What we know from both Alessio SECCO and Enrico PREZIOSI press statements
1. Preziosi has indicated that he will purchase the 50% of Domenico Criscito’s contract from Juventus for the fixed amount of 5.500.000 million Euros

whilst Secco has indicated we could be in the market for a LB if Genoa exercise their option to purchase 50% of Domenico Criscito in which case THIS INDICATES THERE IS AN AGREEMENT THAT IF GENOA BUYS THE 50% OF CRISCITO THEN THE PLAYER REMAINS AT GENOA, unless we buy the 50% we had just sold
What will happen?
1. Genoa buy 50% of Domenico Criscito’s contract from Juventus for the fixed amount of 5.500.000 million Euros, at which case there is a bound agreement*** that Criscito will remain at Genoa until the other 50% is sold by either parties
2. Genoa buy 50% of Domenico Criscito from Juventus, then Juventus purchase the 50% they had agreed to sell Genoa FOR NO FIXED AMOUNT, it will then be up to the discretion of the parties to negotiate a fee of the 50% that Juventus had sold in the option outlined above
