27 July 2016 - 08:22

Liverpool are open to loan offers for out-of-favour striker Mario Balotelli. The Reds have failed to offload the player due to his hefty wage demands.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Arsenal suffer big injury blow ahead of Fulham game
  • Balotelli joined the Reds from AC Milan two years ago, and netted a solitary goal in 16 appearances.

    He followed to return to Milan on a temporary basis last season, but was unable to live up to his expectations once again.

    Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has urged Balotelli to find a fresh challenge in the transfer window as he is not in his plans for next season.

    According to Turkish source Fanatik, Besiktas have expressed interest in recruiting the Italian on a season-long loan this summer.

    But, the Reds would have to pay a portion of his salary package for the deal to go through.

    Balotelli, who has two years left on his existing deal, has previously caught the radar of Inter Milan and Sampdoria.
