Daniele De Rossi has made one thing crystal clear: Tommaso Baldanzi's future belongs at Genoa. The attacking midfielder from Poggibonsi has long been a favorite of the coach, who first pursued him during his time at Roma and has now made him a priority in his new role at the helm of the Grifone.

De Rossi has already held discussions with Genoa's leadership—president Sucu, CEO Blazquez, and director Lopez—to map out the next steps. According to Il Secolo XIX, the Rossoblu club is wasting no time: they're accelerating negotiations with Roma to secure Baldanzi's permanent stay.

The numbers are straightforward. Genoa will need to work out the terms with the Giallorossi, but the buyout option sits at a manageable €10 million. For a player De Rossi sees as a key piece to elevate the team's quality, technique, and intensity, it's a price worth paying.

Roma, for their part, are happy to part ways with the 21-year-old and pocket the fee. Genoa, meanwhile, are eager to add a player who embodies the style and grit De Rossi wants to instill. The message is clear: Baldanzi is the first move on Genoa's transfer market chessboard, and they're playing to win.
