At Genoa he took his game to another level, scoring 8 goals in 31 matches to attract the attention of Europe's major clubs. In August 2021, Serie A giants AS Roma announced the acquisition of Shomurodov on a five-year contract for €17.5 million plus bonuses, where he has been a regular starter in his debut season at the club.
