A Spanish club makes an offer to Balotelli

At 34, Mario Balotelli might be on the verge of surprising the football world once again.

Free since his departure from Genoa, the former Italian international is now on the radar of Real Murcia, an ambitious club from Spain’s third division. According to Gregorio León (Onda Regional Murcia), the Spanish side has set a Sunday deadline for the striker to respond to their proposal. A €500,000 offer is reportedly on the table to entice the mercurial forward.

Balotelli played just 56 minutes across 6 matches for Genoa, without scoring or assisting, though he did pick up two yellow cards. Despite this brief stint, Murcia remains convinced of the marketing and sporting potential of "Super Mario". The club has calculated that the Italian could attract sponsors and boost shirt sales, which would more than offset the costs of bringing him in—a figure already considered above the club's usual standards.
