Juventus Reject Claims of Interest in Liverpool's Mario Balotelli
With Mario Balotelli's Liverpool career still not going to plan,
rumours have been awash of a return to Italy for the mercurial striker
but Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has ruled out such a transfer.
The
Italian international has played for both Milan clubs already, but
reports today suggested that Serie A Champions Juventus would approach
Liverpool to bring Balotelli to Turin during this transfer window.
However, Allegri has quickly cooled links to the Reds' striker, "I think this is a made up story. Balotelli has done very well with me but he belongs to Liverpool and he is not a player that can arrive at Juventus."
Balotelli arrived to Anfield in a £16m move from AC Milan over the summer, but has yet to score a goal in the Premier League.
Many associated with Liverpool think it is time for the club to simply cut its losses with the Italian, leading to multiple stories suggesting that Balotelli's time on Merseyside will soon be up.
