Kakha Kaladze's career in AC"Milan" which lasted for 9 years and half ended. Captain of the Georgian National Team transfered in "Genoa". This information is final and was confirmed by club's site also.
Information about transferring in "Genoa" spread few days ago, yesterday Italian press wrote down that Georgian defender had medical check and after it we were waiting official confirmation of the information, but was spread such information that Kaladze denied to transfer in "Genoa".
At once "legend" version of exchange got actual: Fabio Grosso transfer from "Juventus" to AC "Milan"and Kaladze from Ac "Milan" to "The Old Lady". Today was held meeting between leadership of these clubs and both sides stated that "Grosso-Kaladze's exchange will not realize and this topic is closed".
While, Enriko Preciozi the president of "Genoa" made the following statement in Romanian radio: " Kaladze denied to transfer in "Juventus", because he wanted to play in our club. Georgian football player will play in "Genoa", this topic has already decided".
You are supposed to know that Kakha Kaladze is in Cyprus with Georgian National Football Team and is preparing for the qualifying match of European Championship which is to be held between Greece and Georgia on September 3. Georgian football fans will be glad, it is true that "Genoa" is not AC "Milan" but if he stayed in "Rossonero" he would not have playing practice.
Additional information about "Genoa": this club is 9-time champion of Italy. (First in 1898 and last in 1924), 8 times took the second place and 4 times took the third place. "Genoa" won Italy Cup in 1937. The club was playing in serie C 5 years ago, last year won the 9th place in serie A, two years ago took the 5th place. Wining the 5th place connects to Argentinian goalkeeper Diego Millito. "Genoa" started this season with victory. (they beat "Udinese" 1:0)
G. Gasperini is head coach of the club. As for the staff, in such case more important is defense line for us: Kakha Kaladze's competitors are D. Danielli and member of U-21 national team A. Ranocchia. They played against "Udinese" as midfielder, but there is another rival of Kaladze E. Moretti. Supposedly, Gasperini will chose two midfielders from Danielli-Kaladze-Moretti-Ranoccharia. As for left defender's position, "Genoa" does not have any problem here, because D. Criscito is in their staff.
32-year-old Kaladze starts new career. 9 years and half, which he spent in AC "Milan" is already history.
