Diego Milito “got to Genoa through the window”.

Watching Diego Milito score the double in the Final of th UCL I
couldn’t help remembering the rocambolesque episode of his transfer
from Zaragoza to Genoa a few years ago.

I translate from Marca:

Rocambolesque history of the day: The transfer of Diego Milito to
Genoa is in the air. The transfer market in Italy closes at 19.00 h,
instead of at 24.00 h. as it is in Spain. There you could not fax the
contracts, so Milito’s agent (Federico Pastorello) renders himself at
the LEGA to submit it in hand. As it happens the door had just been
closed, so he jumped the fence and threw the contract trough the
window. Yes, veridical. It seems that after all they accepted it.

Historia rocambolesca del día. El pase de Diego Milito al Genoa está
en el aire. El mercado de fichajes en Italia se cierra a las 19:00 h.,
en vez de a las 24:00 h. como es en España. Allí no se puede entregar
los contratos vía fax, así que el representante de Milito (Federico
Pastorello) se personó en la sede de la LEGA para entregarlo en mano.
Pues resulta que acababan de cerrar la puerta, así que se saltó la
valla y lanzó el contrato por la ventana. Sí, verídico. Parece ser que
al final lo han aceptado.

So that's why they call it a "transfer window"...

All in the space of 2 years, and at the age of 31!

He was a prolific goalscorer in Liga too.

More or less a goal every second game.
