Genoa are leading the hunt over a number of Serie A sides to sign Corinthians central defender Gil.
The 27 year old Brazilian international has established himself as one of the best defenders in his homeland over the past few years, and looks set for a move to Europe.
Pianetagenoa1893.net report that Genoa are making early moves to try and secure the signature of the towering center back, who has a contract expiring at the end of the season.
Genoa are convinced they can secure a cut-price move for the defender, but will face competition from Napoli, Lazio and Sassuolo.
