Besiktas are interested in signing Mario Balotelli from Liverpool according to Fanatik, but there may be an issue with the Italian international’s wages.

The Turkish website believes that the €5.5million a year that the Reds pay the 25 year old would be too much for the Turkish champions and it will be something that will have to be negotiated. Besiktas president Fikret Orman has confirmed that Balotelli is an option stating:

“Balotelli? why not, if he meets our requirements.”

Besiktas were hoping to keep Germany international Mario Gomez after a successful loan spell from Fiorentina but the 31 year old opted against staying in Turkey citing the tense political situation after the failed military coup in the country. Besiktas have previously dismissed links with Balotelli but with the Italian currently training with the Reds’ youth team, and Jurgen Klopp wanting the player to depart, the Turkish are hoping to get a good deal.
