According to Sky Sport Italia, the deal has been dropped entirely now after several days of increasing concerns about his fitness levels.
Vavro did not fail the medical, but it was clear after a training session with coach Davide Ballardini and the squad that he will require some time to reach peak fitness.
Genoa are in need of a defender who can play straight away, especially following Cristian Zapata’s muscular injury.
Instead, Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia join TMW in reporting Genoa have turned to Arsenal outcast Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
Vavro played only 31 minutes against Sampdoria this season in Serie A and is not part of Simone Inzaghi’s plans.
