Switzerland international Djibril Sow has arrived in Italy this evening and will undergo his Genoa medical on Thursday, reportedly joining from Sevilla for €4m. It was a surprise when last night reports circulated that a deal had been done to bring Sow to Genoa. According to Il Secolo XIX newspaper, the speed of the operation was because there is a €4m release clause in his contract with Sevilla, and the Grifone simply agreed to activate it.
