The 20-year-old has failed to make an impact since joining the Old Lady in the summer, despite his reputation as one of the most promising young defenders in Italy. So far this term Criscito has made seven Serie A appearances, and looked particularly exposed during two of them away to Cagliari and Roma.
Genoa are said to be keen to have Criscito back in their squad, so a six-month deal could be finalized in time for January. Juve are also said to be negotiating with Palermo, however.
The player himself is apparently troubled by the reports as he is determined to set himself through at Juventus despite the initial growing pains.
The Bianconeri secured full-ownership of Criscito in January of this year, by buying out the remaining 50 per cent of his contract from Genoa.
Criscito started his professional career with Genoa and indeed made his debut for the club in 2003 at the age of just 16.
