Mario Balotelli is still active in football and plans to continue playing for a few more years. He admitted that it was one to join Genoa in Italy “mistake,” And added that his future could be in Major League Soccer – the same league where Lionel Messi plays. And although he is currently not on the same level, Balotelli did not sell himself short and compared both Argentina captain and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Football is a fake world. I have nothing to envy for,” said the Italian striker to Rai 2Which not long ago expressed interest in playing for Boca Juniors and now sees MLS 2026, when his current contract ends. His goal is to play there for two or three years before he retires events that he believes will change life.
“It will be a sports trauma, but I will not miss everything about Socccer,” he added without much emotion. His relationship with the sport has always been characterized by controversy and media review, but it has not stopped him. “I could have done more, but I’m happy,” he reflected.
On the question more specifically about Cristiano Ronaldo, the comparison focused on Ballon d’Or trophies that Balotelli never won. But, true for form, the former Manchester City, Liverpool and Italy had the national team forward comeback: “He trains like crazy – I don’t! And he has more money.”
Now it seems that after his time with Genoa – a trait he considers to be a bad choice – Balotelli is on his way to the United States. Can he stop playing with Messi at Inter Miami? It remains to be seen.
