35-year-old Balotelli was interviewed by NewsWire a few days ago, and he said he was willing to play football in the AUP.
Ballotelli has been in a free state since the expiration of his contract with Genoa in June. During his brief period in Genoa, Balotelli made only six appearances.
The Champions League champion and Premier League champion revealed in evaluating the new season choice that he is open to the invitation of Australian clubs and believes that opening a new experience in the A-League is quite attractive.
He said: " "I am really interested in playing in the A-League. ”
Ballotelli added that exchanges with former Italian national teammate Diamanti have enhanced his interest in playing football in Australia. Diamanti has played for four seasons in Western United. After gaining Australian citizenship, he started his coaching career in Melbourne City and served as the head coach of the U21 team.
Ballotelli said: "It's very interesting to listen to him telling his experience in the A-League. If he can play football in Australia, it will be an exciting opportunity for me. In addition to football, Australia itself is also an ideal livable country. ”
2025-26 A-League will open on the weekend of October 17-19, with two months left before the opening of the new season. Balotelli’s agent Vittorio Rigo said that the striker who has played for Inter Milan, Manchester City, AC Milan and Liverpool hopes to finalize his new club as soon as possible: "Ballotelli hopes to determine the club as soon as possible, because he knows that it is crucial to start pre-season preparations with his teammates and adapt to the new environment. ”
