The former St. Paulian and Hoffenheimer Leo Ostigard returns to the Genoa CFC. The Italians and Stade Rennes have not yet confirmed the change, but the transfer has already been registered with Serie A. The 25 -year -old central defender initially comes loan, afterwards the Rossoblu has a purchase option via a rained 8 million euros. For the Ligurier, the Norwegian had already played on loan in the second half of 2021/22.
This means that Easter return to the TSG is off the table. The defender had run up for the Sinsheimers in the second half of the past season and had played eleven games. However, the association had a purchase option in the range of EUR 10 million. In April, sports director Andreas Schicker had said positively with the personnel: “With Leo we found a player who is an absolute leader, an leader who can lead the last line. We are also in conversations with him that it goes on over the summer. But I think that it will still need one or the other week, but everyone in the club also sees it very positively.
