The information about the possible transfer of Mario Balotelli to Al-Ittifaq is not true. It was reported journalist Ben Jacobs.

According to him, the Saudi club has not made any inquiries regarding the 35-year-old Italian striker and has no intention of signing the former Manchester City forward.

There were earlier reports that Al-Ittifaq were allegedly interested in Balotelli and were ready to offer him a deal until 2028, but Jacobs denied this.

We will remind, Mario Balotelli is in the status of a free agent after finishing his performances for Genoa. Last season, he played 6 matches in Serie A, spending 56 minutes on the field.
