Mario Balotelli in talks over shock transfer to Brazilian side Corinthians - with ex-Man City star demanding £4m salary

Per <a href="https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/colunas/mercado-da-bola/2024/07/10/balotelli-custaria-quase-r-30-milhoes-por-cada-ano-ao-corinthians.htm" target="_blank">UOL</a>, Balotelli is in talks with Corinthians over a move to Brazil from Turkish side Adana Demirspor. The striker is now 33 but has demanded a salary of £4m-per-season, which equates to around £75,000-per-week.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Balotelli is still on the books at Adana, who had the option to extend his stay by another season. They have yet to exercise that option, however, despite him scoring seven goals in 16 appearances last term.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Corinthians have hired a new manager in Ramon Diaz, and they are simply awaiting the manager's sign-off ahead of pursuing their deal for Balotelli. The striker's representatives have been in talks with the Brazilian club for a number of weeks.

DID YOU KNOW?

Balotelli has endured a remarkable career, winning Serie A three times with Inter, as well as the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League. At Manchester City, he won the Premier League and the FA Cup.
