Everton boss Ronald Koeman is said to be keen to bring Mario Balotelli to Goodison Park.
Everton fans appear to be largely against the rumours linking them with Nice striker Mario Balotelli.
The Ligue 1 side have confirmed that Balotelli will depart at the end of the season, and Everton have reportedly been alerted to the Italian international’s availability (L’Equipe).
Balotelli has enjoyed an excellent campaign for Nice this term, where he appears to have got back to his top form.
The forward has netted 15 goals in 23 matches in French football, making him one of the most feared forwards in the league.
However, Balotelli’s reputation in English football remains damaged – after his spells with both Manchester City and Liverpool.
Balotelli’s talent has never really been doubted, but his attitude is questionable.
And Everton fans appear to believe that signing the 26-year-old would be far too big a risk for them.
