Krzysztof Piatek was sold to Milan for €35m last month, but Genoa director Giorgio Perinetti admits “he’s now worth €70-80m.”
The 23-year-old Polish striker was practically unknown when the Grifone paid €4.5m to get him from Cracovia Krakow in July 2018, but he has scored an astonishing 25 goals in 26 games between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
That includes six goals in just five Rossoneri starts, bagging another brace in Saturday’s 3-1 win away to Atalanta.

“Piatek now enters a different dimension of the transfer market,” Genoa director of sport Perinetti told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Genoa took a gamble on him and out of necessity we took €35m. A club like ours has to do that and the success of Antonio Sanabria as his replacement proves we are right.
“In theory, Piatek has already doubled his value, as he’s now worth no less than €70-80m.”
