It will be a hot week for the Genoa market, the rossoblu will close the Vitinha deal in the next few hours who will arrive permanently from Olympique Marseille for a figure between 16 and 20 million, however less than the 25 agreed in January when the attacker landed to Genoa on dry loan. The sale of Martinez to Inter is also close to closing, in this case between 15 and 18 million should arrive in the rossoblu coffers, useful for purchasing the replacement, plus a technical compensation. There are three attackers on the list, one will arrive to be deputy Gudmundsson at least at the start, waiting to understand what the future of the Griffin elf will be. Genoa will soon choose between Satriano, Oristanio and Pio Esposito.
Genoa transfer market, not only Spence on the right
In the meantime, however, Ottolini moves to reinforce the side lanes. The mainstay on the right remains Sabelli, an excellent protagonist in both A and B. However, an alternative is needed which in the Grifone’s ideas is Spence. The negotiation with Tottenham is not simple, we are working to lower the request of 8 million for the price tag, there is optimism but it is not enough, which is why other profiles are being examined.
The attack on Sassuolo’s Pedersen could begin. The lateral was a fixed point with Dionisi, then he lost his place with the arrival of Ballardini and his rating has taken a nosedive after the relegation of the neroverdi. Ottolini then targeted one of his protégés, Barbieri from Juventus who last year played for Pisa in Serie B. The DS knows him well and could try the blitz given the excellent relations with the Bianconeri, but be careful of the competition from Bologna and Turin
A reinforcement also on the left
Something is also moving on the left where Martin will remain, but Haps will not. Also in this case, given the 3-5-2 and the great difficulty that the wingers have to face, a new player is needed. In Argentina there are rumors, also reported by today’s Il Secolo XIX, of a strong interest in the 23-year-old from Estudiantes Gaston Benedetti. Lateral push, the valuation is around 4 million and the player has already decided to leave his current club.
However, the external solution will also be examined on the left, Gilardino would like to try Matturro in that role in retirement, the Uruguayan is now well and, after knee surgery, is ready to return fully available from the first day of preparation. He is a left-footed central defender with good running skills, the Biella coach will try to make him more flexible and if he succeeds perhaps there will be no need to go on the market to reinforce the left wing.
