Swansea City are in talks with Italian veteran Alessandro Diamanti, according to reports in Italy.

Sky Italia state discussions have already taken place between the club and the 34-year-old, with Sampdoria also vying for his signature.

Currently with Palermo, the former international is not prepared to drop down into Serie B following the Rosanero's relegation last season.

Diamanti has endured a nomadic career to date.

He signed for West Ham in August 2009 and made a decent impact at Upton Park before his CV meandered from Italy, China, back to the Premier League with Watford before signing for Palermo on a free last summer.

The set-piece specialist could serve as a replacement of sorts for Gylfi Sigurdsson, who is heavily linked with a move to Everton this summer.

However, at his age, one would assume that a move for the Italian would be unlikely.

La Gazzetta dello Sport say Sampdoria, who Swansea face in a friendly at the Liberty next month, are monitoring his situation.

Last season he scored one goal and contributed five assists in 31 Serie A appearances for the Italian side.
