The Sporting Director of Genoa has given his thoughts on the reported interest of Inter Milan in forward Albert Gudmundsson.
Grifone Sporting Director Marco Ottolini spoke to Italian news outlet TuttoMercatoWeb, touching upon the 26-year-old’s links to the Nerazzurri and other top clubs.
Icelandic international forward Gudmundsson has come onto the radar of Inter in a big way.
According to recent reports, the Nerazzurri have made clear to Genoa that they consider the Icelander a target.
Naturally, Gudmundsson would certainly not come cheap.
The former AZ Alkmaar forward has found the back of the net ten times in Serie A this season. He has also assisted a further three goals.
This fact, along with Gudmundsson’s versatility, age, and steady trajectory of improvement, have made the 26-year-old one of the breakout stars of the Serie A season.
Reportedly, Juventus, Fiorentina, and Tottenham Hotspur are also among the player’s suitors.

Asked about the interest in Gudmundsson, Genoa Sporting DIrector Ottolini said that “We’re happy to talk about Genoa.”

“There are players who are attractive not just within the Italian transfer market, but also internationally.”
“However,” the Grifone Sporting Director added, “We’re focusing on these last nine matches.”
“That’s what we have to do at the moment.
Gudmundssonn first joined Genoa from AZ in January of 2022, midway through the 2021-22 season.
The Icelander was one of a number of signings that the Ligurian club made to try and avoid relegation to Serie B that season.
Genoa were unable to avoid the drop. However, they came back strong and earned promotion back to the top flight.
And Gudmundsson has thrived in his second crack at Serie A.
