In a significant development for Genoa Football Club, Dan Sucu has become the new owner after subscribing to a €40 million capital increase. This marks the end of 777 Partners’ era and the beginning of a new chapter for the club.
Manager Patrick Vieira addressed this change of ownership in a press conference ahead of Saturday’s match against Napoli. He stated, “We met with Dan Sucu this morning. It’s an important day for the club. The new owner will bring stability, which is very positive for all Genoa fans and employees. The players have taken it well because it once again brings stability, which is crucial for everyone working at Genoa. That being said, we are professionals, and our daily work remains unchanged.”
Regarding the transfer market, Vieira assured that the director and Alexander Blazquez will remain with the club, emphasizing the importance of continuity.
Speaking about the upcoming match against Napoli, Vieira acknowledged the challenge: “They’re playing to win the championship. Just look at their team and coach. It will be a difficult challenge, but we’ve trained well this week and we’re ready.”
On player updates, Vieira mentioned that Ekhator and De Winter have recently rejoined team training but it’s too early for their return. He praised Vitinha’s progress, stating, “Vitinha is improving and training well. He has our trust and now needs to play and showcase his talent.”
Reflecting on the recent match against Milan, Vieira expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance and the deserved point. He acknowledged that while the team is playing with more confidence, there’s still room for improvement, especially in terms of scoring goals.
