Inter and Napoli boost as Tottenham target Gudmundsson reveals his transfer stance

1 week ago 15

Albert Gudmundsson admits he is ‘not eager’ to move out of Italy as he likes ‘football and life’ in the country so he must be offered ‘something good’ to leave the Peninsula and Genoa.

Gudmundsson is one of Serie A’s best players this season, scoring 16 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions with Genoa. His impressive performances in his first-ever season in Italy’s top flight have attracted interest from several top clubs, including Inter, Napoli, and Tottenham.

Transfer expert Matteo Moretto reported on Tuesday that Napoli also entered the race for the Iceland international.

Speaking to CBS Sports about his future, Gudmundsson said: “When I was a kid, I dreamed of playing in the Premier League, but since I moved to Italy, it has changed a little bit because I really like the country, the league, and I like the football and life.

“I am not eager to move out of Italy, to be honest. If I have to leave the country and this club it has to be something good because I really feel good here.”

The 26-year-old has recently signed a contract extension until June 2027 at Marassi.

He moved to Genoa for just €1.5m from AZ Alkmaar in the 2022 January transfer window and his price tag has skyrocketed since. Multiple reports in Italy claim Genoa won’t sell the Iceland striker for less than €40m next summer.
