Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini rules-out a move for Mario Balotelli – “we can’t solve his problems”.
The striker was born in the Sicilian city, leading to rumours he could join the Rosanero for the coming season, as he’s not wanted by Liverpool.
“Technically, there’s nothing to discuss with the lad,” Zamparini acknowledged on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini rules-out a move for Mario Balotelli – “we can’t solve his problems”.
The striker was born in the Sicilian city, leading to rumours he could join the Rosanero for the coming season, as he’s not wanted by Liverpool.
“Technically, there’s nothing to discuss with the lad,” Zamparini acknowledged on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“But what kind of desire and drive would a lad who is earning €5m-€6m a year have to come to Palermo? We can’t solve Balotelli’s problems.”
Zamparini was also asked about Napoli, who have sold Gonzalo Higuain to Juventus for €90m.
“I haven’t heard from De Laurentiis, I thought at one point he’d ask me for [Franco] Vazquez but he went to Sevilla.
“Napoli lost Higuain, but I think they have someone stronger than him and his name is Gabbiadini. I also prefer [Mauro] Icardi.”
Balotelli has been linked with Chievo but, while the striker is open to a move, his wages may cause a problem.
