A Serie A club have put Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski at the top of their summer transfer wish-list.
That's according to Italian transfer specialist, Marco Conterio, who reports Genoa are ready to go all out to sign the prolific goalscorer once Mateo Retegui completes his medical to join Atalanta.
Miovski, 25, is expected to cost any serious bidder around £6million, with Espanyol having a derisory offer rejected last month, while Bologna, Girona and Southampton continue to keep an eye on his availability.
The Aberdeen talisman netted 26 times last season and featured from the off in Aberdeen's 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory over St Johnstone on Monday night, having been used sparingly throughout the Reds' Premier Sports Cup group stage campaign.

His Aberdeen teammate, Jamie McGrath, couldn't have been more complimentary of Miovski's professionalism as he made his first start of the season during the win in Perth.
The North Macedonian internationalist played the full 90 minutes and appeared laser-focused on ensuring the Dons went back up the A90 with maximum points.
That’s despite the continued speculation about his future being heightened by images circulating online of him packing his bags into a car with suggestions he had said his final goodbyes on Wednesday.
“He could have looked like he wasn’t match sharp but that wasn’t the case,” McGrath stated, when asked about Miovski's contribution at McDiarmid Park.
“He nearly stuck one in the top bin from 30 yards. He was a breath of fresh air to get back into the team and he gives us that point to link up.
“You know when he has the ball he rarely gives it away. As a midfielder, that’s the dream. He is only going to get sharper going into the season and long may that continue.”
