In November, Balotelli asserted his status as the “strongest” Italian striker, aiming for a national team comeback. Now, there’s speculation about his return to Serie A, with Udinese, Salernitana, and Empoli expressing interest, according to reports from Foot Mercato. His contract in Turkey concludes this summer.

Limited by knee surgery, Balotelli has had minimal playing time this season, featuring in just five league matches. Despite scoring three goals, the 33-year-old is eager to rejoin Serie A, aspiring to be in contention for Italy’s Euro 2024 squad.

Having navigated a nomadic career post-Manchester City in 2013, including stints at AC Milan, Liverpool, Nice, Marseille, Brescia, Monza, Adana Demirspor, and Sion, Balotelli has accrued 36 caps for Italy, scoring 14 goals.

As the January transfer window persists, Balotelli aims to secure a move swiftly to bolster his chances of participating in the European Championships. The impact of his current injury status on his availability remains uncertain.
