Liverpool are hoping to make Mario Balotelli the latest high-profile European to make the with to China, according to The Daily Telegraph.
Balotelli, 25, was signed by Brendan Rodgers for £16m in 2014 but failed to make any sort of positive impact and was farmed out on loan to AC Milan in August.
And despite there being a change of manager, Jurgen Klopp has instructed Balotelli’s agent, Mino Raiola, to start the search for the Italian’s next club.
Liverpool are not expecting Milan to make the loan switch permeant at the end of the season and have not offered his services to a host of Chinese Super League teams, who have until February 26 to sign players for their upcoming season.
Balotelli hasn’t scored a league goal from open-play since February 2015 (vs Tottenham).
