Balotelli move mooted?

According to the transfer rumours on Italian radio RAI, Milan may be willing to offer Mario Balotelli to Newcastle United

In return Milan would want Davide Santon, Hatem Ben Arfa and around 12 million in cash (15 million Euros).

While it’s true Newcastle are in the market for a striker and there is little doubting Balotelli’s talent, when he’s in the mood it would seem an unlikely move for Newcastle, who seem to have stopped buying high profile players, coupled with his knack of getting into trouble would make it seem doubly unlikely.

However if there is any truth to it, and Pardew can manage to get the best out of the player, it could prove to be a master stroke.

Milan do appear keen to offload the striker and have keen connected with both Santon and Ben Arfa in the past.
