Genoa president Enrico Preziosi has confirmed his interest in fit-again Barcelona defender Gaby Milito.

Preziosi brought Milito's older brother Diego to Genoa before selling him onto Inter Milan last summer.

"He's a player that I appreciate very much, it would be a nice dream between us, but I doubt that Barcelona is willing to let him go, they also wanted to keep him at all costs during his long injury, let alone now that he's fine," said Preziosi.
