Mario Balotelli frozen, future to be written again: there is only one solution for the striker
Balotelli gelato, futuro da decifrare: c’è una sola soluzione – SerieAnews
Just 56′ in six total appearances for Mario Balotelli since his arrival at Genoa. Not quite the minutes and usage Supermario expected when, as a free agent, he accepted Genoa’s court despite the many offers he received. He was weighing them the Italian bomber, only to decide to bet on the Grifone. Merit also goes to Alberto Gilardino, the then coach of the Rossoblu team who had wanted him at all costs.
A confirmation came precisely in an interview with “La Gazzetta dello Sport.” “A challenge for both of us the choice to take Balotelli – the words of the coach – I would have tried to win it. As a player many doors in the face received in the last phase of my career, I know desire for revenge and anger in an athlete who wants to give again and in Mario I had perceived them,” Gilardino stressed.
Partly because of an offensive paucity evidenced in the first part of the season, Gilardino had decided to put his chips on Balotelli, convinced that he could still contribute. Then, however, the wheel turned the wrong way for both Gilardino and Balotelli.
Balotelli, da Gilardino a Vieira: l’addio e le trattative saltate
The coach was exonerated just before he could count on Balotelli himself and the class of ’90 bomber found himself without the one who had most decided to bet on him. And, an even more heinous mockery, Genoa signed Patrick Vieira, not exactly Supermario’s best friend. The two in their Nice days had had some evidently unresolved russets.

And in fact Vieira, as mentioned earlier, has practically never counted on him. Failures to convene in the last few matches have opened the door wide to a more than obvious farewell, which was also confirmed by the Grifone’s DS. And so negotiations began to look for a new arrangement for the center forward.
Torino had thought of him with Vanoli desperately searching for a bomber, then Venezia fresh from the sale of Pohjanpalo and without a top player in the offensive department. In the last hours of the soccer market, then, the resounding hypothesis of Monza had even popped up. The Brianzoli, desolately last in the standings, seemed to be one step away from bringing Supermario back to the U-Power stadium, complete with a 100,000-euro signing until June.
Balotelli, quale futuro? Le opzioni in piedi
It seemed done then everything blew up a few hours before the close of the session, as is often the case with soccer market. And now? Well, there are not that many alternatives. The market in Italy and Europe – at least in the major leagues – has officially closed and Balotelli cannot stay in Serie A, despite the fact that it was his main desire.

Genoa and Balotelli are now left with nothing but the markets still open, the “alternative” ones to avoid losing the chance to play and be decisive between now and next June. There will be no release, a hypothesis also revealed in recent hours, but club and player will decide together the best solution between now and the end of the season.
Abroad, however, there is no shortage of options for Balotelli. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are ready to shower him with millions, a suggestive hypothesis is also Brazil but the striker also has offers from South Korea and India. Where will Balotelli want to put himself on the line? A few days at most and we will find out.
