Midfielder Mauro Formica will not be joining Genoa after his proposed move from Newell's Old Boys collapsed today.

"The deal fell through and it was partly our fault," club president Enrico Preziosi told Sky Italia. "However, we are looking at other possibilities.

"Like others, we are waiting to see what happens with (Fiorentina striker Adrian) Mutu.

"Mutu is a player that does interest us but we have not spoken to Fiorentina yet."

Mutu was dropped from the squad for leaving a training session early, and his future at Fiorentina is up in the air.
