The agent of Genoa midfielder Thiago Motta says the Brazilian will stay if they qualify for the Champions League.

Dario Canovi said: "I do not want to attract the ire of (Genoa president) Enrico Preziosi, I talked about Roma and this drew the anger of the President.

"I think the future will depend on the results ... I hope that Fiorentina can become an option, but with qualification for the Champions League, it would likely be that Thiago Motta stays in Genoa."
