French centre-forward Neal Maupay, 29, is being considered as a potential replacement for Vitinha at Genoa. It has been indicated that he is not part of De Zerbi's plans at Marseille and may leave the club, despite his contract running until 2028. Genoa is reportedly able to afford his transfer fee, which stands at 5 million, a sum that is below the player's €8 million market value according to Transfermarkt. The transfer could be finalized in the final hours of the market, contingent on Vitinha's possible move to PSV, which is said to be preparing a concrete offer for the Portuguese player. Additionally, several other clubs, such as LOSC Lille and Udinese, have been linked with Maupay.
