Liverpool are open to the prospect of offloading Italy striker Mario Balotelli to bring in Luciano Vietto during the summer transfer window.

Balotelli joined the Reds from AC Milan over the summer, as a replacement for Luis Suarez, who left Merseyside for a switch to Barcelona.

However, the Italian international has since then failed to cement his place in the first-team setup, due to his lack of composure infront of goal.

According to The Express, the Reds are ready to sell off Balotelli to Sampdoria such that they can seal a deal for Villareal\'s Vietto in the summer.

Vietto has notched up 18 goals in 35 games for Villareal this season.
