Copa Libertadores final could be played in Europe as Genoa make strong case for hosting the game
Italian city are willing to host the clash between Boca Juniors and River Plate after it was postponed twice this weekend
GENOA have offered to host the Copa Libertadores final because both teams have historical ties to the Italian city.
Chaos erupted in Argentina when River Plate hooligans ambushed the Boca Juniors team bus before the second leg.
The match was postponed twice this weekend but Genoa have invited both clubs to play at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Stefano Anzalone, Genoa's councillor for Sport, said: "We would be proud to welcome you to what, in a way, is your first home."
"It would be an opportunity to renew the deep sense of friendship that has historically united us."
South American football confederation CONMEBOL will meet with both clubs on Tuesday to make the official decision.
The Italian city have sent a letter to Boca Juniors president Daniel Angelici and River Plate chief Rodolfo D'Onofrio.
Genoa believe they stand a good chance of hosting the clash because both teams were founded by Genoese immigrants at the start of the twentieth century.
According to , the letter from Alzalone read: "Our city, which historically, culturally and through sport, is close to Buenos Aires, feels a deep-rooted link to your two prestigious clubs.
"Founded by our countrymen who emigrated from Italy to Argentina in the early 1900s, and today twinned our two clubs Genoa and Sampdoria."
The Superclasico was due to be played on Saturday but it was postponed until Sunday following the bus attack.
it was confirmed on Sunday, however, that it would not take place because the Boca players were not fit to play.
A number of the players needed hospital treatment after windows were smashed and tear gas was used.
The team's bus driver fainted when his vehicle came under attack and the club's vice president had to jump behind the wheel.
And one River Plate supporter was arrested after she appeared to strap flares around her son's body before entering the stadium.
