Gazzetta dello Sport report that there is interest outside of Italy for Andrea Ranocchia coming from unnamed clubs in France’s Ligue 1. Palermo and Sassuolo are continuing to monitor his situation too. Furthermore, they report that Sampdoria have only requested Davide Santon on loan but the player would prefer a permanent transfer. With that knowledge, Sampdoria could turn their attention to Senna Miangue instead.

Rannochia would get destroyed in Ligue 1. The general play style of the league is very fast, and features enough technical dribblers that he would get turned inside out within a few weeks.
