Nice striker Mario Balotelli says it is possible he could challenge Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the Ballon d'Or if he can have an injury-free season, and suggested he would be open to joining Manchester City or Arsenal in the future.
Balotelli, 26, has found some of his best form since joining Nice from Liverpool in the summer, yet his season has nevertheless been disrupted by injury.
He returned from a month on the sidelines to play 45 minutes of Nice's 2-1 Europa League win over Krasnodar on Thursday, putting him into contention to play against Paris Saint-Germain at the weekend.
