Genoa defender Alessandro Vogliacco is reportedly set to undergo a medical with Greek club PAOK, despite previous interest from Italian sides Pisa and Cagliari. Initially hesitant about a move abroad to Greece, the player has now agreed to the transfer, as reported by Sky Sport Italia`s Gianluca Di Marzio.
The deal is expected to be a loan agreement, including an an option for PAOK to make the transfer permanent at the season`s end.
Vogliacco Embraces PAOK Opportunity
The central defender, who will turn 27 next month, developed through the youth systems of Bari and Juventus before playing for Pordenone, Benevento, and ultimately Genoa. This summer, Pisa and Cagliari from Serie A showed interest, but no formal offers materialized. Serie B club Palermo was also reportedly among his potential suitors.
Genoa acquired Vogliacco from Pordenone for €2 million in August 2021. He later spent the latter half of the most recent season on loan at Parma.
Vogliacco is notably married to the daughter of the late Sinisa Mihajlovic, and their son is named in honor of the revered former Bologna coach.
