Mario Balotelli, the Italian striker with a career spanning some of Europe’s biggest clubs, has found himself without a team after a shocking turn of events in his latest transfer saga. The 34-year-old, who most recently played for Adana Demirspor in the Turkish Super Lig, was on the verge of signing with a new club when he received an unexpected response.
Fanatik report that throughout the transfer window, Balotelli had been in talks with several teams but failed to reach an agreement. His latest negotiations were with Indian club Kerala Blasters, who ultimately decided against offering him a contract. The club officials cited Balotelli’s history of disciplinary issues as the reason for their last-minute withdrawal.
The decision to pass on Balotelli was reportedly influenced by several infamous incidents from his past. These include setting off fireworks in the Adana Demirspor locker room and a similar incident in a teammate’s bathroom during his time at Manchester City. The club also considered his controversial celebration after scoring against Manchester United, where he revealed a “Why Always Me” t-shirt.
Balotelli’s career has been marked by flashes of brilliance on the pitch, but also by off-field antics that have often overshadowed his talents. His inability to secure a new club highlights the challenges he faces in convincing teams to take a chance on him, despite his undeniable skills.
