Fernando Belluschi to join Genoa on loan

FC Porto midfielder Fernando Bulluschi will complete a loan move to Italian side Genoa today. The Argentine will sign a six month contract with the Serie A side, who also have the first option to sign the player permanently.

Belluschi is hoping to resurrect his international career with a move to Italy, as he has not played for the Argentine national team for over three years, since quitting River Plate for a move to Olympiakos.


Porto have told the attacking midfielder that he is free to leave to Genoa.


"Porto have agreed to Genoa's offer," Belluschi's agent Alberto Meo revealed.


"On Belluschi's part, everything in settled, too. The only thing left is that Genoa send the plane ticket for him to fly to Italy, which should happen on Monday or Tuesday."
