Genoa: The Court shakes up the Grifone: 23% of 777 Partners' shares seized.

Genoa – Genoa are experiencing a frenetic moment, caught between the adrenaline rush of the pitch and the courtroom. While Daniele De Rossi's team continues its buildup to Saturday's crucial home match against Napoli, news has arrived that will change the balance of power within the club: the Court of Genoa has ordered the seizure of over €28 million from 777 Partners.

Focus on the pitch: De Rossi reunites with his teammates, but without Baldanzi.

At the Rossoblu, the watchword is "concentration." Coach De Rossi can be confident of a nearly complete squad: all players are fit and ready for the match against Napoli, with the exception of Baldanzi. The playmaker will sit out as a precaution, aiming to make his full return for the next match in Turin.

As for the starting eleven, reports from the Pegli training center suggest Ellertsson will be retained in midfield. However, the possibility of Amorim remains alive, as he's warming up and could find a spot during the match to inject fresh energy into the second half.

Corporate earthquake: 23% of shares go to custodian

The real news of the day, however, comes from the legal front. The judge ruled in favor of the Ligurian club, which had a significant debt owed to the American holding company 777 Partners. The precautionary measure led to the seizure of the 23% of Genoa shares still held by the American fund.

These shares will now be managed by a custodian appointed by the Court, who will have the burden (and honor) of exercising the right to attend and vote at upcoming shareholders' meetings. This is a severe blow to the former owners, who now see their room for maneuver reduced to a minimum.

The Sucu Era: Towards 100% Growth

In this context of legal uncertainty, the figure of Dan Sucu stands out. The Romanian entrepreneur, who has owned a 77% stake in the club since December 2024—thanks to a €40 million capital increase that secured the club's finances—is ready to take the final step.

The concrete goal, no longer hidden, is to acquire the entire share package. Sucu is working to reach a definitive agreement with 777 Holding to acquire the final tranche of shares, thus becoming the sole owner of Genoa and ensuring the stability the club has been clamoring for after the turbulence of recent years.
