Mario Balotelli Transfer from Genoa to Venezia

Mario Balotelli was offered to Venezia at very low prices, but the club did not show interest. The club preferred other options instead of Balotelli.

Mario Balotelli is being considered by Venezia as a potential signing. Genoa has already given Balotelli the green light to find a new club, and Venezia has shown interest close to the closure of the winter market. Other clubs like Empoli and Trapani were also considered.

Mario Balotelli's tenure at Genoa appears to be nearing its conclusion. After joining the team in late October as a backup for Andrea Pinamonti, Balotelli has only managed to clock 56 minutes across six matches and has not been featured in the last six league games by coach Patrick Vieira. As Balotelli finds himself slipping down the team hierarchy, he has decided to explore new opportunities. Genoa's sporting director, Ottolini, confirmed that it is necessary to find a suitable club for Balotelli where he can get playing time. Balotelli had previously rejected offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia, Brazil (Corinthians), Japan, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea. At present, Venezia has expressed interest in Balotelli, with initial discussions already underway, according to reports from Sky Sport.

Mario Balotelli is not part of Genoa's future plans and has been put on the market. Genoa is looking to release him by February 3rd. There are rumors of interest from Venezia for a Serie A stay.

Mario Balotelli is reportedly close to departing Genoa, a club he joined in late October. Despite limited playtime—only 56 minutes across six matches—and his last appearance being a loss to Napoli on December 21, he has been proposed to Venezia and Monza in search of more playing opportunities. Italian football insiders, Fabrizio Romano and Nicolo Schira, have discussed his potential exit, noting a contract clause that permits termination at any time, although it remains uncertain whether Balotelli is interested in moving to Venezia or Monza. Furthermore, there is interest from the Mexican club Cruz Azul, which is said to offer him an annual salary of two million euros.
