Italian striker Mario Balotelli has found a new club.
Details: According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the forward has joined Al-Ittifaq from Dubai. The deal was finalized in the final hours.
Balotelli has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract. The official registration of the agreement will be possible from January 12, and already on Friday, January 9, the player will head to Dubai to join the team and begin training with his new teammates.
It is reported that the new president of Al-Ittifaq, Pietro Laterza, who took charge of the club in September 2025, has made Balotelli his first official signing under the new leadership.
It's worth noting that Balotelli's last club was Genoa in Italy, which he left in the summer of 2025, and his last appearance for Genoa was a year ago.
