Mario Balotelli: Could striker return to Liverpool?

Jurgen Klopp wants to know where Mario Balotelli sees his future – but the new Liverpool boss cannot recall the striker in January.

Balotelli is currently on loan at AC Milan, but Klopp wants to find out whether he ever sees himself returning to Anfield, according to sources quoted by the Daily Star Sunday.

Klopp will discuss Balotelli’s future with the Italian’s agent, Mino Raiola, but the terms of the 25-year-old’s loan deal means he must spend the entire season at the San Siro regardless.

Liverpool are also reported to be keeping tabs on the progress of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, who on Saturday became only the fifth English player to score in seven consecutive Premier League games.
