Italian Serie A side Sampdoria are pressing ahead with talks to sign Ghana youth international Godfred Donsah from Cagliari, GHANAsoccernet.com can confirm.
The Blucerchiati are keen to replace the 19-year-old with Black Stars midfielder Afriyie Acquah who has left to join Torino.
Boss Walter Zenga followed the exploits of the former Hellas Verona enforcer last season at relegated Cagliari and wants to bring him in on a long term programme.
While Sampdoria are inching closer, Bologna are likely to relinquish their interest in the midfielder and focus their attention on signing Alfred Duncan on loan from Sampdoria.
Sampdoria are ready to send Duncan on loan after completing his signing from Inter Milan.
