Morten Thorsby is targeted by Sampdoria, but the transfer may be complicated

The Sampdoria club recently floated the idea of ​​Morten Thorsby returning to the team. The Norwegian midfielder, who joined Cremonese from Genoa in January this year, is well known to fans of Sampdoria, with whom he played in Serie A between 2019 and 2022, scoring eight goals in 98 matches. The main obstacles to a possible transfer are the player's high salary, amounting to approximately one million euros gross, and competition in his position. Sampdoria's current squad includes Esposito, Abildgaard, Henderson and Conti, which could make Thorsby's return to Genoa difficult.  Despite these difficulties, the topic of Thorsby's transfer remains alive, although not all fans have forgiven him for moving to Genoa. Meanwhile, Thorsby is committed to the 2026 World Cup, where he represents Norway in Canada, Mexico and the United States. His team had just advanced to the round of 16 after winning over Brazil. So far, Thorsby has played in one group stage match against France, remaining on the bench in the remaining matches. --- ## Related Articles 1.
