Since his contract with Genoa ended, Mario Balotelli has been training on his own. The former Manchester City striker is actively preparing for his comeback. Determined to continue his career, the Italian forward is waiting for January to consider his options.

"I still have a lot more quality than some players out there. I don’t really watch much football anymore, but from what I see, it’s a lot of physicality and less talent. I’m training, and in January I’ll evaluate the best opportunities," the player told the Italian press.
