As explained already, Samu Castillejo refused to make a move from AC Milan to Sampdoria in the deadline day. The former Villareal player was not exactly keen on trying a new adventure elsewhere and prove his worth.
The Sampdoria board tried to convince the player to make the move via phone contacts, but the deal did not go through.
Talking to Sky Sport Italia, Daniele Faggiano, sports director of Sampdoria had the following to say:
"Castillejo? He didn't feel like moving, perhaps because it was the last day of the transfer market, everything was there, even with his agent."
