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 quarterfinals 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.
