Vitinha leaving Genoa?
Vitinha está lesionado, lo que lleva al Genoa a considerar fichar a un nuevo delantero.
Marseille has included a buy-back clause that gives them priority if Genoa decides to sell Vitinha. The buy-back amount is set at 42 million euros.
Vitinha's future at Genoa is uncertain. The Portuguese striker arrived in Italy on January 31, 2024, on loan with an option to buy, set at 25 million euros by Olympique Marseille. Despite the expiration of the purchase option, Genoa has obtained an extension until the end of the month and will therefore have almost three weeks to decide whether to exercise the right of redemption or not. A lot will depend on the offers that will come during this period for Albert Gudmundsson and especially Mateo Retegui: if one of the two were to leave, the money collected would be reinvested in Vitinha, otherwise, they will try to talk again with Marseille.
As for Vitinha, the Italian press recently explained that Genoa wanted to extend his loan for a season, rather than directly lift his purchase option of 25 million euros. Negotiations will therefore take place with the Italian team.
Vitinha is playing his future at Genoa in the next 5 games. The striker arrived in January from Marseille with the formula of the loan with redemption set at 25 million euros. He scored only one goal at Monza and missed 4 games just when he was finding more space and more confidence with Genoa and the Serie A. In the last 5 games of the season, ready to return after the injury, he is playing his future. As reported by Il Secolo XIX, everything will depend on him, from his performances but also from his will, because the Grifone would like to bet on him even next year and the price of 25 million for the redemption does not seem to be an obstacle for the rossoblù company, also because given the relationships with OM there are the margins to trim the figure and possibly find a new agreement, perhaps a further loan with deferred payment.
