Vitinha will be loaned to Genoa until the end of the season. The Portuguese is the most expensive signing in Marseille's history.

The club has a non-obligatory purchase option of 25 million euros. The 25 million purchase option is not obligatory but will force Genoa to pay such a sum if by chance the passage of Vitinha was a success. And thus recognize the enormity of the industrial accident that constituted his arrival at Marseille at such a price.
