The enigmatic striker's Nice contract ends in June and Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco likes the idea of luring him back to Serie A
A return to Serie A could be on the cards for Mario Balotelli after Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco confirmed his desire to coach the Nice striker, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
Italy international Balotelli came through the ranks at Inter as a teenager and looked destined to become one of the world's elite players.
However, subsequent spells with Manchester City and AC Milan only saw the technically gifted forward impress in flashes, with consistency lacking from his game amid disciplinary issues.
