Mario Balotelli is currently looking for a new club. But the situation seems almost hopeless. However, the 35-year-old still has a dream.
Mario Balotelli is looking for a new club – once again! After three months without a club, the Italian has now announced that he is looking for a new adventure. It would be his eighth club in seven years. But the situation seems more difficult than expected.
Allegedly, there was an offer from Real Murcia in the last transfer period, but a commitment never materialized. “Secretly, I had hoped to spend another one or two years in Italy. But the opportunity to return did not arise.”
Balotelli dreams of comeback for Italy’s national team
Nevertheless, Balotelli does not want to give up. On the contrary: He is thinking beyond the club level.
“I still want to play for the national team,” said the 35-year-old. He last played there seven years ago in a Nations League match. In total, he made 36 international appearances and scored 14 goals.
Balotelli has already had many transfers
Most recently, Balotelli was under contract with CFC Genoa in Serie A, but he rarely played there during eight months. After leaving OGC Nice in 2019, Balotelli was almost constantly searching.
Time and again, the former enfant terrible was temporarily without a club, such as in 2020, 2024, and now since July. In total, he has already been under contract with twelve clubs from five countries during his career.
