Legendary Candreva is on the verge of an unexpected return to Serie A
Antonio Candreva, currently a free agent, is close to signing a contract with Genoa three months after leaving Salernitana.
Details: According to La Repubblica, the Genoa-based club aims to strengthen its squad by signing Candreva, as the team is dealing with several injuries. A recent ankle injury to Ruslan Malinovskyi has left coach Alberto Gilardino without a key attacking option.
The report states that Genoa hopes the signing of the experienced midfielder will help the team recover from a poor start to the season, which has seen only one win in six Serie A matches and a painful exit from the Coppa Italia after losing to Sampdoria.
Additionally: It is expected that the former Inter player will immediately become an important asset for Gilardino, especially given that the coach has lost Malinovskyi for the rest of the season due to a serious injury, and Junior Messias is also facing fitness issues. Notably, Candreva previously spent two seasons at Sampdoria, Genoa's eternal rival.
