(ANSA) - Genoa, December 4 - Injury-dogged former Italy
striker Giuseppe Rossi was set to sign for Genoa Monday after
passing a three-day medical.
The Serie A side said he will be presented Tuesday once he
signs after last-minute documents from Spain arrive.
Rossi, 30, is set to sign a contract tying him to Genoa until
next June, with an option for one more season.
Rossi's medical was so long because of the numerous ligament
woes he has had.
American-born Rossi last played for Celta Vigo last season
and has been a free agent since June.
His former clubs include Manchester United, Villarreal -
where his goalscoring feats earned him the nickname 'Pepito'
Fiorentina and Levante.
He earned 30 Italy caps between 2008 and 2014, scoring seven
times for his country.
