A Mario Balotelli transfer back to the Premier League could be on the cards this summer if quotes from his agent Mino Raiola are anything to go by.
The Nice striker is reportedly available on a free transfer and his representative Mino Raiola says he’s held talks with clubs from Serie A and England, report the Daily Mirror.
Balotelli notably flopped in his most recent spell in English football as he scored just one league goal in 16 appearances for Liverpool, looking far from the player he looked at AC Milan
Still, he’s been on fire again in France, scoring 39 goals in 58 games for Nice to prompt his agent Raiola to describe him as being among the top ten strikers in the world and worth as much as £88million.
Balotelli certainly showed flashes of world class potential during his Manchester City days, so here’s our take on five Premier League clubs who could do with gambling on him at this stage…
Manchester United
Raiola is well-connected at Old Trafford, with Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku among his clients, as of course was Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
So could that help engineer a reunion between Balotelli and Jose Mourinho at United? The pair worked together at Inter Milan and though their relationship was short-lived, there seemed some chemistry and potential for success.
