Loaned to Genoa by OM, Vitinha only received very little playing time with the Italian club.
A casting error or a context not conducive to success, everyone will have their own opinion on the (first) passage of Vitinha to theOlympic Marseille. The most expensive recruit in the history of the Marseille club (32 million euros), the Portuguese never managed to become the “great striker” so awaited by Marseille supporters. In total, the 23-year-old has scored a meager total of 6 goals in 43 matches in the Olympian jersey.
Hungry play time
This winter, number 9 chose to go to the Genoa to try to get back on track by regaining confidence. But for now, the former Braga player, who is on loan with an option to buy, is having difficulty establishing himself in the eleven of the current 12th in Serie A, helmed by the Gudmundsson-Retegui duo. After coming on in the 77th minute at Empoli (0-0) and in the 92nd against Atalanta (1-4), Vitinha only came into play in the 83rd on the Naples pitch. A very complicated start for the Portuguese, who has only attempted one shot since his arrival.
