Genoa, working on a big comeback: Perin says yes, deal nearly done | OneFootball

Certain loves never end, they take immense detours and then return. Never was a quote more fitting to describe what is happening between Genoa and Turin. According to market expert Matteo Moretto, Genoa is one step away from welcoming back Mattia Perin. What initially seemed like a timid transfer idea has, hour by hour, turned into a concrete and well-advanced negotiation. The first, fundamental piece has fallen into place: the goalkeeper from Latina has already reached a basic agreement on personal terms with the Grifone management. The player’s “yes” is total and convinced, driven by the desire to become a protagonist again in a place where he grew up, made a name for himself, and became a leader.

Genoa-Perin, advanced talks: agreement with the player, Juve ready to negotiate

Having secured the player’s willingness, Genoa has accelerated contacts with Juventus. The gap between the clubs is narrowing significantly and the talks are described as “advanced.” The Old Lady, who has always appreciated Perin’s professionalism in his role as backup, does not seem intent on blocking the player’s desire to relaunch himself as an undisputed starter. The goal of all parties is clear: to turn the verbal agreement into signed contracts at the opening of the January transfer window. This is not just a simple “stopgap” deal, but a strategic move for Genoa, aiming to secure the goal with a profile of absolute reliability and experience, capable of transmitting a sense of belonging to the locker room. ​ ​ ​For Perin, this would be the third chapter in the rossoblù shirt, after his youthful breakthrough and his first return in 2020. In a winter transfer window often dominated by uncertainty, Genoa seems to have chosen the path of a safe bet. Or rather, the path of the heart. The Nord fans are just waiting for the official announcement to welcome back one of their favorites: the path is set, January will bring the return of the prodigal son.
