Genoa president Enrico Preziosi says he'd be prepared to sell the club.

However, he insists he won't hand Genoa over to just any bidder.

“The protests are legitimate. Whoever wants to protest must be allowed to do so," he told Il Secolo XIX of ultras planning to protest against their poor run of results.

“However, their legality must be guaranteed. There must be no violence. To those who accuse me of pocketing money, just look at the budgets. Then forever hold your piece.

“It's useless to keep telling me to go away. I'm more tired than anyone else, but a serious buyer has never arrived.

“If they do, I'll sell up tomorrow. If they don't, I must keep going out of responsibility."
