Genoa have sent midfielder Franco Zuculini back to Argentina to play for Racing Avellaneda after failing to settle.

The 20-year-old was one of several new signings over the summer when brought in on loan from Hoffenheim.

However, he barely featured in Serie A this season, so both clubs and Zuculini agreed it was best to interrupt this loan spell.

Instead he has flown back to Argentina to complete a move to Racing Avellaneda for the next six months.
