Berlusconi Undecided On Sale Of Balotelli 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jun 3, 2014 4:20 pm

Silvio Berlusconi has not ruled out AC Milan selling Mario Balotelli this summer, but the decision will depend on who is manager next season.

Balotelli has been linked to a move with Arsenal reportedly interested.

Napoli could reignite their interest after being beaten to his signature by Milan in 2013.

"We're still far from taking any decisions," said Berlusconi

"We're evaluating the possibility of signing new players, but let's wait until we have our new coach in place first."

Should Balotelli stay, Berlusconi will suggest to whoever is in charge next season where to field the Italy international. "He's got to be forced to play as a center-forward," Berlusconi added.

"One day when I was at Milanello (Milan's training ground), I asked to speak with Balotelli and he obliged. I asked him if he wanted to score more goals, and told him that he needs to get himself closer to the goalposts to do so."
