Genoa, likes an ex-Naples free agent for defense

Grifone likes a free agent for defense

Despite the fact that the soccer market has been closed since Sept. 1, Genoa continues to monitor the situation of free agents to try to give coach Alexander Blessin additional reinforcements to aim for promotion to Serie A.

Among the players without a contract, there is a name that would seem to suit the red and blue club: it is Faouzi Ghoulam, in the last Serie A with the jersey of Napoli, a club in which he played since 2014.

The Algerian full-back, during his long experience with the Neapolitan club, was dogged by injuries, only to say goodbye to the Azzurri fans at the end of last season.

The class of 1991, who is still unemployed, could make a return to Italy, and Genoa is reportedly considering betting on him to reinforce the Rossoblù defense.

This year, Serie B began on the weekend between August 12 and 14, an early start due to the unprecedented “winter” World Cup that will be staged in Qatar from November 21 to December 18, 2022. However, if during this period the Serie A will stop, it will not be the same for the Serie Cadetta, which will continue on a regular basis, forcing clubs with players called up for the World Cup to have to forgo it for a few days.
