Genoa Extends Johan Vásquez Through 2028, Faces Criticism Over Social Post

Genoa announced on social media that Johan Vásquez has renewed his contract until June 30, 2028, sharing a photo of him signing and citing 108 appearances and 6 goals. RÉCORD reported a different term of 2027 with an option to extend, creating a discrepancy with the club’s stated end date. The announcement drew backlash over the use of “La muralla” and wall-themed imagery that some fans viewed as insensitive given U.S.–Mexico border politics. Coverage noted the wall-themed post appeared on X but not on the club’s Facebook or Instagram accounts, where it has larger Italian followings. The renewal follows a summer of transfer interest that Genoa rebuffed, reinforcing Vásquez’s status as a starter and occasional captain ahead of World Cup selection.
