Especially when he wrote, ““I would like to look you all in the eye and embrace you in what is a see you soon, not a farewell. I said it when I returned here from Spain: Genoa is my home.

“I think it will remain so even after I stop kicking the ball. With you all, to this city, these people, this shirt, a bond that goes beyond professionalism ties me.”

Again, it truly saddens me that the Genoa management sought to trade Milito. I definitely think that he would have stayed with Genoa if management would not have sought his transfer.
