Balotelli offered his services to Malaga last summer, DS claims
The Italian striker had been heavily linked with leaving Liverpool last summer after two successive disappointing spells at Anfield Road and AC Milan. Despite training with the rest of the team since July, Jurgen Klopp saw no future for the former Inter and Man City star at Anfield Road, so much so he decided to let him go for free to OGC Nice.
Before Balotelli could complete his transfer at the French club, however, he had been rumoured to have offered his services to many small clubs around Europe and Malaga have emerged as one of those clubs contacted by Balotelli last summer.
“There was a concrete chance to sign him, they [middleman] offered Balotelli’s services to us, but his salary is just unaffordable for a club like Malaga.”
