Italian Serie A side Genoa have officially moved to retain the services of Ghanaian international forward Caleb Ansah Ekuban by offering him a two-year contract extension. The proposed deal is designed to secure the attacker's future at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris until the summer of 2028, signaling the club's long-term commitment to the 30-year-old. Since arriving from the Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor in 2021, Ekuban has established himself as a reliable component of the Grifone’s offensive unit, providing both experience and versatility.
During the current Serie A campaign, Ekuban has been a consistent presence in the squad, making 20 appearances and contributing two goals and one assist. His overall impact at the club extends beyond the current season, as he has amassed a total of 117 appearances for Genoa across various competitions. Over this period, the Black Stars forward has recorded 11 goals and 11 assists, demonstrating a balanced ability to both finish chances and create opportunities for his teammates. The club’s management reportedly views his tactical intelligence and work rate as vital assets for maintaining their status in the Italian top flight.
The decision to extend Ekuban's stay comes at a time when Genoa is focused on building a stable foundation in Serie A. By locking down an experienced international until 2028, the club aims to foster continuity within the forward line and reduce the need for drastic squad overhauls in the coming transfer windows. For Ekuban, the extension offers a significant vote of confidence and an opportunity to further his career in one of Europe’s most prestigious leagues. As negotiations progress, the focus remains on finalizing the terms that will see the Ghanaian remain a central figure in Genoa’s pursuit of domestic success.
