The Sampdoria president has suggested creating a four-team tournament in honour of former Italy striker Gianluca Vialli.
Vialli, whose death comes just weeks after Sinisa Mihajlovic and Brazilian legend Pele, passed away last night surrounded by his family following a five-year cancer battle.
And in honour of the former Chelsea striker, Marco Lanna drafted up the idea for a competition involving the four clubs that Vialli played for.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Lanna said: 'I would like to organize a quadrangle with Chelsea, Cremonese, Juventus and Sampdoria: a 'Luca Vialli trophy' in which the proceeds would go to charity. He was a master at this.
'He always had Sampdoria in his heart, he called me to find out how things were going, the internal dynamics. He has always been very close to this club'.
Lanna listed the four clubs that Vialli played for throughout his career - beginning at Cremonese before respective moves to Sampdoria, Juventus and Chelsea.
Vialli represented Italy in the 1986 and 1990 World Cups, won the Champions League with Juventus in 1996 and gained popularity in England during a short spell at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea paid their own tribute to Vialli in the form of an emotional tweet and a statement made by club chairman Todd Boehly.
Sampdoria fans also showed their support until the end as they hung a supportive banner outside the London hospital where he was being treated.
'I am deeply saddened,' said Italian Football Federation president Gabriele Gravina.
'I hoped until the end that he would be able to perform another miracle, yet I am comforted by the certainty that what he did for Italian football and the blue shirt will never be forgotten.
'Gianluca was a splendid person and he leaves a void that cannot be filled, in the national team and in all those who have appreciated his extraordinary human qualities.'
Vialli was diagnosed with the illness for a second time in 2021, having been given the all-clear in April 2020 following a 17-month struggle.
