Newcastle United reportedly want Mario Balotelli.

ALLIANZ RIVIERA, NICE, FRANCE - 2018

Newcastle United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with former Liverpool and Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.

The Mirror reported last week of Newcastle’s interest in signing Balotelli from Nice in the January transfer window.

The same publication has since reported that the Magpies made an offer for the Italy international striker, but the 28-year-old is claimed to have made a decision to join Marseille instead.

Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking Rafael Benitez’s side with Balotelli.

Below are some of the best comments:

Mario Balotelli of Italy looks on prior to the International Friendly match between France and Italy at Allianz Riviera Stadium on June 1, 2018 in Nice, France.

Balotelli is a good striker who was successful in the Premier League during his spell at Manchester City.

The former Inter Milan and AC Milan striker, though, struggled during his time at Liverpool.

The 28-year-old has done well at Nice, and perhaps the striker could do a good job for Newcastle during the second half of the season.

Newcastle are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season and need to sign a proven goalscorer in the January transfer window.
