What’s next for Balotelli?
Posted on June 25, 2016 at 9:34 am
Mario Balotelli has returned to Liverpool from AC Milan after failing to impress after a loan spell. He’s said the reason he’s underperformed the last two years is because the expectations placed on his shoulders were low. He’s relishing a return to English football and a return to form, but Jurgen Klopp has already struggled with Benteke, a proven striker in the Premier League and his teams seem to function better when they have a striker who runs beyond defenders. Balotelli doesn’t fit in with this tactic, he likes to hold the ball up and turn players, but he doesn’t have the pace that he used to, so all we can see next for Mario is to be shown the exit door. That’s easier said than done though because at the moment no clubs have shown firm interest. We’re sure this will resolve itself soon so keep an eye out.
