According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Manchester City striker could now leave the club when the transfer window opens next month.
The Genoa coach has preferred Andrea Pinamonti, Jeff Ekhator and Vitinha over Balotelli in recent weeks.
The report adds that Mexican side Cruz Azul are interested in signing the Premier League-winning striker to bolster their attack in Liga MX.
The transfer window in Mexico is already open and Brazilian outfit RTI Esporte have reported that Balotelli and the Cruz Azul bosses are progressing in talks, which includes discussions about a salary.
