<h3>Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero has confirmed that the club are interested in signing Liverpool FC striker Mario Balotelli.</h3> Following his a 20 million (A?16m) move from AC Milan last summer, Mario Balotelli has struggled at Liverpool FC with player <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/liverpool-fc-flop-balotelli-linked-with-move-to-ac-milan-sampdoria-reports/">linked with a possible exit to Sampdoria</a> for a while, now. 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. He struggled to get in the team and made only 10 starts in the league scoring just once a a winner against Tottenham Hotspur. <h3>Sampdoria president lures Balotelli with promise to help relaunch his career</h3> "Balotelli is a great player," Ferrero told reporters. "At Sampdoria he would have the opportunity to relaunch his career in a city where he would have less pressure. "I like him so much, but I heard he earns a 10m-a-year at Liverpool, while here he would have to settle for a 1m." <h3>Certain to leave, but wages a problem</h3> . Balotelli is certain to leave Anfield and Liverpool Echo reporter James Pearce had earlier said: <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> 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 to make a move to Sampdoria as Ferrero claimed, too. But with Euro 2016 in the summer following the 15-16 season, Balotelli will want to start firing again and may very well consider the move.
