Genoa have strenuously denied reports that they are interested in signing Michael Owen.

The Serie A side were rumoured to be interested in taking the Newcastle striker to Italy next season.

The speculation is believed to have emanated from England, but Genoa owner Erico Preziosi insists there is no truth in the story.

"We have never thought about him," he said.

Preziosi acted in order to prevent the club's supporters from expecting a high-profile transfer to go through.

Genoa insist they have no desire to bolster their firepower at present, having re-signed Argentina international Diego Milito from Real Zaragoza over the summer.
