Genoa have completed a signing from the free agent market, bringing in Uruguayan midfielder Gaston Pereiro. The move comes as the club looks to bolster its squad following a series of injuries, most notably to Junior Messias and the more serious setback suffered by Ruslan Malinovskyi.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how Pereiro, who became a free agent after his contract with Cagliari expired, was a player highly regarded by Genoa’s management. The club had two open spots on their roster, making the signing possible. After initial contacts in recent days, Pereiro has agreed to join the Ligurian side.
The 29-year-old attacking midfielder is expected to arrive in Italy in the coming hours to sign his contract with the Rossoblu. This acquisition provides Genoa with an experienced player who can add creativity and depth to their midfield options.
Pereiro’s arrival is seen as a strategic move by Genoa to address their injury concerns and strengthen their squad as they navigate through the Serie A season. The Uruguayan’s versatility and experience in Italian football from his time at Cagliari could prove valuable for Genoa’s ambitions this season.
