Vitinha and Genoa move forward together. Now the news is also official and the paths of the Portuguese footballer and the rossoblù club unite again, with the signing arriving a few minutes ago. A complex negotiation carried out by the Genoa club, by the transfer team, with the DS Ottolini at the head, and by the DG Ricciardellabut which rewarded the player’s desire to return to the Lanterna.
Marseille were also satisfied, who would have preferred to deprive themselves of the player in an operation in all respects similar to a definitive agreement, even if the French club will reserve a possible future repurchase at very high figures, exceeding 40 million euros, an even more higher than the one purchased from Sporting Braga. Vitinha, who signs a 4-year contractalso wrote a farewell message to the now former club.
“Dear supporters of Olympique de Marseille,
It’s time to say goodbye. It was an honor to wear this historic shirt and give my best for the club.
Even though not everything went as I had dreamed, I leave with valuable learnings and unforgettable memories. The passion you show for the club is inspiring and has always pushed me to give everything on the pitch.
A part of me will always remain in Marseille. Here I grew as a player and as a person.
To OM, my teammates, the technical staff and all those who supported me, I extend my most sincere thanks. You were tireless, even in difficult moments.”
