After long negotiations (his agent is notorious for his fiery style), Mario Balotelli will be able to take the A8 motorway in his Ferrari, heading towards Marseille.
An agreement has been reached between Mario Balotelli and the management of Olympique de Marseille. The Italian player still needs to pass the medical examination before wearing the Marseille jersey for six months.
This transfer could have happened during the summer transfer window, but the two clubs (OGCN and OM) had not reached a financial agreement. This time, the Nice management and the player terminated the contract, and “Balo” was able to sign the one that ties him to their regional rivals.
The question remains as to which of the two clubs got the better deal: OGCN, which rid itself of a financially burdensome contract and a player who was no longer unanimous (0 goals since the beginning of the season), or OM, which desperately needs a striker and has recruited a player whose talent is undisputed but whose behavior, on and off the field, is far from exemplary.
The page has turned, and a new life awaits Mario Balotelli. He could be lined up against Lille on Friday.
