Mario Balotelli To Be Released After Missing 10 Days Of Training

Mario Balotelli To Be Released After Missing 10 Days Of Training

Controversial striker Mario Balotelli is reportedly set to be released by his club in Italy after missing 10 days of training and having a huge bust-up with president Massimo Cellino.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Manchester City and Liverpool forward is set to leave Brescia at the end of the season, despite having two years left on his contract. 

It has been claimed that Balotelli and the club have agreed on a mutual termination of his contract after he was believed to have gone AWOL for more than a week. 

The 29-year-old was also said to be involved in a big argument with Brescia's president Cellino, who reportedly regrets bringing the ex-Inter Milan forward back to Italy.

While Balotelli has returned for training, he is reportedly training away from his teammates, but will finish the campaign with the club once Serie A resumes following the forced break. 

It is claimed that the Brescia board were annoyed when Balotelli hosted an Instagram Live session with a famous Italian porn star during lockdown.

The forward has scored just five goals in 19 games for the club since his arrival in August 2019.
