Genoa have officially signed Iago Falque from Torino, on loan with option to buy, but Juan Manuel Iturbe failed to agree a transfer from Pumas.

The Grifone were very active on the transfer market in January, as they try to reshape the squad for their third coach of the season, Davide Nicola.

Iago Falque has signed the contract, on loan with option to buy at the end of the season, and is already training with his new teammates.

He will wear shirt number 10 at Marassi and this represents a return, as he had already played 32 Serie A games for Genoa in 2014-15, scoring 13 goals.

The 30-year-old Spaniard had struggled for playing time and suffered from injuries at Torino this term, making only six appearances.

Paraguay international Iturbe arrived last night from Mexico, where he had been playing for club side Pumas.

The former Roma and Hellas Verona forward underwent a medical, but the transfer was then abandoned after reports of issues with the third-party ownership section of his contract.

It was meant to be a loan with option to buy, becoming an obligation once he hit a certain number of appearances, for circa €4m.

This is the third time in five years that a proposed Iturbe deal has collapsed.
