The situation of the former eaglet in Brescia does not seem to be improving, as the club’s president, Massimo Cellino, is reportedly ready to take the matter to court to resolve this issue.
According to the Italian press, the Italian international could see his contract terminated by Brescia, with the club criticizing his behavior throughout the season, particularly during the lockdown when he allegedly did not follow the training program provided by the club.
Balotelli—who is training on his own—has reportedly asked to be reintegrated into the group, while the club’s management is considering going to court to settle this issue, and a lawyer has been assigned to the case.
Indeed, in his contradictions, Balo is reminiscent of the character Alfredo in Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata,” for whom we might invoke the Act I duet, especially the passage “Croce e delizia al cor” (Torment and delight of my heart).
