CEO Andrés Blazquez highlights work done by management and
players, including star striker Albert Gudmundsson
GENOA,
Italy, June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Serie A
season has recently concluded and Genoa CFC are celebrating a
successful campaign in their return to Italy's top flight.
The Grifoni finished in 11th place with the
highest point per game average of any promoted team in Europe's top five leagues. They finished just
four points behind Napoli in a
season where they registered 12 victories, including a famous 4-1
win over Roma.
The star on the pitch was Albert
Gudmundsson. The 26-year-old Iceland striker scored 16 goals in 37 games in
all competitions, including 14 in Serie A. He finished in fifth
place in the scoring charts and was also in the top 15 players in
successful dribbles.
"We are very happy with our first season back in Serie A. On the
pitch we got some great results and played very attractive
football. Albert showed his quality and proved that he is one of
the best strikers in this league. Therefore, it is no surprise that
there is a lot of interest in him right now from some of the
biggest clubs in Europe and
Saudi Arabia."
Gudmundsson was also voted in Opta's Serie A team of the season
and Genoa would be looking for a
big fee to sell their star forward. In January they sold
Radu Dragusin to Tottenham Hotspur
for €31 Million.
Meanwhile the club is looking to remain competitive in Serie A
next season and build a team capable of challenging for European
places.
