Sampdoria want to take Vladimir Weiss from Manchester City Football Club.

The young Slovakian international is rated highly by the Blues, but such is the competition in their squad he is some way off a first team place.

Weiss spent the second half of last season on loan at Bolton Wanderers, which was a disappointing experience for him, and has since been linked with Newcastle United.

However, it is believed the winger is also wanted by Serie A side Sampdoria, who hope to take him on loan for the 2010-2011 campaign and are believed to have already opened talks.
