Genoa, in the meantime, confirmed on Wednesday that a transfer was close. “Our captain Criscito has received an important proposal, it’s true,” Genoa board member Andres Blazquez said (quoted by Romano). Criscito has been an important part of Genoa this season, scoring five goals and one assist in his first 12 Serie A games this season. But the defender has been in and out of the squad with injuries since November and has not played since December 21 (injury history).
With their captain’s injury history in mind, Genoa decided to move in a different direction, opening the door for an immediate transfer. Criscito, who has played 269 games for Genoa (29 goals and 13 assists) and 224 games for Russian club Zenit (20 goals and 29 assists) is expected to bolster TFC’s backline immediately adding center-back and wing-back depth to Bob Bradley’s squad.
