Bologna ready to take Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli back to Serie A

• 'He would be highly motivated here,’ says Bologna’s director of sport
• Balotelli managed just one goal in his first season at Liverpool
Mario Balotelli managed just one goal in his first season at Liverpool following his £16m move from Milan.
Promoted Bologna could offer Mario Balotelli the opportunity to rekindle his career in Serie A.
The 24-year-old scored just one Premier League goal in his first season at Liverpool and the Italy international’s position has been weakened by the £32.5m arrival of Christian Benteke from Aston Villa.
Sampdoria have already expressed their interest in bringing Balotelli back to the league where he has represented both Internazionale and Milan, and now Bologna’s director of sport, Pantaleo Corvino, has hinted at a loan deal.
"I would take him, he would be highly motivated here," Corvino told the Corriere dello Sport. "Of course, Bologna have to respect certain financial parameters, but for the right price I would even look at the possibility of buying him outright."
Bologna, who are currently coached by Delio Rossi, have just returned from a season in Serie B. They finished fourth in the second division but beat Pescara to promotion by winning a two-legged play-off final in June.
