Report: Mario Balotelli set for big-money move to Chinese Super League

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli could be set for a big-money summer move to the Chinese Super League, according to reports.

The 25-year-old suffered a disappointing first season at Liverpool before being loaned out to AC Milan for the current campaign, where he has made just three league starts all season.

It is understood that Jurgen Klopp will look to offload the Italian when he returns to his parent club this summer, and Il Milanista claims that Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning are interested in taking him off Liverpool's hands.

The report goes on to claim that Balotelli and his representatives met with the Chinese club over Easter in order to discuss the possibility of a summer switch.

A number of high-profile players have already moved to China this summer, and any deal is likely to be a lucrative one for the striker, who could reportedly be paid as much as £11.8m per season in wages.
