The future of AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli could be in Barcelona, but not with the current European and Spanish champions, as cross-city rivals Espanyol are eying a move.
After a disappointing season with the Rossoneri following his loan move from Premier League club Liverpool during last summer's transfer window, the 25-year-old Italy international could be set for a spell in La Liga.
Balotelli's career has stalled since leaving Manchester City in 2013, and the former Inter player registered just one league goal to his name during 20 Serie A appearances this season. Spanish Radio station RAC report that the Periquitos are interested in landing the striker, but only if the Merseyside club pay his substantial wages.
Meanwhile, the Diavolo have not yet decided whether to renew the forward's loan deal and have already reportedly turned down Liverpool's offer of an exchange involving France international striker M'Baye Niang according to Sky Sport Italia.
The Reds are monitoring the 21-year-old, and will be represented at the Stadio Olimpico to watch him during the Milan's Coppa Italia final clash against Juventus on Saturday evening.
