Former Liverpool and Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is training with a semi-professional team in the FOURTH tier of Italian football after being released by Brescia at the end of last season.

Now 30, Balotelli is a free agent and looking for a new club, and to keep his fitness levels up has been spending time at Franciacorta, a team who play in the Serie D Girone B semi-pro league not far from his hometown of Brescia.

The striker returned to Brescia for the 2019-20 season, but failed to keep them in the top flight of Italian football as had been hoped.
