Now, Boselli is hoping to remain in Italy beyond his present loan deal. His agent, Jose Iribarren said: "Mauro has a contract with Genoa until 30th June, and the club has an option for take him definitively," Iribarren told calciomercatoweb.it.

"Is the price set at €7million? It is a little less. Mauro would like to remain in Genoa, but right now I don't think there has been a meeting between the clubs.

"We hope that they buy him, because he is very happy with his team-mates, the club and the city."
