Samu Castillejo revealed the secret to Krzysztof Piatek’s Milan success. “He moves so well, it makes it easier for us to give him the service.”

“We are coming off an important victory against Atalanta, as it’s always difficult in their stadium. We’re in a good period of form and must continue like this,” the winger told Milan TV.

Genoa midfielder Stefano Sturaro has insisted that he ‘doesn’t care’ about the frenzy caused by his €18m return from Juventus.

Genoa’s outlay for Sturaro raised many eyebrows after it emerged they had agreed to pay €16.5m to turn their €1.5m loan deal permanent, despite the 25-year-old not having made an appearance all season.

“The talk doesn’t bother me,” he told reporters.

Juventus target Cristian Romero is set to sign a new contract with Genoa until 2023.

Sky Sport Italia and Calciomercato.com report Romero will commit to Genoa for a further year.

The centre-back only joined the Grifone from Belgrano last summer but has gone on to start 15 of their last 17 Serie A games.

Both outlets agree the Argentina Under-20 international has been a revelation in the Rossoblu’s defence, while he had been heavily linked with Juve.

The referees for Serie A Week 25 are announced as Rosario Abisso will take charge of Inter’s trip to Fiorentina on Sunday.

Abisso oversaw Inter’s 1-0 win against Udinese in December but also their penalties defeat to Lazio in the Coppa Italia, whereas he was in position for Fiorentina’s 6-1 thrashing of Chievo back in August and their 2-0 Coppa victory over Torino.

Elsewhere, Gianpaolo Calvarese is handed Bologna-Juventus and Gianluca Manganiello will be the man in the middle for the Lazio derby between Frosinone and Roma.

Genoa’s sporting director claims Napoli took too long to finalise a deal for Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek, while Cristian Romero is ‘very close’ to Juventus.

Piatek has gone on to make an instant impact for Milan since arriving from Genoa in January, but Mario Donatelli suggested the Pole was closer to Napoli at one stage.

“In hindsight we can say a lot of things, but Genoa made a great profit and we must congratulate President Preziosi for finding him,” he told Radio Kiss Kiss.

There are four Serie A players in the top 10 for the Golden Shoe this season, Cristiano Ronaldo, Krzysztof Piatek, Fabio Quagliarella and Duvan Zapata.

Lionel Messi of Barcelona leads the way with 44 points, followed by Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo and PSG’s Kylian Mbappé on 38.

New Milan hitman Piatek is in joint fourth place with 34 points, alongside Edinson Cavani (PSG), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and Sergio Aguero (Manchester City).

Krzysztof Piatek was sold to Milan for €35m last month, but Genoa director Giorgio Perinetti admits “he’s now worth €70-80m.”

The 23-year-old Polish striker was practically unknown when the Grifone paid €4.5m to get him from Cracovia Krakow in July 2018, but he has scored an astonishing 25 goals in 26 games between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

That includes six goals in just five Rossoneri starts, bagging another brace in Saturday’s 3-1 win away to Atalanta.

Simone Inzaghi maintains Lazio “deserved more, but if you don’t kill games off, anything can happen” after a 2-1 defeat to Genoa.

The Aquile had taken the lead at Marassi through Milan Badelj, but a lucky ricochet off Antonio Sanabria and last-gasp Domenico Criscito daisy-cutter turned it around.

“We are missing many players at the moment, but I said before it should not be an alibi and we won’t use it now,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
