Genoa are thinking about the future by looking at the best players at the U-20 World Cup. President Enrico Preziosi has prioritized Riccardo Orsolini and Andrea Favilli. Last season, Orsolini had a great season at Ascoli, as he made 41 appearances, 8 goals and 6 assists plus 5 goals in 7 appearances with Italy U20. To bring him on loan to Genova, they need Juventus' approval, who bought last January. His agent believes that he should stay at Juventus and wait for his opportunity with Pjaca still out injured.
Andrea Favilli's situation is a bit more complex: the player is owned by Livorno and was on loan at Ascoli, who has the first option to buy him. Once this situation is resolved, Genoa can talk to whoever owns the player and discuss a loan option. Favilli also had a breakout season with 30 appearances, 8 goals and 2 assists plus 1 goal and 3 assists with Italy U20. Preziosi has meet with Di Campli (both players' representative) which means Orsolini and Favilli could both have a future at Genoa.
