On January 10, local time, the Serie A powerhouse Sampdoria officially announced the news of the transfer of Andrea Conte through the official website. The former Milan defender will wear 13 jerseys for the”Mariners” until the summer of June. .

"My first feeling was positive," Conte told Sampdoria TV. "I came to a beautiful city, facing the sea - this is not the first time I have been here, I often come here in summer Visit here. Sampdoria contacted me during the summer window transfer last year, and I sincerely hoped to be here in August, but in the end I gave up for some reasons that I don’t quite understand. . Sampdoria was a great club with a great badge and a lot of great players: I came here without any hesitation."

The 27-year-old Conte was generously purchased by AC Milan from Atlanta at a high price of 24 million euros on July 7, 2017. However, frequent injuries have prevented the Italian's talent from being realized. During his time in Milan, Conte played a total of 52 games in all seasons for Milan and handed over 5 assists. Since he has not been able to get more appearances in the first team, Conte, who still has a contract for half a year, will inevitably lose his mind. Under the personal persuasion of the current coach who has worked together and is currently coaching the Mariners, Da Vilsa, Conte finally made up his mind to switch to Sampdoria and reunite with the former coach.

"I have known him (Davisa) for many years. He is not only a good character, but also an excellent coach. I am very happy to meet him again." When talking about Davisa, Conte said with gratitude , "I accepted his offer because I knew I had to get back into the game and I had no problem doing so. I hoped to do better and to be recognised by the club. After going through the past few years I'm desperate for revenge after a bad day. I hope to be able to help the team from the next game."
