Genoa and Brighton and Hove Albion are nearing an agreement for a dry loan with Evan Ferguson, after the striker's unsuccessful and "hanging" stay in Rome last season. According to reports from Italy, including Sky Sport Italia and football insider Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between the two clubs are at an advanced stage for the Republic of Ireland player to try again in Serie A — now under the Genoa team. Ferguson, who turns two in October, has 26 senior caps for the Republic of Ireland and has scored eight goals for his country. Last season, Roma brought him from Brighton in a loan deal worth €3 million, with an option to buy him permanently for €40 million. However, due to repeated injuries — particularly the ankle injury suffered that ended his season in January 2026 — Ferguson was unable to gain confidence and regular playing minutes in Rome.

Despite the challenges, Ferguson still managed five goals and two assists in 22 competitive appearances for Roma. However, the Italian club did not activate the option to buy him so he was sent back to Brighton. Ferguson has not lost his appetite for top-level Italian football, and is ready to return for a new opportunity at Genoa, which promises more regular playing time and confidence in him as a main striker. The proposed loan is a so-called 'dry loan', meaning Genoa have no option to buy Ferguson at the end of the season — an obvious move to give the youngster more exposure and development, while his contract at Brighton continues. Genoa will be hoping that Ferguson can help them in their Serie A campaign, especially as they need to strengthen their offense to be competitive amid the fierce battle in the Italian top flight. This move by Ferguson has been anticipated by many, and could be the turning point in his career after a miserable year with injuries. He continues to study his fitness and game-readiness, which Genoa need to advance in the league.

What's next

The loan deal between Genoa and Brighton and Hove Albion is expected to be completed soon. If successful, Ferguson will have the opportunity to showcase his skills in Serie A, which could be the next step in his development as a striker.
