Quagliarella Returns to Sampdoria on Loan

Sampdoria have completed the loan signing of Fabio
Quagliarella from Torino, with an obligation to make the 33-
year-old's move permanent.

Quagliarella returns to Stadio Luigi Ferraris nine seasons
after leaving the club in 2007 having fallen out of favour at
Torino despite five goals in 16 starts.

His last goal came in January against hometown club
Napoli, when he earned the ire of Torino's supporters for
apologising to opposition fans after finding the back of the
net.

He returns to Sampdoria as a direct replacement for Eder –
who agreed a two-year loan to Inter last week – and could
make his debut against his parent club on Wednesday.

"President Massimo Ferrero and all at Sampdoria are
delighted to welcome back to Sampdoria Fabio Quagliarella,"
the club announced on its official website.

"The striker has been signed from Torino on loan with an
obligation to buy.
