Balotelli to Juve played down

A report in the Italian Press has played down talk of Mario Balotelli joining Juventus, “not even on a free transfer.”

The Sun reported on Monday that Balotelli had agreed a sensational switch to Juve in the summer, but Calciomercato.com claims to have received no confirmation that any deal exists.

The website explains Mino Raiola has offered the Nice striker to the Old Lady “on several occasions” in the past.

The website explains Mino Raiola has offered the Nice striker to the Old Lady “on several occasions” in the past.

However, “environmental, disciplinary and technical-tactical reasons” would have prevented the Bianconeri from taking on the 27-year-old.

Consequently, CM states Balotelli “doesn’t interest Juve, not even now or on a free transfer.”
