Genoa are closely monitoring Patrick Bamford's situation and might consider making a move for him in January or next summer. They have signed Mario Balotelli as a temporary addition and remain open to acquiring another striker. Genoa are expected to receive a €40 million cash boost from their current controlling owner, A-Cap, in January, potentially facilitating a loan with an option to buy. However, a permanent offer is unlikely to be made before the summer of 2025. Leeds United's manager, Daniel Farke, has indicated the necessity for more depth in attacking options, which complicates Bamford's potential exit in January unless a replacement is found. Nonetheless, it is considered realistic that Bamford will be sold in 2025, with Genoa being a major contender for his transfer.
