Forwards George Puscas and Yakou Meite have scored 67 goals between them during their time with Reading

Reading have confirmed strikers George Puscas and Yakou Meite will both leave the club this summer.

Puscas, 27, has completed a permanent move to Serie A side Genoa for an undisclosed fee after spending last season on loan there.

Meanwhile, 27-year-old Meite has rejected a new contract offer following their relegation to League One.

The Ivory Coast international signed in 2016 and made 165 appearances for the Royals, scoring 47 goals.

Puscas played for Reading 90 times, scoring 20 goals after signing from Inter Milan in 2019.

The Romanian helped Genoa achieve promotion from Serie B as he scored four goals in 25 appearances.

He last featured for the Royals in January 2022 and spent the second half of that season on loan at Pisa.

Meite signed from Paris Saint-Germain but initially struggled to break into the first team, spending 2017-18 on loan at French side Sochaux.

The forward scored four goals last season after missing the majority of the 2021-2022 campaign due to a cruciate ligament injury.
