Sampdoria close on Berisha

By Football Italia staff

Sampdoria are said to have agreed a fee with RB Salzburg for winger Valon Berisha, but the player still has to give the all-clear.

Lazio fans will recognise the name, as the Kosovo international was decisive in Salzburg’s Europa League quarter-final victory.

He is extremely quick and good at taking men on, scoring 13 goals with 11 assists in 45 competitive games this season.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Sampdoria have struck a deal with the Austrian club for Berisha, but now have to work out personal terms with the 25-year-old.

He was born in Sweden, has Norwegian citizenship and plays his international football for Kosovo.

Berisha is under contract with RB Salzburg until June 2020.
