Genoa owner: 'We can't hold onto Rincon'
"Rincon? I know he's a big-team player, but I don't know who has asked after him" Preziosi told La Repubblica.
"He'd be my captain anyday, but I can't keep him, we'd have to triple his salary. I told him that I'd like for him to stay, but if an offer arrives, we'll have to evaluate it".
Rincon has scored 3 goals in 32 Serie A appearances this season.
Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 were very interested in signing the Venezuelan international.
He also had a few things to say about current manager Giampiero Gasperini, whose permanence at the Marassi is in doubt: "We'll see him next week, we know what one another thinks, but I won't let fans dictate what we do.
"When I make a decision, I do it for the good of the club, and don't let people influence me. I need to be in a position to understand what the team is capable of, in which waters it can sail.
"The fans know certain things, but not others. I have yet to make a decision".
