Milan want Serie A top scorer Marco Borriello back at the San Siro, according to Genoa president Enrico Preziosi.

Borriello, who tops the scoring charts with 19 goals from 33 games so far this season, joined Genoa from Milan at the beginning of the season in a co-ownership deal.
And his form since arriving at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris has been nothing short of sensational - not only is he on course to clinch this year's capocanoniere gong, but he is also likely to win a place in Roberto Donadoni's Italy squad for this summer's Euro 2008 tournament in Austria and Switzerland.
Understandably, his goals have not gone unnoticed, and the clamour for the 25-year-old's services has steadily increased over the course of the season.
But Preziosi claims there is only one club Borriello would move to, should the Grifone themselves fail to hang on to him at the end of the current campaign.
"He is not going to any other Italian club. If he doesn't stay at Genoa, he'll return to Milan," Preziosi told Radio Marte.
"The Rossoneri want him for sure. To make him stay we will have to make an important economic sacrifice."
Borriello's last stint at Milan was not without controversy after the Naples-born striker failed a drugs test in December 2006 and was banned for three months. He quit the San Siro for Genoa three months later.
