Former Manchester City and Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has been taken on by Turkish club Adana Demirspor after seeing his contract terminated by Sion in Switzerland
Mario Balotelli has re-joined Turkish side Adana Demirspor after seeing his contract terminated by Swiss club Sion.
Balotelli, 33, has lived a journeyman lifestyle throughout his tumultuous career, moving all around Europe, often after burning bridges through his behaviour. Most recently he found himself playing in Switzerland, but his stint is now over just a year into his stay at Sion.
Following a typically chaotic year, which involved injuries and behavioural problems, Sion decided to terminate his two-year contract early. He has left having scored six goals in 19 appearances and has been taken on by Demirspor once more, racking up the 12th move of his career.
“Everything was resolved in a very courteous manner with Mario. The document that we prepared is now in the hands of our lawyers who must complete it,” club president Christian Constantin told Le Nouvel Liste. “Rather than talking about money issues, I would have preferred him to score the goals we hoped for. That said, it’s time to move on.”
