Former Manchester City striker, Mario Balotelli, has insisted that his football journey is far from finished.
The ex-AC Milan and Inter forward, currently a free agent, shared the update during his appearance at the Trento Sports Festival, emphasizing that he still has plenty to offer on the pitch.
Balotelli revealed that he declined multiple offers from clubs outside Italy this summer, aiming instead to continue his career in his home country.
“I’m in a bit of a stalemate. I train several times a week on my own, and I’m feeling great physically. I’ve had offers from abroad, but I was hoping to find a team in Italy.
“I’ve had a few offers now, but I have to decide whether to sign immediately or wait until the January transfer window.
“For me, the national team is a fundamental point. It’s not an attack on anyone, but many times I see players playing for the national team without that desire to prove themselves, to defend the country’s shirt, and I don’t like it.
“When I was in the national team, I was proud to represent Italy, and that’s something I miss.
“Was I the last centre forward to play in a World Cup? Yeah, they told me that.”
