Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah is wanted back in Italy.
Chalobah spent last season on-loan with Napoli and used the experience as a springboard into the Chelsea first team this term.
Sky Italia says his emergence has caught the eye of Genoa.
Genoa have sounded out Chelsea about a loan deal for Chalobah, but received short shrift as manager Antonio Conte is counting on the youngster this season.
Genoa see Chalobah as a replacement for on-loan Manchester City midfielder Olivier Ntcham, who could be sold to Bournemouth.
