Arriving on loan this winter from West Ham, Maxwel Cornet has quickly won over the hearts of Genoa fans. In just six appearances wearing the rossoblù shirt, the Ivorian international has already netted two goals and provided an assist. His impact has certainly not gone unnoticed.

According to reports, Genoa are looking into the possibility of extending his stay for another season. While no formal talks have begun yet, the early signs are promising.

Genoa are keen on retaining Maxwel Cornet for next season.

The Italian side is prepared to open talks with West Ham over extending the 28-year-old's loan move until the end of the 25/26 season.

His skill set is highly valued by the coaching staff, and his performances speak for themselves. The question now is whether West Ham will be open to another loan spell or perhaps a permanent transfer.
