Tottenham vs Liverpool - Premier League match preview
Jurgen Klopp is keen to offload the out-of-favour Italian following his failed spell at Anfield.
Despite his undoubted ability shown during his Manchester City and AC Milan days, Liverpool are struggling to find a suitor for the controversial striker.
The transfer window deadline is edging ever-nearer, and Balotelli may still be on the club's books come September.

Mario Balotelli is set to leave Liverpool
And now Sassuolo chief executive Giovanni Carnevali has confirmed the Serie A side decided against signing the 26-year-old.
Balotelli's agent has been searching for the forward's next destination with an array of European clubs linked.
Bologna, Chievo and Besiktas are among those reportedly interested in Balotelli, but no deal has materialised.
Even with Christian Benteke having left the Merseyside club for Crystal Palace, the Italy international is still not part of Klopp's plans.
