Genoa president Enrico Preziosi is adamant they and Sampdoria will not be relegated.

Out of 20 Serie A clubs, 16 voted in favour of freezing promotion and relegation if the 2019-20 season is forced to end early due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I expect our request will be rejected by the FIGC, who after all have enough autonomy to not take this into consideration," Preziosi told Radio Rai.

“We made a proposal, a suggestion, rather than a demand. We know that we'll ultimately have to respect the decision made by the Federation."

He also said, "It's true that the numbers say we are both in danger, but considering the squads available to Genoa and Sampdoria, I am very calm. I think we'll both bring home our Serie A safety.

“The results achieved just before the lockdown were comforting and we do not fear relegation."
