According to transferwatcher Ben Jacobs, Ruslan Malinovskyi has been scouted in recent weeks by Italian top clubs including Internazionale. Jacobs claims that Malinovskyi is in his final contract year and will become a free agent next summer, which makes him a potential free transfer. However, other sources claim that he is under contract until mid-2027.

Inter and Juventus are closely monitoring the situation of Genoa's Ukrainian attacking midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi, 32, who has recently returned to top form. Both clubs are reportedly interested in acquiring the experienced and decisive player, who is well-suited to Serie A, for free. Although Malinovskyi's contract expires in June 2026, he will be able to negotiate with other teams starting in January. The Ukraine international has 69 caps and 10 goals for his country, and his current market value is €2.50m, according to Transfermarkt. This season in Serie A, he has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist in 12 appearances.
