Genoa coach De Rossi pushes for Pisilli and awaits Dzeko decision

Daniele De Rossi is confident he can add reinforcements to a Genoa side that is becoming increasingly competitive.

We already covered the situation involving Perin last night, but there has also been discussion surrounding Edin Dzeko in attack, largely due to De Rossi’s strong personal relationship with the Bosnian striker.

Dzeko has struggled to make an impact at Fiorentina so far. His playing time has been limited and he has yet to truly leave his mark.

The bond with De Rossi could help open up a potential market solution, provided Dzeko decides to leave the Viola in the upcoming transfer window.

De Rossi has always shown a strong belief in young players and there is one name firmly on his notebook.

We have already reported on Niccolò Pisilli, a long-time favourite of De Rossi’s.

Much now depends on Roma’s decision, as the club are currently dealing with other priority situations.

There could soon be an opportunity to discuss the matter directly, given that Genoa will face Roma at the Olimpico in the coming days.

Pisilli has attracted interest from two or three Serie A clubs, but if Roma decide to let him leave on loan, Genoa could hold a preferential position in the race.
