There are reports Mario Balotelli’s transfer to Olympique Marseille has been abandoned, but he doesn’t want a return to Nice.
The Italy international refused to attend pre-season training with Nice, as there is a gentlemen’s agreement in the contract allowing him to leave for €10m.
Nice were furious that he was pictured visiting the Marseille HQ for negotiations and a medical.
According to Italian reporter Davide Russo De Cerame, it was all for nothing, as talks have broken down and Balotelli is no longer heading to Marseille.

He doesn’t want a return to Nice either, so a Serie A switch is back on the cards.
Napoli would be the most likely option for SuperMario, though Roma, Inter and Lazio are also candidates.
