Maybe the transfer of Bosko Jankovic is the most important of this summer. Since the injury of Matteo Paro in February we miss a substitute of Omar Milanetto and now we finally found him with Jankovic. The 24 years old central midfielder is raised with Red Star Belgrado, played 28 matches (9 goals) with Real Mallorca in the Spanish Primera Division in the season 2006-2007 and 26 matches with 2 goals last year with Palermo. Bosko also brings some useful “body” in our team with his 1.84 meters and 77 kilo’s.

With the departure of both Brazilians Fabiano and Danilo we lost both left midfielders in the team. Genoa already bought Francesco Modesto of Reggina this summer and with Davide Brivio we now also have a natural substitute. Davide is only 20 years and raised in the youth of Atalanta Bergamo. He already played 2 Serie A matches with Fiorentina and last year 27 matches with Vicenza in Serie B.

Friday again 220 seasontickets were sold, so Militomania still goes on. To show once again why Diego Milito is so populair hereby the highlights of the match Real Zaragoza-Real Madrid of 8th february 2006. Real Madrid played with Beckham, Ronaldo, Casillas, Robert Carlos, etc., but they were beaten by 6-1 with first 4 goals of Milito:

Enrico Preziosi did it again: today he bought 3 new players: midfielders Davide Brivio (20 years of Vicenza) and Bosko Jankovic (24 years of Palermo) and the big surprise: striker Diego Alberto Milito (29 years of Real Zaragoza) who already scored 33 goals in 59 Serie B-matches with Genoa from January 2004 till June 2005. Besides these new players also the contracts of Nicolas Domingo and Marcel Roman are official now, while Davide di Gennaro was sold to Reggina today. All of this means that also Figueroa stays with Genoa.

The last 2 transfers in Italy of the summer of 2008 were: Jankovic, just before 19.00 and Milito just after 19.00 hours. The first rumours said that the transfer was annulated because it arrived too late, but because Fabrizio Preziosi already brought the first page of the contract right before 19.00 in the office of Lega Calcio they accepted that the rest of the contract with the signatures arrived just after 7 o’clock. All of this happened because Tottenham Hotspur at 17.00 hours did a better offer than Genoa to Real Zaragoza, so Preziosi had to raise his offer with € 2 million after which Zaragoza hoped that also Spurs would higher their price, but they didn’t so Zaragoza had to agree with the last offer of Preziosi and send their signature by fax at closing-time 7 o’clock.

After weeks of speculation in the newspapers, on radio, tv and internet tonight Genoa’s President Enrico Preziosi spoke the words we all don’t want to hear: Marco Borriello goes back to A.C. Milan. To have their 50% of Super Marco back Milan has to pay € 9 million and 50% of young very talented playmaker Davide di Gennaro. The young midfielder celebrates on the 16th of June his 20th birthday and he already played 1 match in Serie A with Milan in the season 2006-2007 and 21 matches with 2 goals this year in Serie B with Bologna. Davide also plays for many years with the Italian national youth-teams.

To see the great qualities of Davide di Gennaro watch the highlights of the Primavera-match Udinese-Milan (1-3) with 2 goals of number 10 of Milan: Davide di Gennaro:

Genoa today also bought Francesco (Cicco) Modesto of Reggina. The 26 years old left midfielder this season played 32 matches with 1 goal in Serie A, while he also was a line-up player in the highest league in Italy with the team of Reggio Calabria in the seasons 2006-2007 (35 matches with 2 goals) and 2005-2006 (37 matches, no goals). Because of the arrival of Modesto probably 1 of the Brazilians: Fabiano or Danilo leaves Genoa.

On the internet circulates the news that tommorow there will be the other long expected meeting with Juventus to talk about Criscito, Paro and several players of Juventus that Mr. Gasperini wants to have in our team next year. Last Monday Genoa’s president Enrico Preziosi told that after the € 17 million of last year he wants to spend € 30 – € 35 million this summer to have an even better team as last season with the hope to reach Uefa-cup football at the end. Let’s hope his wish will be true.
