Official: Behrami joins Genoa

By Football Italia staff

Genoa have officially signed Valon Behrami as a free agent and Mattia Perin on loan from Juventus, with Mattia Destro to follow from Bologna.

The Grifone are revolutionising their squad during the Winter break, having hired Davide Nicola as their third coach of the season, picking up the reins after Thiago Motta and Aurelio Andreazzoli.

This afternoon, Genoa formally deposited the contracts for goalkeeper Perin in a six-month loan from Juventus and midfielder Behrami.

The 34-year-old Swiss international was a free agent after his deal with FC Sion was terminated by mutual consent at the start of October.

This is a return to Serie A and indeed to Genoa, where Behrami already played in 2003-04.

Destro is due to follow, as he is driving in to undergo a medical and complete the six-month loan from Bologna.

His contract with Bologna only runs to June, so at the end of the loan, he will become a free agent.
