close to doing it.

"The negotiation for my contract extension was good at one point, then something happened and I found myself free, so I chose Sampdoria."
