The agent of Portsmouth midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng says there has been no contact from Genoa over a possible move to the club.[LNB] The Italian team are believed to be keen on recruiting the Ghanaian star, who enjoyed an impressive World Cup finals in South Africa for his country.[LNB]Boateng is said to be keen on exiting Fratton Park following Pompey's relegation to the Championship and Serie A could be a possible destination for the player.[LNB]But the 23-year-old's representative says Genoa have not been in touch with him over a deal - nor has there been any contact between the two clubs.[LNB]Mario Miele told pianetagenoa1893.net: "We are still waiting a call off Genoa, probably this week we have an appointment with the leadership of Rossoblu club.[LNB]"Last week we talked with management of Genoa for what concerns the employment of the player. [LNB]"As I understand there isn't the agreement between Genoa and Portsmouth".[LNB]Reports had circulated that Boateng was not keen on a switch to the Luigi Ferraris outfit, although Genoa were coy on such suggestions.[LNB]Sports director Stefano Capozucca told tuttomercatoweb: "If Boateng refused to come to Genoa? These are all rumours, there's nothing official."[LNB]Miele wouldn't rule out a move to another Serie A team in the form of Lazio, saying a switch to the Rome-based club was a distinct possibility.[LNB]He added in La Repubblica: "Lazio (interested in Boateng)? It is a distant hypothesis, but everything can change in football. Never say never, because we don't hurry."
