Mario Balotelli Joins Genoa, Returning to Serie A After Four Years
The 34-year-old striker signs with Genoa as the club faces injury challenges and a struggle to avoid relegation.
- Genoa has signed Mario Balotelli as a free agent to bolster their attack amid a series of injuries to key players.
- Balotelli, who last played in Serie A with Brescia in the 2019-20 season, aims to reignite his career with Genoa, currently third from bottom in the league.
- The Italian striker has had a storied career, winning titles with Inter Milan and Manchester City, but has also faced challenges off the pitch.
- Genoa's manager, Alberto Gilardino, hopes Balotelli can add much-needed goals, as the team has scored only seven times in nine matches this season.
- Balotelli's debut for Genoa is expected against Fiorentina, as he looks to prove his value in Italy's top flight once more.
