Napoli are reportedly ready to launch a surprise bid for Liverpool’s under-fire striker Mario Balotelli in January.
The 24 year old Italian international has come under severe recent criticism for his profligacy in front of goal in recent months, and could be set for a quick return to the Serie A only six months after leaving.
The Express report that Napoli are poised to offer €12.6 million for the ex-AC Milan star when the transfer window re-opens in the new year.
The striker is on a barren run of eight consecutive games without scoring, and Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers may opt to cut his losses with the player sooner rather than later.
