Ex-Bayern-Flop Cuisance: Via Venice to Genoa
Cuisance was never able to assert itself on Säbener Straße, only made 13 professional appearances in total, and on top of that caused a stir with unprofessional behavior.
Both Hansi Flick and Julian Nagelsmann quickly put their thumbs down, which is why he initially ended up on loan at Olympique Marseille and Moved to Venice permanently at the beginning of 2022. After all: FCB received a fee of around four million euros for Cuisance from the Italians. A good year later, it is no longer worth that much!
In Genoa, however, they are happy to have the former top talent in their ranks for the next four months. In his first two weeks as a Sampdoria player, the left-footed player has already made two Serie A appearances for the penultimate team – once for a half in the 2-2 draw once morest Monza, then even for a good hour in the 0-0 draw once morest Inter Milan.

Nagelsmann makes a bitter Cuisance verdict
Sampdoria trainer Dejan Stankovic is impressed by the 23-year-old, but sees a lot of room for improvement in the physical area.
Fitness problems slow down Cuisance
“He has so much quality, I think he’s only living up to 50 per cent of his potential, including physically,” said the former midfielder ahead of his team’s home game once morest Bologna on Saturday. “It’s when he improves in that area that his technical ability will really show.”
Fitness problems were already an issue at Bayern. Back then, Cuisance often did poorly in performance tests and running sessions. To this day, he has not been able to shake off the associated image of a lack of discipline and attitude on and off the pitch.
Will Stankovic finally fix the problem child? “I was told he was a hothead. So I told him there were two of us and we had to get along,” said the ex-Serbia international, laughing following the game once morest Inter. “Jokes aside, he’s done well so far. He has a clear vision of the game and can help us.”

Serie A: Cuisance is fighting for relegation once more
The mission relegation is still tough. After 22 match days, Sampdoria is in 19th place with just eleven points, the saving bank is eight points away. A big challenge for Stankovic’s team and their new loan player. (DATA: The Series A table)
Cuisance is required. It’s also regarding his career. A return to Venice in the summer, where he still has a valid contract until 2025, would be a return to insignificance. The club is only 13th in Serie B.
