He was Liverpool's new jewel, surprised the world and now plays in Switzerland's second division

A few years ago, when our Liverpool was trying to return to the top of the Premier League, a player arrived to the team's ranks who had the conditions to become the new star of world football and who at the time aroused the interest of the big clubs in Europe, however his present is far from that expectation.

At that time, Anfield was in need of an elite striker because even though we had our eternal captain, Steven Gerrard, the team was not able to score goals. When he arrived, many thought that the next great striker had finally arrived at Liverpool and he ended up scoring only four goals.

We are talking about Mario Balotelli, who before his arrival at Anfield had shown signs of his enormous talent with AC Milan and Manchester City, clubs in which he scored 30 goals, however, he fell far short of that amount during his stay at Liverpool.

The Italian striker arrived at the Reds with a history of indiscipline and bad habits, however the Liverpool board believed they could get the best out of him, but it was not the case and his time at Anfield was brief and he left through the back door.

Where does Mario Balotelli play today?

Mario Balotelli currently belongs to FC Sion of Switzerland, a team with which he scored 6 goals in the 2022-2023 season. Balotelli and his team have just been relegated to the Swiss second division and Balotelli is under contract until 2024.
