One step at a time, without haste, without the frenzy of the market and without following the rumors that are going crazy in this period. This is how the new Genoa is being born, which in reality will not be that different from the one that finished eleventh. With many distinctions, some very important and with the awareness that, in fact, the market has not yet started.
In the meantime, however, yesterday the official announcement of the operation also arrived from the rossoblù club Vitinha. The Portuguese striker will wear the Genoa shirt for 4 years and will do so permanently. The agreement provides for the transfer from Olympique Marseille for 16 million euros plus another 4 upon reaching certain bonuses. AND Vitinha, who pushed hard to continue his adventure with the rossoblù, immediately wanted to greet the fans and the environment: «Genoans, we are still together. In a short time we created such a strong bond that it was right to move on. I’m waiting for you at Ferraris to continue dreaming with our colors »were his words.
In terms of timing, it is the first shot of the new season which, all things considered, actually began last January and is not a joke. In fact, from the January market onwards, conditions have arisen that have led to some definitive purchases. Almost all thanks to the sale of Dragusin but above all to the incredible work of the rossoblù management. Apart from the arrival of Ankeye, player on whom the coach has bet more in the long term but who has already made his debut showing ample room for improvement, the early salvation brought the redemption of Thorsby And Bohinen for a figure just under 4 million, but also that of DeWinter, 8 million payable over 4 seasons. In the meantime Ricciardella And Ottolini they had also obtained a discount on the redemption of Malinovskyi: for 7 million the Ukrainian became all red and blue.
Now it’s time to Vitinha and by making a small sum it can be said that the transfer of Dragusin has allowed Villa Rostan to self-sustain by strengthening the squad but above all by sending a very specific signal: continuity. Yes because the players who will be available from 8th July at Signorini and then from 13th in Moena Gilardino for the most part they already know the technician’s working methods.
In the meantime, waiting to understand if there will be some excellent transfers, you see Martinez And Gudmundsson which continue to please many clubs, we are working to try to close other operations starting from the confirmation of Spence. If that were the case Holm, Swedish player owned by Spezia, not redeemed by Atalanta who could however try again when the market opens, would decline given that we are talking about the same role and also for this reason Genoa’s interest does not seem to go beyond, for now, a simple pour will speak, while there are those who even hypothesize Juve’s involvement in an operation more Preziosi-style than 777-style.
Gaston Benedict, Argentine left winger, but now with an Italian passport and considered to be leaving Estudiantes, however he can become a real target even in the face of a not excessive investment given that with 4 million he can close, an advantageous alternative compared to Haps, who is 8 years older and has not been redeemed.
