As the season draws to a close and teams begin to prepare for the next campaign, there is one question that looms large: can Genoa's loaned players save them from relegation?
The Ligurian giants have been struggling in recent seasons, with their form dropping off at key times and their performances on the pitch suffering as a result. However, with some talented young players set to return from loan spells, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to turn things around.
One such player is Giuseppe Rossi, who has spent time on loan at Inter Milan this season. The Argentine striker has impressed in Serie A, scoring six goals in just eight appearances, and he could well be the catalyst for Genoa's turnaround.
Another loanee to watch is Alessandro Florenzi, who was signed by Juventus last summer but spent most of the season out on loan at Udinese. The Italian full-back has made a strong impression since his move back to Turin, and he could play a key role in helping Genoa secure safety this season.
Of course, there are also other loaned players who could make a difference for the team, including Federico Bernardeschi and Daniele De Rossi. With so many talented young players returning from loan spells, it is clear that Genoa have a bright future ahead of them if they can get their act together and avoid the drop.
However, it won't be easy. The club has struggled in recent years, and they will need to put in the hard work required to turn things around. But with some talented young players set to return from loan spells, there is hope that Genoa can make a real impact in the coming seasons.
