'Only Messi & Ronaldo are better' - Balotelli's bold claim to be in world's top 10 players

The Italian is preparing to leave Nice as a free agent and, while he does not believe he is worth €100m, he considers himself to be quite the catch

Mario Balotelli considers himself to be at a similar level to “Neymar, Antoine Griezmann and Paulo Dybala”, with only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on another tier of quality.

The enigmatic striker is set to drop into the free agent pool this summer, with his contract at Ligue 1 side Nice running down.

His agent, Mino Raiola, has suggested that the 27-year-old would fetch around €100 million were he to be available on the open market.
