Nice President Jean-Pierre Rivere has said striker Mario Balotelli is unlikely to sign an extension with the club, ending his time on the French Riviera.
Speaking to RMC Sport (h/t Goal) Rivere discussed his poor form in front of goal this season, defending the Italian. But when he was asked if he would continue with Nice beyond this season, the president said his time with the team is likely over: "An extension? No I think it will be over."
The 28-year-old joined Nice in 2016 after difficult spells with Milan and Liverpool and finally rediscovered the scoring form that had powered his rise to fame.
