Currently free from any contract after a very short stint at Genoa, Mario Balotelli is not yet finished with football. At 35, the Italian center forward, known for having had a career well below what his strong potential suggested, spoke about his future during the Festival dello Sport in Trento, Italy. “I'm in a bit of a bind. I train alone several times a week and I feel very good physically. I received offers from abroad, but I was hoping to find a team in Italy. I have received several, but I have to decide whether I sign immediately or wait until the January transfer window”explained the former Manchester City and Liverpool player.
He then spoke of the Italian national team and the pride of representing it: “For me, selection is fundamental. I'm not attacking anyone, but I often see players playing in the national team without this desire to prove themselves, to defend their country's jersey, and I don't like that. When I was in the national team, I was proud to represent Italy, and that's something I miss. Was I the last center forward to play in a World Cup? Yes, I was told that. » It remains to be seen which club will be ready to offer him a new opportunity.
