Sampdoria have convinced Milan to part company with goalkeeper Marco Storari and he arrives on a loan basis until the end of the season, the club have announced.
Sampdoria official website:
"U.C Sampdoria S.p.A communicates to have acquired the temporary sporting rights of Marco Storari from Milan. The goalkeeper, who will take the number 30 jersey, will train for the first time with the rest of the team at Bogliasco this afternoon."
Storari is on his way to Genoa and he is looking forward to the move.
"I am going there now to sign. I want to thank Milan for this chance," he told Sky Sport Italia.
Earlier, Sampdoria president Riccardo Garrone had hinted at a deal when he told the press, "There is a good chance that we will sign Storari."
The glovesman arrives as an alternative to the injured Luca Castellazzi who is out for at least 45 days with a ligament tear to his left knee which he sustained last week against Napoli.
Sampdoria finally convinced Storari to join their ranks
