The first coup of Genoa’s summer transfer market is the confirmation of Portuguese striker Vitinha. The rossoblù club has reached an agreement with Marseille for a rescheduling of the loan with obligation to buy at 15 million. In fact, his purchase will be part of the last market session, when the first agreement was made, which closed positively thanks to the sale of Dragusin but not only that. This way he won’t weigh on the current one. For Gilardino’s attack, this was excellent news considering when Vitinha showed his performance despite some minor ailments that had partially limited his adventure in Genoa.
Despite his few appearances, Vitinha had scored two goals, one of which was disallowed at San Siro, but above all he had shown all his abilities in a short time and had fit well into the attacking schemes of the Piedmontese coach. In addition to the excellent relations between the two clubs, from the Strootman deal to the purchase of Malinovskyi redeemed in advance in recent months for 7 million, the agreement was also influenced by the will of the player himself who on the last day had also kissed the shirt demonstrating all his appreciation for Genoa and for the rossoblù environment, an appreciation which was also reciprocated by the fans.
