The troubled Italian international striker Antonio Cassano arrived today at Series A club Sampadoria on loan from Real Madrid. Cassano was briefly suspended by Real last October after clashing with coach Capello and has had trouble keeping his weight down.
The 25-year-old soccer star has not had much success during his time at Real Madrid and had several run-ins with the authorities at the club since moving from AS Roma in January 2006 for $6.9 million.
"Real Madrid can announce they have agreed that Antonio Cassano will play the coming season at Sampdoria on loan," read a statement from the Spanish champions. "At the end of the season, the Italian club has the right to buy him if they should so wish."
Cassano was passed over by Marcello Lippi for Italy's World Cup squad last year, but earned a recall under his successor Roberto Donadoni.
