Vitinha has declared that he wants to stay at Genoa until at least 2028, after expressing great respect for coach Daniele DeRossi. The striker, who agreed to speak to IlSecoloXIX, praised the rossoblù coach's way of communicating, defining him as "unique" and underlining how his words gave the group a motivational boost. According to Vitinha, DeRossi had announced two days before the match with Juventus that he would make changes not to face Lecce, but to beat the Juventus team, thus demonstrating that he fully believed in Genoa's capabilities. This trust, he said, made the difference.
The player's future was the subject of numerous summer offers, but Vitinha reiterated that he had never thought of leaving Liguria. He feels at home at Grifone and, in addition to his satisfaction on the field, he is happy in his personal life: in June he will marry Martina, his partner with whom he already has a daughter. The striker then expressed his desire to remain with the club until his contract expires, scheduled for 2028, highlighting his desire to continue contributing to the team's success.
Throughout his career, Vitinha has proven to be a determined and valuable player, and his decision to remain at Genoa reinforces the prospect of continuity and stability for the club. With trust restored in DeRossi, the player hopes to lead Genoa towards increasingly ambitious results, maintaining his leading position within the team. The next step will therefore be to wait for the next matches, where Vitinha intends to once again demonstrate his importance for the Grifone.
