There are hours of reflection at Genoa regarding the attacker question. The evaluations continued throughout the day and Mario Balotelli, a former Milan and Inter striker, is waiting for a signal from the Ligurian club. According to Sky Sport, Balotelli is the profile that most convinces coach Alberto Gilardino, due to his characteristics, including his experience in Serie A and his familiarity with the league. His prices are on the rise, but only tomorrow will there be the final decision on his potential return to the Italian championship.
Genoa is dealing with an infirmary that continues to be congested, with Ekuban’s latest setback, the uncertain return of Junior Messias, and Vitinha’s long-term injury. As a result, the next few hours will be decisive for the Balotelli-Genoa axis. Some, including coach Gilardino and president Alberto Zangrillo, are enthusiastic about the prospect of signing Balotelli, while others, such as the management, the CEO, and sporting director, are more cautious about his potential impact on the team’s performance.
It is worth noting that Balotelli is willing to accept a salary of 400,000 euros gross, which is approximately half net, until the end of the year. The decision is expected to be made tomorrow, and all updates will be provided in real-time on the Calciomercato.com WhatsApp channel.
