Genoa fans have clear ideas: full support for the team and Alberto Gilardino. The moment is delicate and the match against Bologna when the championship resumes becomes an important turning point for the Grifone. Three consecutive defeats in the league, plus the derby lost in the Italian Cup, however, did not destroy the environment that gathered around the team during the afternoon training session with open doors. More than a thousand supporters responded to the appeal from the North Stand a few days ago. “Being a Genoan is the most beautiful thing in the world: in the joys, but above all in the difficulties – wrote the beating heart of the Genoa fans -. It is precisely in a moment like this that, with our support, we must make the difference by pushing the team beyond one’s limits.” And from 2pm the first fans began to arrive and then settled on the steps of the “Signorini”.
Balotelli chapter.
Mario Balotelli Yes. Or not? At home Genoa Uncertainty continues regarding the opportunity to sign the Italian striker, currently without a contract following the end of his Turkish adventure with Adana Demirspor. To push for the grafting of SuperMariothanks to an offensive department that has so far been unconvincing and plagued by injuries, would above all be the coach Alberto Giardino. The management is less convinced, also because Gila’s position is not so stable – Jorge Sampaoli hypothesis – and much will depend on the next match against Bologna, a fundamental turning point also for deciphering the technical destiny of the Griffin.
On an economic level, Balotelli and Genoa would have already found the right solution. And the player would have definitely suited the Ligurian club: in the event of signing, he would in fact receive a salary of around 250/300 thousand euros until 30 June 2025, with bonuses linked to personal and team performance. Low figures, but at the moment the deal remains frozen.
