Salvatore Sirigu is delighted to make the move to Genoa.

The former Torino goalkeeper has signed for Genoa this week.

He said, “I want to start from here and prove to myself that I'm a good goalkeeper.

“Every challenge is fascinating. Coming here and being able to fight with this shirt gives me great motivation to face the year in the best of ways.

“In a year and a half there will be the World Cup but there are many things to do between now and then. I want to live this experience in a free way and even with a smile on my face."

Sirigu hopes to have a 'good season' with the Rossoblu and admitted it was difficult to play without fans.

“Until now, I have met pragmatic people. It's something I appreciate because last year was a strange championship for everyone," he said.

“I think this championship has not normalised; I think we have to start humbler than normal because we saw that playing without fans was difficult.

“We have to think about hitting the minimum target and then think about having a good season."
