The goal: the CFC Genoa, in which the central defender in the for the club so disappointing season 2018/19 really flashed his talent and in the end just secured the league (point equally with relegated Empoli at the end).

The achievements quickly awakened the interest of Italy's record champion Juventus, it fined 26 million euros.
