Feyenoord has made a serious attempt to bring in Sam Lammers, reports Feyenoord Transfermarkt. The Rotterdammers even personally agreed with the 24-year-old striker of Atalanta, who was willing to hand in salary. Atalanta, however, prefers to store Lammers in the lower regions of the Serie A. Feyenoord is also looking for a striker.

Lammers is sent to Genoa on a rental basis, in order to get used to the Italian way of playing football and the competition. The center attacker came over from PSV for seven million euros last year, but was unable to convince Atalanta. In total, Lammers scored two goals in seventeen appearances, of which fifteen times as a substitute.

Genoa was looking for a new striker after the club accepted a €17.5 million offer from AS Roma for Eldor Shomurodov at the beginning of this month. Genoa also waved goodbye to another attacker, Gianluca Scamacca, who was hired from Sassuolo last season. The club from the port city mainly brought in transfer-free players and spent 1.8 million euros for attacker Caleb Ekuban from Trabzonspor.
