The club have confirmed that Yakou Meite will be leaving the club after failing to agree a new contract to keep him at Reading. It is no surprise with the club having limited budget for new contracts and the ability to only offer League One football. Meite spent seven seasons at Reading making 156 league appearances and scoring 47 goals in all competitions. Despite suffering from injury he continued to bounce back and remained a strong option coming off the bench. His final Reading game saw him score his club's only goal in a 1-1 draw with Wigan in April. Meite is a hugely popular player who will be wished very well wherever he continues his career.
Meite's departure follows the confirmation that striker George Puscas will sign a permanent contract with Genoa after spending time at the club on loan. Puscas, who was never expected to return to Reading moves to Genoa for an "undisclosed fee which will now be payable to the club in instalments". Puscas joined Reading in August 2019 but fell out of favour after only managing two goals throughout the 2021/2022 season, and went out of loan to Genoa for all of last season.
