Mario Balotelli to force Liverpool exit

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli is reportedly keen on a move away from the club this summer.

The Italian international struggled to score goals on a regular basis on his return to the Premier League last summer.

It is now reported that the former Manchester City star will seek a fresh challenge, with Turkish side Trabzonspor keen on acquiring his services.

Balotelli was signed up as a replacement for Luis Suarez last term but he failed to hit the ground running, and was benched for much of the second half of the campaign.
