AC Milan winger Alessio Cerci is set to return to Genoa.

Cerci is on loan from Atletico Madrid, and had already agreed a deal with the Grifone, but a Qatari fund which owns part of his contract was blocking the move.

However, Sky Italia says the Qataris have now given the green light, leaving Cerci free to move to Marassi on loan for the rest of the season.

The Italian international is expected to have his medical tomorrow, ahead of completing the transfer.
