Ruslan Malinovskyi will return to Serie A after Genoa announced on Saturday they had signed the Ukraine midfielder on loan from Marseille.
In a statement, Genoa said that Malinovskyi arrives with an option to buy after a disappointing six months with Marseille last season.
Malinovskyi, who has played 55 times and scored seven goals for his country, had previously spent three-and-a-half seasons with Atalanta.
The 30-year-old scored 30 times for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League with the traditionally small club in 2020.
Promoted Genoa, guided by former Italy striker Alberto Gilardino, begin their Serie A season on Saturday with the visit of Fiorentina.
