Genoa moves on the market, winning the performances of Vitinha also for next season. The Portuguese striker landed in Liguria in January, on loan from Olympic Marseille; the option of the right of redemption had also been added to the formula which, in fact, the Grifone decided to exercise. Vitinha will leave OM permanently – reports Gianluigi Longari – And Genoa will pay 16 million into the French club’s coffers. Meanwhile, Fiorentina is pressing hard Mateo Retegui, presenting an initial offer of 20 million, deemed too low and distant from the evaluation parameters of the Ligurians. The rossoblù club is asking for at least 25 million euros + bonus, but has closed the doors to the Viola for a pre-European Championship operation, hoping to be able to further inflate the request. In this intertwining of events, can Vitinha’s passage be considered a clue to Retegui’s future? Genoa certainly cannot afford to have another 16 million striker on the bench. The European path of “Chapita” will make a difference, as explained by the market expert Alfredo Pedullà.
It is necessary to make even broader assessments: according to what was gathered by the editorial team of LabaroViola.com, Raffaele Palladino has other names in mind and, at the top of his list, there is not the striker owned by Genoa. The coach appreciates the “Chapita“, but his preferences are different. It will be necessary to understand which profiles will be reachable by the Viola club, which will try to please its new coach.
