These are words we never thought we’d write, but it appears Mino Raiola is getting desperate.
The man behind two of the biggest moves of the summer in Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba to Manchester United (as well as Henrikh Mkhitaryan) cannot find Mario Balotelli a new club.
The Italian striker has no future whatsoever at Liverpool, with Jürgen Klopp making that very clear, and a return to Serie A was touted.
Both Bologna and Lazio were reportedly interested, with the latter’s manager even acknowledging a deal wouldn’t be the worst of ideas, but the latest article on France Football’s website suggests Ligue 1 could be Balotelli’s next stop.
According to the French magazine, the Dutch super agent has offered his client to Nantes in Ligue 1.
If wages were a problem for the Italian clubs, they certainly will be for Nantes as well.
Regardless of where Balotelli ends up, Liverpool are going to have to pay a chunk of his salary, unless they find him a big club, but as of now, we can’t see any who want him.
