Manchester City have had enough of Mario Balotelli and, according to The Times, the player is up for sale.

SuperMario continues to struggle in Premier League despite having scored a number of impressive goals.

The Italian’s career has been clearly jeopardised by his behavioural problems and even Roberto Mancini has agreed to offload him.

Now for Mario there seem to be only two options for his Serie A return: Inter or Milan?

Both clubs would certainly be interested but only for a discounted price tag...

• Malaga between Juve & Higuain

Gonzalo Higuain could leave Real Madrid in the summer but Juventus are not his only admirers.

Malaga have shown interest in the player and Director Fernando Hierro is planning to meet up with his former colleagues at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Financially, the club from Andalusia would certainly represent an appealing option for the Argentine striker. Furthermore, Malaga would have no problem is matching Real’s €40M demand.

Sheik Abdullah Bin Nassar Al-Thani has already given his thumb up for the deal so Juve can only hope that Malaga fail to qualify to next season’s Champions League in order to have an advantage in the negotiations table.

• Genoa fire Marino?

The heavy defeat in San Siro against Inter might have marked the end of Pasquale Marino’s era at Genoa.

President Preziosi has had a meeting with the coach and according to Sky Sport 24, Marino will be fired shortly.

Alberto Malesani could be called back to help Il Grifone in the race against relegation. The Rossoblu are in a critical position as they stand only six points ahead of Lecce.
