Liverpool Set to Offload Mario Balotelli to Fund Higuain and Romero Moves
Mario Balotelli’s short-lived stint at Liverpool is likely coming to an end. The Italian striker of Ghanaian origin, who joined the Reds last summer, has failed to make a lasting impact at Anfield — and both club and player appear ready to part ways.
According to the Daily Express, Liverpool are actively looking to sell Balotelli during the current winter transfer window. The sale would help raise funds for two high-profile targets:
Gonzalo Higuain, the prolific Argentine striker currently at Napoli, and
Sergio Romero, the Sampdoria and Argentina national team goalkeeper.
Balotelli has reportedly attracted interest from several Serie A clubs, with Naples (Napoli) mentioned as a possible destination.
Balotelli’s time in the Premier League has been marred by inconsistency and off-field distractions — a stark contrast to the hopes that surrounded his arrival.
