“UC Sampdoria announces that it has permanently sold the rights to the sporting performances of the footballer Mehdi Léris to Stoke City FC”: it was August 22, 2023, and Samp announced the farewell to the winger born in 1998, who had arrived in Italy ten years earlier, wearing the shirts of Chievo Verona, the club with which he made his Serie A debut in the 2017-18 season, and Brescia. With the PottersLeris had signed a three-year contract, expiring in June 2026, but it could be terminated early. Or rather, the relationship between the player and the English club seems to have already ended.
As we learn from the broadcaster Sky Sportsthe player is close to returning to Italy, with Pisa who made the surprise move: Mehdi Léris returns to the Bel Paese to wear the black and blue shirtwith the approval of coach Filippo Inzaghi. The contractual details signed between the parties have not been made public, but the feeling is that – obviously – the Tuscans’ offer will at least match the one the player has in England.
All that remains is to wait for the official announcement, which, considering that the deal seems to have already been concluded, will probably arrive very soon.
