According to some Spanish media, including the magazine 'Don Balon', Genoa would be one step away from making an agreement with the Brazilian striker Alexandre "Pato", formerly of Milan, currently released.
Pato, born in '89, after having exploded with the Internacional of Porto Alegre was bought by Milan where he stayed for five seasons before returning to Brazil, first at Corinthians then at San Paolo.
He tried his luck in Europe at Chelsea and Villareal but in the last three seasons he played in China, in Tianjin Quanjian, and last year again at San Paolo before terminating his contract.
Genoa, which for now has relied on Destro and Pandev in addition to the Shomurodov bet, after the departure of Piatek no longer had a double-digit forward and had also evaluated the figure of Mario Balotelli in this market session.
Meanwhile, however, in Brazil it continues to be written that Pato would also be strongly interested in the Monza of Silvio Berlusconi, former president of Pato at Milan, while the interest in the 'Papero' by Spezia seems to have waned. Acting as an intermediary is the same impresario who has already brought Carlos Augusto, Corinthians full-back, to the Brianza team.
