According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Seydou Fini has refused a transfer to Catanzaro, stopping a deal with Genoa that appeared to be finalized. The clubs had reached an agreement for the attacking winger, who was born in 2006, is Italian and Ivorian, and is considered a notable prospect for his age group. Coach Alberto Aquilani had identified Fini as the ideal player to add quality and unpredictability on the wings, but the player's personal decision caused the negotiations to collapse. It is believed that competition from other clubs and the player's own ambitions influenced his choice to look for other destinations. Fini is an Italy U21 international with 8 caps and 3 goals, and he has made 1 appearance in Serie A this season. His contract with Genoa runs until June 30, 2028, and his market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
