Obiang could be about to leave West Ham this summer.
Obiang, 26, endured a frustrating season at the London Stadium last term, managing only 21 Premier League appearances as injury prevented him from featuring for much of the second half of the campaign.
It saw Cheikhou Kouyate and Mark Noble becomes first choice, while the recent signing of Jack Wilshere is also likely to push the Spaniard further down the pecking order in east London.
It could see the Hammers sell the former Sampdoria man, with Sky Sports reported earlier this summer that Manuel Pellegrini’s outfit value Obiang at the £15million mark.
Di Marzio claims that Sampdoria are one of the sides interested, as well as West Ham’s London rivals Fulham. Fiorentina, Atalanta, Villareal, Lille and Sevilla are also said to be interested in Obiang.
But Sampdoria are leading the race to land their former star, with Di Marzio claiming that the club have stepped up their bid to land the powerhouse midfielder. Any move will be down to West Ham, though, with Obiang contracted until 2022.
