Borriello admits Diavolo dream

Marco Borriello is becoming a Genoa hero after a match-winning brace against Lazio took his tally to 10 goals, and he hopes Milan are watching.

The 25-year-old signed for the Rossoblu in a co-ownership deal with the world champions having failed to make an impression at San Siro.

Borriello failed a drugs test at Milan in January 2007 and arrived at Marassi needing to prove himself.

He has done just that with his prolific first half of the campaign and admits that he would love another chance with the Diavolo.

“I’m happy with Genoa and I have been welcomed like a son, but if Milan wanted to take me back I don’t think that there would be problems finding an agreement,” Borriello explained on Sky Sport Italia.

“I was certainly happy to hear praise from Silvio Berlusconi in recent weeks.”

However, for now the Neapolitan hitman is focused on helping Genoa avoid the drop.

“I want to thank Genoa and especially the President Enrico Preziosi who signed me when I was on a low,” he stated.

“Preziosi always said that he wanted to buy out my contract, but he had to wait because of the price.

"At the moment I am only thinking of keeping Genoa up and I am 100 per cent committed to the Grifone cause.”
