Sampdoria are close to sealing a move for former Atalanta defender Mario Yepes.

The 38-year-old is coming off a hugely successful World Cup where he produced a number of stellar performances in spite of his age as he helped Colombia reach the quarter-finals in their first World Cup in sixteen years.

According to Sky Sport Italia, representatives from Sampdoria met with the player’s entourage in Milan to discuss terms for a one year deal that would see Yepes represent his fourth Serie A side after spells with Chievo, AC Milan and most recently Atalanta.

Yepes was part of the Milan side that last lifted the Scudetto in 2011 and also helped the side lift the Suppercoppa in the same year. He previously tasted success with Paris Saint-Germain before he decided to move to Serie A with Chievo in 2008.
