Chief Executive Giovanni Carnevali Confirms Sassuolo Rejected Mario Balotelli Move
Mario Balotelli, 26, has been deemed surplus to requirements at Liverpool.
Chief executive Giovanni Carnevali revealed Sassuolo turned down the opportunity to sign out-of-favour Liverpool forward Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli has been deemed surplus to requirements by Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, now training with the Premier League club's under-23 side following an unsuccessful loan spell at AC Milan last season.
The 26-year-old is struggling to find a new home after Besiktas coach Senol Gunes distanced himself from the Italian and Serie A side Sassuolo have added themselves to the list.
"Mino Raiola offered us Balotelli, but we refused," Carnevali told RaiSport's Zona11pm show.
In 20 league appearances for Milan in 2015-16, Balotelli scored just one goal.
