Torino considers Mario Balotelli

Balotelli option

There is great concern in the Torino household for Duvan Zapata, who was injured during the match against Inter. Initial diagnoses from the Granata team doctors indicate that it could be an injury or even a ligament rupture, with different implications on recovery time.

Depending on the severity, Zapata could face months of stop, which would lead Torino to consider a return to the market. Should the former Atalanta Colombian be forced to end the season early, the club could turn to the free agent market, where Mario Balotelli’s name surprisingly stands out.

According to La Stampa, several agents and intermediaries have already proposed the 34-year-old striker, currently without a contract after the end of his adventure in Turkey, to Torino. At the moment, Balotelli is training in Brescia with great consistency.

"Thank you all for the messages and support that è reached me in these hours…. To the whole Toro world and also to the players, Inter fans who yesterday at San Siro made me feel their warmth and closeness after the injury. On Monday, I will doò exams…" wrote Zapata on Instagram on Sunday.
