News about Adam Masina

Sampdoria has been barred from Serie A for the first time in over a decade, after losing 2-0 at Udinese. With four games remaining on the season, Roberto Pereyra and Adam Masina's first-half goals were enough to secure the visitors' destiny. Relegation may be the least of their worries as the club battles a financial crisis that has sparked fears of bankruptcy.

It is not unusual to see players loaned back as part of a trade pact, but it becomes more noticeable given the ties between the two clubs and the fact that the defender arrived from Nice in January. Both Udinese and Watford are linked due to the fact that they are both owned by members of the Pozzo family, with father Giampaolo owing to the Pozzo family's ownership of Udinese and his son, Gino owning Watford. According to the Watford Observer, the Serie A club does not even have a right to recall the 28-year-old defender. According to the study, the move will bring more money into the Hornets this summer, as well as helping them improve their cash balance after losing more than £60 million since being out of the Premier League.

The Croatian national scored either side of halftime to get the reigning champions off to a winning start to the season after falling behind after just two minutes at San Siro. Stefano Pioli's side responded brilliantly, drawing level on 11 minutes through French defender Theo Hernandez's penalty, and Rebic's first saw them 2-1 up by the time Adam Pesina equalized for Udinese on the stroke of halftime. However, the hosts kept Le Zebrette out in the second period, with Spanish forward Brahim Diaz and Rebic both netting to make it 4-2 by the final whistle in Milan.
