Italian media: Genoa was close to signing Vardy, but was rejected by coach Vieira

July 6th According to the Republic, Genoa was close to signing Vardy, but Vieira refused the deal.

Genoa has reached an agreement with Valdi, and Valdi himself is also attracted by the first opportunity to play football overseas. Most of its salary will be paid by private sponsors, similar to the operating model that Genoa tried to introduce de Gea in the past.

However, the transaction was called off at the last moment. The reason is not due to concerns about physical condition, but a clear technical and tactical decision: Genoa coach Vieira personally rejected the transfer. Although Vardy's resume is attractive, he is not suitable for the tactical system currently being built.
