Genoa chase trio
Monday 26 May, 2008

Genoa are looking to reinforce their squad for the 2008-09 season with the additions of Maurizio Domizzi, Valeri Bojinov and Sergio Almiron.

The Rossoblu finished their first Serie A campaign for over a decade in 10th place and have got big plans for the future.

Domizzi would be the ideal capture for the Grifoni defence and the Napoli man is up for the deal.

“I know the Rossoblu President wants me. I would be happy to join Genoa but for now I have to wait,” he noted.

“I will go on holiday and then we will see. However, I have a contract until 2011. Genoa are a prestigious team, but it also depends on Napoli and what they want to do with me.”

President Enrico Preziosi has admitted that he is determined to sign the 28-year-old, but the deal is still at an early stage.

“We will meet with Napoli next week to talk about Domizzi,” he announced.

Meanwhile, Bojinov [pictured] is also on his shopping list. The Manchester City striker has been out injured for most of the season and would be happy to return to Italy.

However, it remains to be seen whether the English side are willing to let the Bulgarian go, although Sven Goran Eriksson's likely departure as Coach could be crucial.

Almiron could also be joining the Grifoni soon as Juventus are willing to cash-in on the Argentine.

The former Empoli player was one of this season's major flops and although he has had a decent loan spell at Monaco, his future is far from the Olimpico.

The Bianconeri are thought to be looking for a figure somewhere between £6m and £8m.

Genoa could then sell French full-back Abdoullay Konko, who has been linked with Inter, to fund the deal.

The Liguri have set a £10m asking price for the player, but the Nerazzurri are planning to offer an exchange deal involving Marco Andreolli and Robert Acquafresca.
