Andrea Bagnoli, the agent of Sampdoria and Italy star Eder, claims his client was followed by Napoli during his Frosinone days.
The 28-year-old Brazilian-born striker made his international bow for the Azzurri in the matches against Bulgaria and England this past week, impressing in both matches.
The tireless forward has enjoyed a sensational season with Sampdoria, having spent most of his career in the Serie B with various teams, including a successful stint at Frosinone from 2008-09, producing 21 goals in 52 games.
“Napoli had followed him since his Frosinone days, but he was co-owned by Empoli who called him back to the club,” Bagnoli told Radio Kiss Kiss.
“This year is dedicated to Sampdoria, where he has earned a national team call-up and become one of the most prolific second-strikers in the Serie A.
“Will he remain at Samp? He has a contract, but he is clearly gaining a lot of attention with this national team call-up.
