He is considered an alternative to Genoa's first target, Fiorentina” data-scaytid=”7″>Fiorentina hitman Alberto Gilardino.

“Borriello is certainly a great player and we were happy to have had him in our squad in the past,” said Grifone director Capozucca.

“But he will not return to Genoa for two reasons. The first is we have other objectives for our strike force.

“The second reason is his wages are beyond our means.”

Capozucca also commented on Inter's declared attempts to sign Rodrigo Palacio.

“He is a fundamental player for us, so there are no doubts Palacio will wear the Genoa jersey this season as well.”
