Genoa prepares to say goodbye to a striker

In the very last days of the market, Genoa is preparing to say goodbye to Kelvin Yeboah. The striker, out of Alberto Gilardino’s plans, according to the latest rumors has been requested by Kortrijk, a Belgian club that has been monitoring the 2000-year-old for some time. The companies are in agreement on the outright transfer but there are still some details to be filed to make the transfer official.

Meanwhile, Genoa is enjoying Mateo Retegui: after the heavy defeat in the season opener (4-1 against Fiorentina), the Grifone on Sunday triumphed against Lazio thanks to the goal of the bomber who arrived in recent weeks from Tigre. The player è was purchased by the Ligurian club for 12 million euros.

After the decisive goal against Sarri’s gang, Retegui said: "The important thing is that we played well and won on such a difficult field. With Gudmundsson and Malinovskyi, as well as with Ekuban and Thorsby and the others, I feel comfortable, at ease. My goal è to live from game to game. National team? I hope for a call-up by coach Spalletti, I want to return there with the Genoa jersey".

Gilardino spoke this way about his new striker: "He comes from another league and another work culture. He has great physical qualities but with important room for improvement. He has shown character and a positive spirit. The goals I want from him are the ones we need to get to 40 points: he should not focus on scoring goals but to work in the two phases and attack the depth and the opponent’s goal".
