Kevin Prince Boateng’s former AC Milan teammate Mario Balotelli could be joining him at Italian Serie A side Sassuolo in the January transfer window.

Balotelli after two excellent seasons in Nice started the new campaign in the worst way. The former Milan striker is not enjoying a happy period with Nice being seventh in the standings and outside the European zone.

The 28-year-old is yet to find the back of the net after eight appearances in Ligue 1. The relationship with coach Vieira is not ideal, to put it mildly, the striker threw his gloves on the ground and turned abruptly towards the technician, pointing the finger at him after he was substituted over the weekend.

A situation that interests Sassuolo according to reports who could try the Balotelli coup in January.

Several clubs are also closely monitoring the latest development as they seek to strengthen their squad in the winter.
