Former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has reiterated that his football career is not over yet.
The former AC Milan and Inter striker, currently without a club, made the revelation while attending the Trento Sports Festival, insisting that his career is far from over.
The forward stated that he turned down offers from several clubs outside of Italy this summer in the hope of staying in his home country.
“I’m in a bit of a stalemate. I train several times a week on my own, and I’m feeling great physically. I’ve had offers from abroad, but I was hoping to find a team in Italy.

“I’ve had a few offers now, but I have to decide whether to sign immediately or wait until the January transfer window.
“For me, the national team is a fundamental point. It’s not an attack on anyone, but many times I see players playing for the national team without that desire to prove themselves, to defend the country’s shirt, and I don’t like it.
“When I was in the national team, I was proud to represent Italy, and that’s something I miss.
“Was I the last centre forward to play in a World Cup? Yeah, they told me that.”
