Milan: No Liverpool offer for Mario Balotelli

There has been speculation in recent weeks over a possible return to the Premier League for the 24-year-old.

MILAN HAVE RECEIVED no offers from Liverpool for Mario Balotelli, although chief executive Adriano Galliani refused to rule out a move.

There has been widespread speculation in recent weeks over a possible return to the Premier League for the 24-year-old.

Liverpool, who lost star man Luis Suarez to Barcelona last month, have been heavily linked with a move for the forward.

Galliani stated on Wednesday that no bid has been made, but stopped short of dismissing any talk of a potential switch in the near future.

“At the moment there has been no offer from Liverpool from Balotelli, so there are no negotiations,” he told ANSA.
“But the transfer market finishes on September 1, so we’ll see.”

Balotelli won one league crown and an FA Cup during two-and-a-half seasons at Manchester City, setting up the dramatic last-gasp winner for Sergio Aguero in an enthralling finish to the Premier League title race in 2011-12.

The Italy international returned to his homeland in January 2013 to join Milan, scoring 12 league goals in 13 appearances, before netting a further 14 in a side that struggled for large parts of last season.

    He’d be a great buy, though BR would need to work at him like he did with a young Sterling. Much better option than eto’o and much younger than cavani

    As a ‘Pool fan I hope this is just tabloid garbage. I know he can pull off a bit of magic every now & then but his lack of running, clumsy fouling and terrible attitude out weighs that ten-fold. Liverpool had a great season last year based on a hard working team ethic. This clown will undo that in the first month. Say what you will about Suarez but his work rate was better than anyone else in the game!

    Why would Liverpool want him anyway? Get rid of one nut job then take in another.. Can’t see that happening..

    I would like to mention there have been no offers for me either. I will be playing 6 a side futsal on friday night and will have a 6 or seven beers and a burger meal afterwards if anyone wants to discuss a deal. I still reckon i am good for one more season if the knees hold up…

    Falcao on season long loan would be the job
