Sampdoria is at the center of a legal dispute with Avellino, after Mario Giuffredi, agent of Gennaro Tutino, filed an appeal with the Coni's Collegio di Garanzia. The appeal was filed on June 10, 2026, and concerns the non-payment of certain commissions that had been agreed upon with the biancoverde club when the 1996-born striker arrived. Sampdoria had loaned Tutino to Avellino with the right to redeem him in the summer of 2025, but the Campania club did not redeem the player. Giuffredi, on behalf of his Marat Football agency, decided to file the appeal with Coni to obtain payment of the due commissions. The legal dispute is the fifth in a year for Giuffredi, who had already filed appeals against Sampdoria and Cosenza. The case opened in the summer of 2025, when the agent had filed an appeal with Coni against Sampdoria for the agreements made when the striker arrived from Cosenza. The blucerchiato club had then made the payments and the case had been settled. But Giuffredi did not give up and continued to file appeals against clubs that had not paid the due commissions. Sampdoria is involved in this legal dispute, but it is not clear what the outcome of the appeal will be. Meanwhile, the blucerchiata team is preparing for the next season, after concluding the previous one in Serie B. Sampdoria will try to improve its position in the standings and return to Serie A. But for now, the legal dispute with Avellino is at the center of attention. The case has become even more complicated, with Coni having to decide whether to accept or reject Giuffredi's appeal. Coni's decision could have important consequences for Sampdoria and Avellino. The blucerchiata team will have to wait for Coni's decision to understand how to proceed. The legal dispute is a problem for Sampdoria, but the team is not distracted and continues to work for the next season. The club is focused on improving its performance and achieving its goals. The legal dispute will not affect the team's preparations for the new season.
