Bologna would like to give Mario Balotelli another opportunity in Serie A.

Balotelli is still just 24 and his position at Liverpool is uncertain following their acquisition of Christian Benteke.

Sampdoria have already expressed their interest in bringing Balotelli back to the league where he has represented both Inter and AC Milan, and now Bologna’s director of sport, Pantaleo Corvino, has hinted at a loan deal.

“I would take him, he would be highly motivated here,” Corvino told the Corriere dello Sport. “Of course, Bologna have to respect certain financial parameters, but for the right price I would even look at the possibility of buying him outright.”
