Cagliari goalkeeper Federico Marchetti won't be joining Genoa after Enrico Preziosi grew frustrated with his wage demands.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Marchetti would like 1.5m a year, but his agent's tactics has put off Genoa president Preziosi.
"I don't buy players from agents, only from clubs," he said.
Genoa had agreed to pay 5m for the 27-year-old.
