Mario Balotelli insists that he’s training while waiting for the best project for him. ‘Many things have been made up.’
The Italian striker is without a club after the end of his contract with Adana Demirspor in June.
A former Inter, Milan, Liverpool and Manchester City striker, Balotelli has been linked with a move to Serie B side Palermo. Recent reports suggested that an Indian club, Kerala Blasters, refused to sign the 34-year-old for disciplinary reasons.
Balotelli hit back at recent speculation with an Instagram story, as quoted by Gazzetta.
Balotelli hits back at transfer speculation
“I’ve noticed that many things about me have been made up recently. The only thing I am doing is working hard, training, and being ready for wherever I’ll play,” the Italian striker wrote in an Instagram story.
“I’ll talk very soon to clarify everything. The important thing for me is to work and be serene. I’ve received several offers, and I am looking for the best project for me. Newspapers, clubs, and people can continue to say bu*******. Time to time.”
Balotelli scored 52 goals in 141 Serie A appearances for Brescia, Inter and Milan and won the 2010 Champions League with the Nerazzurri under José Mourinho.
He also netted 21 Premier League goals in 70 appearances with Liverpool and Manchester City.
His last two clubs were FC Sion in Switzerland and Adana Demirspor in Turkey. The Italian striker has netted 25 times in 49 games in the Turkish Super Lig.
A wasted career. He could have been one of the greatest ever if he had the proper mentality and work ethic!
Hull City need a striker.
I hope he makes a cameo in the next Super Mario movie…
