Mario Balotelli Return To England Looms As Barnsley Make Inquiry On Signing Player As Free Agent

 

Barnsley are reportedly considering signing Mario Balotelli as a free agent and have been making inquiries about the player, who has not been out-of-action since the start of this season. 

Balotelli started his footballing career at Lumezzane before joining Inter Milan where he had a successful three-year spell by winning three Serie A titles and the Champions League. He left the Serie A side to join Manchester City and yet top-up his title streak by winning the Premier League and FA Cup with the side. 

The Italian striker's career suffered a huge setback at Brescia where his contract was terminated over missing training sessions despite blaming his absence on health issues. 

Besides Barnsley, the 30-year-old is also speculated to be linked to another EFL Championship side, Watford, as the forward's return to playing in the English domestic league draws near.
