This season will go down as the one where Piatek made his name. He is still young at 23, but he has 13 goals in 13 games since signing for Genoa in Serie A, and he is leading the scoring charts in Italy.
Giogio Perinetti, director general of the Ligurian club, has already made it clear that he will not allow the Pole to leave in Januray, leaving a clear message for Barcelona.
As a result, it looks as if Piatek will leave Genoa in the summer, and the forward is already planning for this. He wants to compete at the highest level, in the Champions League.
He has already said as much to 'Corriere della Sera': "The dream for those who come to Genoa is that it is a stepping stone on the way to a big club. If I continue like this, I could go to a big club.
"My aim is to play in the Champions League. That said, first I would like to thanks Enrico Preziosi (Genoa president) for giving me the opportunity to play here, for his trust, his investment and for allowing me to reach my objectives."
