Di Marzio: Genoa very close to signing of Milan winger – details being resolved

The future of Junior Messias has been the subject of speculation this summer and it seems that he is closing in on a move to join Genoa, a report claims.

According to what is being reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Genoa are very close to concluding the deal with Milan for Messias, who is not deemed a part of the club’s plans and is free to leave.

The Grifone are looking to re-establish themselves in the top flight under head coach Alberto Gilardino having gained automatic promotion from Serie B last season.

The additions of Luka Romero, Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze mean that Stefano Pioli now has an abundance of options for the right flank, something Stefano Pioli has been after for a while.

However, this has sent a message to players like Messias and Alexis Saelemaekers, who are now deemed surplus to requirements and are currently finding new clubs.
