Genoa sports director Giorgio Perinetti admits they'll need to find a replacement for AC Milan bound forward Krzysztof Piatek.

The Pole could sign for Milan today.

Perinetti said, “We have a difficult decision to make and we have to see what is worth it for us, who can fit in with who, as for example Milan have to see if Gonzalo Higuain is going to Chelsea in order to get Piatek. We'll talk it over today.

“I can't go public with the details right now, we have had a chat and we'll see if it's possible to close the gap on some situations.

“We'll see, if Piatek does leave, who will leave. Stefano Sturaro is on his way and we are looking for reinforcements in midfield, while if Piatek goes then we're keeping a close eye on the striker market too.

“The market in general at the moment is not one that can keep hold of players, but who can replace them adequately. We don't want to seem like a selling club, that's just how it is now."
