Capozucca: “I told Branca that Palacio was a champion”

Stefano Capozucca, former D.S. of Genoa, reveals the background of Rodrigo Palacio-deal between Genoa and Inter. This statement was published in the Gazzetta della Sport, earlier today:

“I have a good relationship with Branca and when we sold Palacio I told him; You’re taking a champion, not a good player. After closing the season on Sunday we made the deal with Inter for Palacio on Monday, the last of May. “
