Mario Balotelli worst Start in Season

Mario Balotelli’s disastrous start of his career as a player of Liverpool has even linked the Italian attacker to a move away from the Premier League club even though it has been less than a year since Balotelli joined Liverpool; he is already being rumored to be on his way out of Liverpool.

A number of rumors and reports were suggesting that Rafael Benitez was interested in bringing Mario Balotelli back to the Italian League, Serie A and after having analyzed his disastrous start of the season with Liverpool it could have been a possible transfer but the Sporting Director of Napoli, Riccardo Bigon stepped up and shut down those rumors as he said that Napoli have no plans to sign Balotelli.

"It's a rumor told in Spain, England and Italy but I don't think it is a possibility. Nothing of what has been posted is true. Mario Balotelli is a really great player but he has been just signed by Liverpool who believes a lot in him. Best wishes to him in his English adventure." Napoli’s Sporting Director, Riccardo Bigon told the media.

Even if somehow Rafael Benitez was indeed interested in signing Mario Balotelli and adding him to his squad at Napoli, Liverpool will probably give more time to Balotelli so he can get fully adjusted to life in his new club as it has been less than one year and not all hope has been lost in the Italian forward.

Napoli is currently sitting in 3rd place in the Italian League, Serie A with 21 points having been collected out of 11 matches. The team of Rafael Benitez has scored 20 goals in these 11 opening games of the season and signing a player such as Mario Balotelli who has a temperamental attitude and discipline issues could cause a problem in the dressing room of Napoli and it’s just too much of a risk for Rafael Benitez and his team.
