SION PRESIDENT CHRISTIAN Constantin has claimed that his side are in talks to sign Mario Balotelli from Liverpool.
The Italy international has been training with the youth sides at Anfield after being informed by Jurgen Klopp that he is not in his plans for this season.
Moves back to Serie A with Bologna and Sassuolo have been suggested most recently, though the 26-year-old has yet to find a new club with just a week remaining in the transfer window.
However, Swiss Super League side Sion — who faced Liverpool in the group stages of last season’s Europa League — have made contact over the prospect of taking Balotelli to Stade Tourbillon.
“I can confirm that we’re speaking, negotiations are underway,” Constantin told ticinonews.ch. “Of course, I can’t say now if it will be successful or not.”
Sion are reported to be keen to sign a new striker before the transfer market closes, with star forward Moussa Konate linked with a move to Hull City.
Balotelli spent last season on loan with AC Milan, but scored just one goal in 20 Serie A appearances.
What a wasted talent
Definitely his own worst enemy.
Was/is he really that good tho? Cant say i ever saw it…..
You could say that about a few players at Liverpool recently.
You could say that about every team in the world
Not since he joined Liverpool I mean it all went downhill at city
What does that mean Ted? Seen the same thing recently happen at a ‘rich’ club….
He should just move to the mls and enjoy the sun .hes an over rated pre Madonna just get him off the wage budget and let them have him for free
Ryan.
His agent has been flogging him all over the world . No offers or interest from MLS teams or China
Why would they. Any team who picks him up are in for trouble. He’s proved again and again that he doesn’t really care about football. I believe he has a massive attention span deficit. Good piano player though
Teams in China love throwing money away at average enough players but even they won’t waste their money on a waster like him.
Dave, exceptional talent, Homers attention span……
Pre-Madonna?? I didn’t think he was that old
Transfer window is closed in China
Quiz of the week, question 1. When did the pre Madonna era actually begin?
You mean prima donna? Because I suppose the pre Madonna era began sometime before the Madonna era.
Never convinced about his talent,good players have to do it on a regular basis,he only ever did it once in a blue moon
