If would have made this transfer, Barcelona dressing room would be never the same!
When he was a kid, Mario Balotelli was on the brink of Barca! He came to give evidence in La Masia, but went home after only a few sessions. Barca did not understood with the Italian club regarding the amount of transfer, and Mario returned home.
Coach Fran Sanchez says Balotelli did not show anything spectacular in the days spent in Catalunya.
“He didn’t spend too much time here, he made only three or four training sessions and took part in a tournament. Seemed a quiet boy, he spoke little. He performed very well. We could not figure out how he communicate, because there was a language barrier that could not be overcome in a short time. He had a great attitude. Barca tried to buy him, but we didn’t I understand with Barcelona about the money. There was a sporting decision, “said Sanchez.
