[dropcap]M[/dropcap]ario Balotelli’s agent, Mino Raiola has confirmed that he is in talks with Premier League and Serie A clubs over a potential transfer for his client.

The former Manchester City striker, Balotelli has enjoyed a brilliant season with Nice scoring 21 goals in all competitions.

Balotelli, 27, will be available on a free agreement when his contract runs out in the summer, and super-agent Raiola insists suitors will be getting a £87million player for nothing.

He said: “Mario is ready to return. He has matured and is one of the top ten strikers in the world.

“In Italy, he is number one. He is worth €100m (£87m), but his contract is expiring, so he will be a bargain.

“I am negotiating with clubs in England and Italy. I have spoken to Juventus, Roma, Napoli and Inter Milan.
