According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Genoa is interested in Atalanta's 24-year-old Italian attacking midfielder, Daniel Maldini, who is seeking more game time. His agent, Giuseppe Riso, is aware of Genoa's interest and is exploring options, with Lazio and Juventus also having made inquiries. Juventus's potential move for Maldini is reportedly contingent on the outcome of their pursuit of Federico Chiesa. Atalanta is not in a hurry to make a decision and will discuss the matter after Lookman's return. A potential departure for Maldini is not being ruled out and could take the form of a loan with an option to buy. Maldini, who has six caps for Italy, has made 8 appearances and provided 1 assist in Serie A this season. He joined Atalanta in February 2025 for a reported fee of €10 million to €14 million, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €8.00m.
