Nine goals in seven league games (Genoa have a game in hand after their opening game was postponed) in his debut Serie A season. The Polish striker has made an unbelievable start to his career in Italy and one thing is certain: he has caught the eye of Italy's big clubs.
As reported yesterday, Napoli were the first to come calling. They can already call on the services of Arek Milik and Piotr Zielinski, and Piatek would have no issues adjusting to life in Naples as the next Pole amongst their ranks.
However, 'Corriere dello Sport' have recently reported that Roma are next in line. Monchi sees the rising star as the ideal man to take Edin Dzeko's place, with the Bosnian turing 33 next year.
But it is not simply a matter of two clubs. Competition for Piatek's signature could come from far and wide. As with any player who shines in Italy, Juventus will never be far away, and there is also a rumoured interest from abroad with Bayern and Chelsea both looking at the striker.
Genoa meanwhile might not be willing to sell of their prized asset yet, and a fee of over €40m could be needed before any movement begins.
