Genoa are being linked with a move for Hibernian defensive midfielder Miguel Chaiwa, with the Zambian’s future in Scotland under scrutiny amid uncertainty over his contract situation.
The 21-year-old, who wears number 14 for Hibs, is reportedly on the radar of the Serie A side according to data logged on 14 May 2026, with the probability of a deal currently listed as “?” and no agreement yet in place. Chaiwa’s contract expiry date at Easter Road is not recorded, raising the prospect that he could become a free agent if his deal has run down or is close to doing so.
Born in Luanshya on 7 June 2004, the right-footed midfielder has established himself as a defensive option in the centre of the park, standing at 1.79m and operating primarily in a screening role in front of the back four. He is listed with a market value of €1.20m, a figure that would make him an affordable target for Genoa if a transfer fee is required, or a potential bargain if he is available after a contract expiry.
Chaiwa has been part of Hibernian’s Scottish Premiership campaign, featuring in defensive midfield and contributing to their efforts to secure league points in a demanding top-flight schedule. While detailed appearance and goal statistics are not provided in the latest data, he remains registered with Hibs in Scotland’s Premiership and continues to be monitored on the transfer market.
There is no indication yet of formal talks between the clubs, and the listing does not clarify whether Genoa see Chaiwa as an immediate squad option or a long-term project, but interest from Serie A underlines his growing profile beyond Scotland.
If a move to Genoa does materialise, the step from the Scottish Premiership to Italy’s top flight could prove pivotal in shaping Chaiwa’s career trajectory, offering a platform to enhance his reputation and realise his potential on a bigger European stage.
