Genoa have placed a €20 million asking price on right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy, with the Grifone's outgoing transfer market heating up as the club opens its pre-season camp in Moena. The figure signals that Genoa regard the 22-year-old as a saleable asset rather than an untouchable, and it invites serious attention from clubs with the budget to meet it.
The so-what is straightforward: Norton-Cuffy enters this summer as one of Genoa's most marketable players, and the club's willingness to attach a concrete price tag suggests president Sucu — who is also exploring market synergies with his Romanian club Rapid — is prepared to move him if the right offer arrives. For a defender who has just completed his first full Serie A season, the valuation is both a recognition of his development and a test of whether the market agrees.
The numbers from 2025-26 offer a reasonable basis for that price. Norton-Cuffy made 26 appearances for Genoa under coach Daniele De Rossi, contributing two goals and one assist with an average match rating of 6.80 — solid, if not spectacular, for a side that finished 15th with 41 points from 37 matches, conceding 50 goals across the campaign. His AI overall score sits at 68 out of 100, but the projected ceiling of 78 is precisely the kind of upside that transfer fees are built on: clubs pay for trajectory, not just present output.
Genoa's position — safe but not comfortable, rebuilding rather than competing — means Norton-Cuffy's departure would need to be managed carefully. De Rossi's side won only ten league matches in 2025-26, and replacing a dependable defensive presence without reinvesting wisely would compound the structural problems that kept the Grifone in the bottom half all season.
At €20 million, Genoa are not giving him away. Whether a buyer emerges at that price will define the shape of the Grifone's summer.
