“Paitek now worth 80 million euros”

Krzysztof Piatek was sold to Milan for 35m euros last month, but now he is worth less than 80m euros, according to Genoa’s sports director Giorgio Perinetti.

The Polish striker was virtually unknown when Genoa bought him for 4.5m euros from Cracovia Karko in July 2018, but in 26 games in Serie A and the Italian Cup since then, he scored 25 goals.

Including six goals in five games for Milan since its transfer in January.

“Piatek has now entered another dimension in the transfer market,” Perinetti said.

“Genoa risked with him and from nothing he won 35 million euros. A club like we should do it. In October, Piatek has doubled the value, he is now worth less than 70-80 million euros, “he added.
