Genoa announced that it has purchased outright the Portuguese goalkeeper Eduardo dos Reis Carvalho. The lengthy negotiation conducted by the leaders of the club and Sporting Braga was completed in the last few hours. EU passport holder, Eduardo was one of the protagonists of the World Cup in South Africa. The goalkeeper, born in Mirandela September 19, 1982, has played for Breira Mar, Vitoria Setubal and Sporting Braga.

It was a long and complicated negotiation, as confirmed by the president Preziosi to Skysport 24: "The negotiations went on until late into the night. It was quite difficult and laborious. The original agreement was 3.5 million then we came to 6.5. We gave 4.5 million plus the right of sale. We are on the market, we must still do something and do our best, trying to look after the interest of players and our club. We must still work. Names? We like Amorim of Benfica.
