The 29-year-old offers experience across several European leagues, including spells in Germany and Spain, and has been a regular figure for Switzerland. His blend of energy and experience could give Genoa another option in the centre of midfield, whether they need to press higher or add composure in possession.
There is also an attacking contribution to consider. The report credits Sow with five goals and four assists in 33 La Liga appearances for Sevilla last season. That output would offer more than a purely defensive presence, although Genoa’s exact plans for him would become clearer only once a move is confirmed.
Sow’s reported long-term contract with Sevilla makes the club-to-club stage important. Even if personal terms are close, Genoa would still need to agree the conditions of a transfer. The report gives no confirmed fee or final deal structure, so neither should be assumed.
For Genoa, the appeal is clear: add an experienced midfielder with a recent record of contributing at both ends of the pitch. For Sevilla, any departure would mean losing a player with proven top-level experience. The next development to watch is whether the clubs can settle their terms and turn the reported progress into an official announcement.
