Mario Balotelli closing in on shock return to Italy

 

Mario Balotelli is closing in on a sensational move to Juventus, reports The Sun.

 

The 27-year-old has entered the final six months of existing Nice deal and is free to discuss pre-contract terms with other teams.

 

Balotelli has enjoyed a sublime season and his agent, Mino Raiola, is reportedly close to brokering a stunning return to Italy.  

 

Juventus are already trying to secure Liverpool midfielder Emre Can on a free transfer in the summer and are looking to do the same with Balotelli.
