Genoa striker Mario Balotelli could leave the Italian club in January. This was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

According to the source, Mexican Cruz Azul is showing interest in the football player.

It is noted that negotiations between Balotelli and Cruz Azul are at an advanced stage. The parties remained to agree on the striker’s salary.

Balotelli joined Genoa at the end of October as a free agent. During this period, the 34-year-old Italian took part in six matches of Serie A, in which he spent a total of 56 minutes on the field, without distinguishing himself with productive actions.
