The Italian midfielder has helped guide his club into third in the Serie A table this season thanks to a strong start, but despite that the left-back has admitted that he has his eye on a switch to Liverpool.
“My dream is to one day play for Liverpool,” he said.
“Anfield is like the Luigi Ferraris, their stand is similar to the Gradinata Nord.
“But I am still young, there will be time to talk about this again.”
The 27-year-old will come up against AC Milan this weekend, and as a result may be able to pit himself against former Anfield hero Fernando Torres.
An Italian international with seven caps, Antonelli began his career with Milan, but could only make a single appearance. He moved on to Parma via Bari before joining Genoa in 2011.
