Genoa, which has just been loaned Vitinha, has a purchase option set at 25 million euros. Which he will probably never lift…
A year after arriving as a star at Olympique de Marseille, Vitinha was loaned to Genoa, with a non-obligatory purchase option estimated at 25 million euros. “Today marks a new chapter in my life. I take with me the learning, experience and memories of my time spent in Marseille. I am grateful for the support received from the club and the supporters. Thank you Marseille, see you later! Go Om ! »wrote the former Braga player on his Twitter account.
However, the chances of seeing Genoa exercise the purchase option are almost non-existent. “OM could no longer support Vitinha given his level. But putting a purchase option at 25 million euros means nothing. It would have been the same if it had been a dry loan. It’s just to not lose their face that they put this option, to say “oh there is still a club which puts an option for 25 million, we didn’t get robbed by buying it for 32 million “. While it was ridiculous to buy this player for this amount”explains a specialist in the Italian market, cited by 20 minutes.
Recruited for 32 million euros (bonus included), Vitinha is the most expensive recruit in the history of OM. In 43 matches played under the colors of the Marseille club, the Lusitanian striker has only found the net six times.
