Genoa president Enrico Preziosi has revealed that he will sit down with his Inter representatives at the end of the season to sort out Juraj Kucka's future.

Kucka, who is co-owned by the two clubs, very nearly joined the Nerazzurri at the tail end of the January transfer window only for both parties to ultimately decide that it would be best for the Slovakia international to remain at the Luigi Ferraris.

However, Preziosi has admitted that the midfielder could end up belatedly arriving at San Siro in the summer.

"Kucka to Inter? We will speak again in June because we have a co-ownership with Inter and we must discuss it," he explained to Corriere dello Sport.

"The boy understood that he would remain with us until June and I'm counting on him to behave well in this period."

Kucka joined Genoa from Sparta Praha for a reported fee of £3 million in January of last year before Inter acquired half of the player's contract just over six months later.
