Deadlock in Boateng deal

Genoa talks break down, while Potters reported to be preparing bid

Kevin-Prince Boateng's agent has revealed that talks with Genoa over a proposed move have stalled.

The Serie A outfit have been leading the hunt for the Portsmouth midfielder for some time, and were believed to be closing in on an agreement.

However, talks with Pompey and Boateng's representatives have come to halt, leaving the Ghana midfielder in limbo.

A deal could yet be resurrected, with either Genoa or their Serie A rivals Lazio, but for now the 23-year-old must be patient.

"I don't think the talks can be considered closed," Boateng's agent, Mario Miele, told lalaziosiamonoi.it.
