Rumour Mill: Reds in for Balotelli

The 17-year-old striker has attracted interest from a number of clubs, although these have not been officially named, yet it is believed that Liverpool lead the pack.

"We've had contact with a few big Spanish and English sides and we will evaluate their offers seriously," said his brother, and agent, Corrado.

"Surely Mario will undertake a foreign experience, but it remains to be seen when."
