<h3 style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>Italian Serie A new boys Bologna have declared interest in signing Liverpool FC flop Mario Balotelli on loan.</em></strong></h3> <h3 style="text-align: justify"></h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Following his a 20 million (A?16m) move from <a title="ac milan" href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/category/serie-a-2/ac-milan/"><strong>AC Milan</strong></a> last summer, Mario Balotelli has struggled at Liverpool FC. The player has been <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/sampdoria-president-urges-mario-balotelli-to-join-them/">linked with a possible exit to Sampdoria</a> for sometime now.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Much was expected of Balotelli at Anfield, but, the player was perhaps a square peg in a round hole in the system at Liverpool FC.</p> . <p style="text-align: justify">He struggled to get in the team and made only 10 starts in the league scoring just once a a winner against <a title="tottenham hotspur" href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/category/english-premier-league/tottenham-hotspur/"><strong>Tottenham Hotspur</strong></a>.</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify">Bologna confirm interest in signing Balotelli</h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Bologna, the newly promoted Serie A side, have become the latest Italian club to express their interest in the maverick Italian forward.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Bologna's director of sport, Pantaleo Corvino, was quoted saying by <a href="http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/liverpool-fc-misfit-mario-balotelli-9753006">Liverpool Echo</a> that the club would consider a loan move for Mario Balotelli and have not ruled out a possible offer for permanent transfer.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Corvino said: <em>I would take him, he would be highly motivated here" </em></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><em>a Of course, Bologna have to respect certain financial parameters, but for the right price I would even look at the possibility of buying him outright.a </em></p> <h3 style="text-align: justify">Certain to leave, but wages a problem.</h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Balotelli is certain to leave Anfield, and Liverpool Echo reporter James Pearce was <a href="http://www.thisisanfield.com/2015/06/i-amazed-mario-balotelli-stays-liverpool-according-journalist/">quoted </a>saying:</p> <blockquote><em>a I would be absolutely amazed if Mario Balotelli was still a Liverpool player on the first day of next season. You only have to look at how fleetingly he was used last season to see where he stands.a </em> <em>a I certainly expect Balotelli to move, possibly to Sampdoria, but Liverpool may struggle to get even half of what they paid for him (A?16m).a </em></blockquote> <p style="text-align: justify">And while Liverpool FC may settle for a loss on the player, his wages, reportedly 6 million Euro per season, could be a stumbling block as Corvino himself was quoted saying above.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">With <a title="euro 2016" href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/category/internationals/euro-2016/"><strong>Euro 2016</strong></a> in the summer following the 2015-16 season, Balotelli would want to start firing again and cannot afford to spend another season on the bench at Liverpool FC.</p>
