Mario Balotelli’s agent Mino Raiola has been talking again about his client’s future. The Liverpool striker has been told by Jurgen Klopp that he doesn’t have a future at Anfield but currently there are no clubs prepared to take a risk on the 25 year old.
Raiola told Corriere dello Sport (translated by Football-Italia.net) that he believes Balotelli deserves another opportunity to prove himself and that the improvements he has made in his life are genuine, and that he can make a big impact at his new club providing that he gets a bit more luck.
“In life it’s never too late. If you think Mario makes me despair, you’re wrong because his life has improved a lot and now he just needs the right opportunity. Of course, he also needs a bit of luck which he hasn’t had over the last two seasons, but I assure you he’s a great person, a lad with a big heart.”
The striker was disappointing in his only season with the Reds scoring just four goals in 28 appearances. He didn’t fare any better on a season long loan at Milan either as injury hampered his playing time and the Serie A side didn’t take up their option to keep him. Raiola has given another update on the player’s future. Balotelli was linked with a move to Inter to join up with his former boss Roberto Mancini but Raiola says that currently there are no offers on the table:
“Where will he go? I’m saying nothing. Let’s see what happens, I won’t close the door on any solution. That goes for Mario and all my players.”
