Genoa market, eyes on Joel Pohjanpalo

Palermo’s ambitions are clear, despite a lower-than-expected start to the championship and Tuesday night’s heavy home loss to Monza (3-0 to Paolo Bianco’s Brianzoli, on their fourth success in a row): the Rosanero want to return to Serie A, and it is no coincidence that they have signed a specialist in promotions, Filippo Inzaghi, who left Pisa to Alberto Gilardino after having hit the target.

The weight of the Sicilian team’s attack is almost all on the shoulders of Joel Pohjanpalo, taken in his time from Venice and who has already scored four times in this cadet tournament.

The Finnish player, a star in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin, is still liked in Germany (where he has worn the jerseys of Aalen, Fortuna Dusseldorf and Hamburg in the cadet league) but also in Italy.

In the summer Hellas Verona had tried to sign the class of 1994, in January Genoa will try: an operation, however, not easy to complete.
