Liverpool are maintaining their interest in AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli as the Serie A club looks to cut costs, according to a report.
The San Siro side's maverick forward had been linked with a return to the Premier League this summer following speculation that Arsenal were trying to sign him, but Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has dismissed the rumours.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, former Manchester City frontman Balotelli will be available for a knockdown price of between £12m and £14.5m as the struggling Rossoneri are reportedly looking to cut down their wage bill.
The Reds beat Milan 2-0 in a pre-season match in the United States yesterday.
