Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Mario Balotelli has no future with Liverpool and he should begin looking for another club.

Liverpool also have Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke, Divock Origi and Danny Ings on the books.

“I have spoken to him about this,” the manager told reporters. “He’s not at the stage of his career where he should be battling with four or five other players for one or two positions … so it’s clear we need a solution. There will be a club around who would be happy to have the new Mario Balotelli. I have spoken clearly to the player about that.”

Liverpool bought Balotelli in 2014 and he spent last season on loan with AC Milan.
