Mario Balotelli’s future at Genoa is under intense scrutiny following recent issues with manager Patrick Vieira.
According to today’s edition of La Repubblica, Balotelli’s stint at the club could be nearing its end.
The striker has been officially left out of the squad for the match against Roma.
A source close to the club revealed, “Balotelli’s exclusion from the squad is a clear indication that things are not going well between him and Vieira.”
Speculation is rife over whether the club is planning to offload the polarising forward in the upcoming transfer window.
Genoa fans are divided over the potential departure of Balotelli, with some expressing concern about losing a player of his calibre.
An anonymous fan mentioned, “While Balotelli has had his issues, there’s no denying his talent. It’s a pity if this is how it ends.”
The coming weeks will likely shed more light on Balotelli’s situation as both club and player navigate through this tumultuous period.
