Should the opportunity arise the player in question would certainly not say no. This is the current scenario regarding Mario Balotelli and the opportunity to once again put on the Inter jersey. The player from the Inter youth section who in summer passed from Milan to Liverpool for a sum close to 20M€ has not convinced the Anfield crowd, the start of the season has been a particular one for Liverpool. And for Balotelli it has become more complicated due to all the talk about him off the pitch as well, something that has been a constant through his career so far (the last one being the Instagram post that was later removed that caused a stir and accusations of racism and anti-Semitism). Voices and rumors where too many regard him off pitch, and too little on it. This has caused to speculation about him leaving the Premier League at the next transfer window with Inter being an appreciated option. Without a doubt.
According to sources that FcInternews have been in contact with Balotelli has been in direct contact Roberto Mancini as soon as it became official that the coach was returning to Inter. This brought out the will of the player to return to Appiano Gentile should the possibility arise to try yet another comeback after the disappointments in the World Cup and in the EPL. Coming back to familiar ground where he won the scudetto 2007-2008 with Mancini as coach is seen as a way to return to the top. At the moment it is premature to talk about a deal closing considering the high costs of the operation (6M€ salary and a high transfer fee), these costs could hinder the return of the player to serie A but who knows. Sporting director Piero Auslio might try for the loan option. But this isn’t all.
Napoli is also said to be monitoring the situation with close attention with president Aurelio De Laurentiis being the one most kee on the possibillty to sign Balotelli. The dream of the Napoli president would be to be able to bring the talented Liverpool player to his team. An interesting scenario should both Inter and Napoli make actual moves to sign him, then Balo would be in a situation where he at least on paper would have to take a difficult decision. A difficult decision on paper only, since there really would not be a choice; he has an unconditional yes to return to Inter and coach Mancini.

I like Balo and no doubt he is a completely different player in Italy compared to England, but my dealbreaker is the obvious fact that he is a Milanista. He will never give 100% for Inter even if his life depended on it..
Search for someone else. I will never forget what he did to us and he will never become a top player.
I know many people hates him but he is good striker in Serie A. I’d like to see him again at Inter.
take him in on loan with an option and try, it could be great. i want an inter team like this after january:
4-3-1-2
Handanovic
Darmian Vidic Nastasic Juan
Guarin Medel Kovacic
cerci
Icardi Balotelli
I love that team, except you need Hernanes in there somewhere.
I can actually see Balotelli and Icardi at inter for a long time, build a great strikeforce. He isnt performing at Liverpool due to Rogers bad choice of players and Sturridge injury..
with lower salary he is perfect choice
For free Bring him, Money No Thank You
No point to sign him. He will always be trouble maker n never changes his attitude.. Believe me.. Even mourinho can’t handle this Evil
I used to like him a lot, not anymore….
anyway INTER need someone more consistence.
Don’t see this happening, most of all due to his crazy salary (which is completely undeserved btw, but that’s a chat for another time)
IF the opportunity does arise and he costs ~10m, I’d probably go for it, but I’d make it very clear to Balotelli that I want him to keep a low profile and that he will by no means be guaranteed a starting spot.
Time to give up the “top player” narrative when it comes to Balotelli, he’s not returning to the top because he barely ever reached it. It’s time to put all the hype behind him and to let him be an average player, the pressure and attention are useless.
Call me crazy… But you got my permission…
Inter badly need spotlight and media coverage, and balo is the best option around…
That’s some very expensive coverage right there will all the numbers surrounding Balotelli.
Inter need to hit the spotlight via performances on the pitch above all, and Balotelli is not a game-changer. Squad player at best, 10 million euros most, anything above that is an undeserved gift to Mario. (currently all of Osvaldo/Icardi/Palacio are better players than Mario anyway)
it’s not a bad idea if we can get him with much lower price and salary.
How much lower can we expect his salary to go, though? 6 million is a mile away from anything Inter players can dream of nowadays, it will be too much for him even if he cut his demands in half.
that’s why I used the word “if”.
I’m saying it’s still highly unlikely that such a lowering will fit him into our standards.
yeap, I agree. we’re not in a position for paying such amount of money. unless, well, he’s going ‘crazy’ and willing to cut half of his salary, LOL.
There’s romuors for a while that Yohan Cabaye is not happy at all to warm the bench in PSG and could leave. That kind of players our management have to look for, not strange talking about Soriano, Okaka or Chiriches.
Yep, Cabaye is a fantastic player, but I don’t think he’s in deep enough s**t to leave PSG for a small amount of money. Apart from that, when buying players from clubs like PSG/City etc. there’s always the problem that they were massively overpaid there and they expect their future clubs to meet demands that are around those standards. Crazy.
Bah, I’d prefer to have Livaja back
Castaignos is a monster right now you know
Yes, there is that option also in which he can replace Palacio, I think.
I mean Livaja can gives an option to Mancio if he wants to play a target man.
I don’t give a shit about what he did at Inter when he was a teenager. I’m more concerned about the fact that he still hasn’t grown up. Pass.
NO! Never! Like him as a player but dont want him at Inter after what e did, i know he will do it again. so NO TO BALOTELLI TO INTER!
After the stuff he is done in inter and all the bullshit with the milan shirt and stuff..i dont know..
That would be a very retarded move !!!!
If we want a good winger. Ballo does wonders
No. Nonononono!
Considering how media treat us now, I doubt that we´d ever get any peace and quite with him in the team. It´s just not worth it.
I just don’t know what to expect if he really arrives… There is HUGE hate from all of us interistas regarding what he’ve done, but Inter was the only team he really showed good football… And I don’t know if this rumor has any truth.
