In an interesting turn of events, forgotten football star, Mario Balotelli is back in Serie A. The former Italian international has joined Genoa on a free transfer.
The ex-Man City, Inter and AC Milan man is back in Italy’s top flight after a 4 year absence. He joins a struggling Genoa side who sit in the relegation positions.
Genoa, managed by Alberto Gilardino, are 17th after taking nine points from their opening ten games.
He made his debut as an 86th minute substitute in Genoa’s 1-0 win against Parma on Monday night as Alberto Gilardino’s side picked up just their second league win of the 2024-25 campaign.
His last appearance in Serie A came at Brescia where he scored five goals in 19 games in the 2019-20 season before joining Monza in Italy’s second tier, followed by his time in Turkey and at Sion in Switzerland.
