June is coming to an end. And with it the contract is about to end Caleb Ekuban. The Genoa striker proved to be a very important player for coach Alberto Gilardino, especially in the second half of the championship. Struggling with some muscular problems that undermined his constant use during the season, the Ghanaian striker born in Villafranca di Verona was called into action by his coach on 30 occasions between Serie A and the Italian Cup, scoring in four occasions. The overhead kick against Lecce at the “Ferraris” was memorable, the goals scored in the away match in Verona and in the match at San Siro against Milan were very important.
Gilardino’s desire
A very valuable player in moments of difficulty, he was able to carve out an important space for himself among players of the caliber of Retegui, Gudmundsson and Vitinha. His performances were so important that Mr. Gilardino, at the end of the match won against Sassuolo, declared in the press conference: “I hope he can stay and that he can renew because he is an important player for us”. Having arrived in the shadow of the Lantern in 2021, he has signed a three-year contract which will expire on the 30th of this month. Negotiations between the parties are progressing and the will certainly, on both sides, is to continue the adventure together.
Decisive week
And it is the Grifone coach himself who sponsors the stay of his attacker. In fact, the calendar leaves no room for interpretation. What starts today, which is a patronal celebration in Genoa, should be the decisive one for signing the new contract. Work is underway on a two-year renewal for the striker and there could be the long-awaited white smoke in the middle of the week. To continue the growth path side by side. By Caleb Ekuban and Genoa.
