Mario Balotelli, the official announcement comes: the bomber has chosen his future, here’s what it is
Balotelli, l’annuncio ufficiale: il bomber ha scelto il suo futuro – SerieAnews
Mario Balotelli is without peace. The class of ’90 bomber is experiencing a paradoxical situation in Genoa. The center forward was chosen by the previous coach, Alberto Gilardino, who wanted him almost at all costs to solve the Grifone’s atavistic problem regarding offensive production.
The 2006 World Champion also recently explained the reasons for that choice: considered a great footballer by the coach, he had seen in him the necessary “hunger” of someone who still wants to prove his qualities. Released at the beginning of the season, SuperMario trained on his own with a personal athletic trainer to make himself ready for a team’s call.
And he had several offers in the first months of the season: in high demand abroad, from Saudi countries to Brazil to India and South Korea. Proposals all sent back to sender because Balo only wanted Italy, preferably Serie A. And between Torino – which had also lost Zapata to injury – and Genoa, in the end he chose the Grifone.

I had convinced him the project, Gilardino’s words that he was central to his ideas. Everything, however, turned upside down with the exoneration of the former striker and the arrival of Vieira, not exactly SuperMario’s best friend. The rifts in the Nice days never overcome and the use with the dropper: just 56′ of play in six total minutes in Serie A with zero goals to his credit.

A situation that had led SuperMario to look around in this January market, with the Grifone’s ds also open to the number 45’s farewell. Moreover, there had been no lack of interest in him.
Venezia, having lost Pohjanpalo, made a poll towards Balotelli, same goes for Monza, which was even close to signing him before the deal jumped a few hours before the end of the gong. And earlier, Trapani – but in Serie C – had also shown interest in the striker, actually seducing him via social media as well.

Balotelli, in the end, stayed in Genoa: for the bomber, now, there are only foreign solutions to find continuity and go to play leaving the rossoblu jersey. One of the markets still open is the Turkish one and pe Balotelli would be a return to the Super Lig even though SuperMario seems unwilling to leave Italy and especially fly to Turkey.

And the striker, after weeks of silence, used social media to express his thoughts and make them known. In a story posted on Instagram, Balotelli can be seen in close-up zooming in deep to frame the Genoa crest present on his training jersey.
“I am still trying to keep my promise,” he then wrote in English. In fact, it was a message to everyone: he wants to stay at Genoa and he wants to gain the space he deserves.
