Liverpool in talks to sign Mario Balotelli

Liverpool have opened talks with AC Milan over a move for striker Mario Balotelli, Sky sources understand.

Boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to add another forward to his squad and appears to have turned to Balotelli after growing frustrated in his pursuit of Monaco’s Colombia striker Radamel Falcao.

Rodgers had previously appeared reticent about Balotelli’s attitude and character and stated a couple of weeks ago the former Manchester City player was not one of his targets.

Balotelli’s three seasons at City were blighted by trouble, on and off the field, although he did manage 30 goals for the club in all competitions.

Milan would prefer a permanent deal for Balotelli but it has been reported Liverpool’s enquiry is for a loan deal.
