Liverpool outcast set for China move

Liverpool are reportedly considering to offload controversial striker Mario Balotelli, with The Mirror suggesting that a move to China Super League could well be on the cards for the Italian forward.

The 25-year-old attacker joined the Reds last summer but had a disastrous debut campaign with the Merseyside outfit and is currently serving his loan spell at AC Milan in his homeland.

The latest report claims that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp does not consider the former Manchester City player as part of his future plans and is keen to sell him in the coming future.

A move to Asia could be possible, with the signature of some prominent names over the last two months with the likes of Alex Teixeira, Jackson Martinez and Ezequiel Lavezzi have all left Europe and headed China to take on lucrative contracts.
