Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez is said to be thinking about bringing in Mario Balotelli.
Mario Balotelli could be keen to move to Newcastle United, if he has the chance to link up with Rafael Benitez again.
According to the Daily Mirror, Newcastle are considering bringing in Balotelli this month.
And the Italian striker’s comments on Benitez in the past suggest he is a fan of the Spaniard.
“Benitez? I have often followed Liverpool and I like his ways. He will be the right man to continue Jose Mourinho’s cycle,” the striker said to Goal back in 2010.
Benitez and Balotelli ended up linking up at Inter Milan for a very short time, and the current Newcastle boss played the striker regularly.
With Newcastle now looking for a new front man, Balotelli could provide a solution at St. James’ Park.
On his day the 28-year-old has proven that he can be a danger to any Premier League defence.
Newcastle have only a limited budget to spend, and that means that Balotelli could now reportedly be an appealing prospect for Benitez this month.
