Official: Genoa Extends Justin Bijlow's Contract Until 2029

Genoa club has resolved the matter of their Dutch goalkeeper Justin Bijlow by deciding to activate the extension clause in his contract, allowing him to stay with the team until June 2029, just a few months after joining the club from Feyenoord.

Bielo moved to Genoa in January 2026 on a short-term contract that included an option allowing the Italian club to extend the contract until 2029. The management decided to activate this clause after the convincing performances the goalkeeper delivered during the second half of the season.

According to Italian reports, the Dutch goalkeeper's performance and his ability to quickly adapt to the atmosphere of the Italian league played a crucial role in Genoa's decision. He has become an important element in the team's lineup and has successfully delivered several impactful matches since his arrival.

Bielo had spent more than two decades with Feyenoord before moving to Italy, leaving the Dutch club last January after a career filled with titles and local successes.

The decision to extend until 2029 reflects Genoa's full confidence in the Dutch international goalkeeper and underscores the club's desire to maintain technical stability within the team in preparation for upcoming seasons, especially after Bijlow's quick success in proving himself in Serie A.
