Ruslan Malinovskyi will return to Serie A after Genoa announced on Saturday they had signed the Ukraine midfielder on loan from Marseille.

The 30-year-old Malinovskyi played for Marseille from January 2023. He joined the club on loan from Atalanta, and six months later, the French club exercised the option to buy the player. He played a total of 23 matches for Marseille in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing one assist.

Malinovskyi, who has played 55 times and scored seven goals for his country, had previously spent three-and-a-half seasons with Atalanta.
