A few days back, Brazilian club, Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama’s director of sport Fabio Cordella claimed that he has reached an agreement with Mario Balotelli to join in January.
But transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano confirmed today that the Italian striker never wanted to leave Italy. “Balotelli will have his medicals on Monday and then he’ll sign his contract.
