According to Le10Sports, Marseille has placed Mario Balotelli on their search list for a summer striker. The Italian forward, who has played last season at Nice, may be parlayed at zero cost after his contract with the club expires on June 30. Recent suggestions have linked SuperMario to a return to Serie A, while others have maintained the Italian is happy in France. As of yet, no renewal with Nice has been signed or negotiated, and the odds are that the player will open his options to see if any attractive proposals come forward.

Balotelli has not featured with the Italian national team for …. Years, and he could see this year as a potential season to regain his spot with the Azzurri. As the World Cup in Russia draws closer with every passing month, players in Mario’s position will be searching for the project that best suits their current careers and their potential to represent their countries next summer. Should Balotelli keep his feet on the ground the way he did last year in France, he will have a chance to catch Ventura’s eye. For now, time will tell as to which city SuperMario calls home next.
