Where will Vitinha play in the 2024-2025 financial year? For now, the Portuguese striker (10 caps, 4 goals) is a player for Olympique de Marseille. The most expensive recruit in Olympian history, the native of Cabeceiras de Basto is, in fact, preparing to return to La Commanderie after a four-month loan from Genoa. Under the colors of Il Grifone, the former Braga striker has also found some sensations despite rather meager statistics (2 goals in 9 matches) and an injury at the beginning of April.
“I felt that Genoa could be the right choice to find myself and that’s what happened. I’m going through the most difficult period of my life, but I’m also coping with the help of the club. There are still nine games left, but I want to return the favor to Genoa. In Genoa, I found the real Vitinha but the choice does not depend on me. At the end of the season the two clubs will meet and discuss my future as the loan will be until June”also assured number 9 a few weeks ago.

If the person concerned would not be against the idea of continuing with the Rossoblu and OM is, for its part, not against a departure this summer, the nature of a possible deal remains, despite everything, to be defined .
Indeed, according to the latest indiscretions of the local media, Genoa – which did not wish (could) exercise the purchase option of 25 million euros – would like to obtain a new loan and it is there that the shoe pinches. In search of liquidity and determined to ignite the summer transfer window, OM would not consider anything other than a definitive transfer for the one who sees his contract run until June 2027 in the Marseille city. Genoa has therefore been warned: the task promises to be complex to convince the upper echelons of Marseille to accept another dry loan…
