The surprises promised by Dan Țucu in the mercato di riparazione can be transposed into reality in the reinforcements aimed at recovering Genoa, which is only two points from Verona just above the relegation line. The Italian press announces that the owner of the Rossoblu team, who will be present at San Siro for the match with AC Milan, will also have a meeting with the administrator-delegate Andres Blazquez and the sporting director Diego Lopez.
The announcement of Dan Șucu's move to Milan was made yesterday, at the press conference, by coach Daniele De Rossi: “The president will also be at the match, and his presence is always a positive sign for everyone.
There are two games in our calendar in just a few days, but we have to take it game by game, focusing exclusively on the one at San Siro, and we will not make calculations for the next one. The players who seemed the most prepared during these days of training in Pegli will enter the field”.

On the occasion of the trip to the capital of Lombardy, Șucu fixed a zero-degree meeting with general manager Andres Blazquez and sporting director Diego Lopez to speed up ongoing negotiationsas the Genoese daily “Il Secolo XIX” wrote.
“In defense, the targets are Martinez Quarta and Pablo Marì”
It is also likely the effect of the protest by the fan groups 5R, CRB and LR, who signed a joint banner and hung it on a fence at the training center. The message was displayed on the supporters' banner:
“Christmas has passed, and the Epiphany (no – Epiphany) did not bring us any gifts! The wind will carry all the promises!! Be careful, patience is starting to run out”, reference to a statement by Dan Șucu in which he promised surprises during the mercato period.
Apart from the Brazilian goalkeeper Bento Matheus (Al-Nassr), about whom GSP.ro will already inform, Genoa needs reinforcements in other areas as well.
“In defense the goals are Martinez Quarta and Pablo Marì. For the former, a 29-year-old Argentine, Genoa contacted River Plate in December, then returned, but manager Marcelo Gallardo appears to have blocked the transfer. Among the names being considered, however, is a centre-back, who currently plays for Fiorentina.
In midfield, Genoa are chasing Mandragora, Pisilli and Lovric
Pablo Marì, a 32-year-old Spaniard who has been in Italy since 2022, has returned from a calf injury. He might get less playing time with Paolo Vanoli. Genoa are considering him, but there are other names on the list. Among them, Brighton's Diego Coppola, who is ready to return to Italy, but Genoa have competition (Torino, Fiorentina, Milan)”. reveals the quoted newspaper.
In midfield, AS Roma would release Niccolò Pisilliwith the return of El Ayanou from the Africa Cup of Nations: “Alternatively, Vasilje Adzic (Juventus) is targeted as an attacking midfielder. But another profile is also being sought. Rolando Mandragora (Fiorentina) would be ideal, but the transaction is difficult.
Among the more accessible names are the Slovenian Sandi Lovricwho plays a little at Udinese. Cagliari want him and were already close to Genoa before he arrived in Friuli, and now they could renew their interest. In the attack, continue the rumors about Mbala Nzolain conflict with Gilardino in Pisa, Fiorentina being ready to loan him again”.
