Sampdoria reveal Mario Balotelli interest

Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero has admitted that the club are interested in signing Mario Balotelli, insisting the striker could relaunch his career there.

Federation Internationale de Football Association agent Furio Valcareggi believes that a move to Fiorentina may make Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli understand he is in the last chance saloon if he wishes to play at the highest level.

The Northern Irish boss wants his players to apply high pressure, defend from the front and provide plenty of movement in the final third, attributes which the former AC Milan man simply doesn’t possess.

“I like him so much, but I heard he earns €10m-a-year at Liverpool, while here he would have to settle for €1m”. We’re also on Instagram.

The Blucerchiati are reportedly considering bringing back Antonio Cassano too, giving the attacking duo the opportunity to play alongside each other again after their successful spell together for the Azzurri.

“I’m putting some money aside to be able to buy him. We are trying to build a strong team”.

Meanwhile, though Benteke will join the Reds, he is highly unlikely to join up with Liverpool for any part of their pre-season tour as negotiations continue over his move from Aston Villa.
