What will happen to Mario Balotelli? The question is relevant again after his dramatic 56-minute spell at Genoa. The 34-year-old Italian striker`s contract expires on June 30th, and all signs point to him leaving the Grifone and coach Vieira. According to the newspaper AS, his agents have already proposed him to another club, one of the leading teams in the Spanish third division.
Indeed, `Super Mario“s representatives reportedly met in Madrid with Felipe Moreno, president of Murcia, to explore the possibility of the player moving to Spain and playing for Fran Fernandez`s team. It is understood that the club`s sporting directorate will evaluate the received proposal to determine if the former Manchester City and Milan player fits within their sporting project and financial capabilities.
However, signing Balotelli would be a high-profile, luxury acquisition for Real Murcia, bringing in a striker with significant media presence and a desire for personal redemption after his difficult spell at Genoa. This is especially relevant as the red-and-whites are among the strongest teams in their category and are obligated to fight for the top spot in the standings. This season, they were eliminated in the promotion playoffs for Segunda Division (Spanish Serie B), losing in the semi-finals against Gimnastic de Tarragona. For his part, Balotelli wants to put his brief Serie A minutes behind him and rediscover joy on the field. Perhaps in Spain, at Murcia.
