In a statement, Samp said that the 39-year-old former Italy forward "will stay with the 'blucerchiato' until 30 June 2023". Quagliarella has scored 105 times in 268 Samp appearances since joining in 2016 and is approaching his 20th campaign in Italy's top flight.

Another four league strikes would move him above iconic goal-getter Gabriel Batistuta in the scoring charts with 185.
