It is reported that Al-Ettifaq are ready to offer Balotelli a contract until 2028 with highly favorable personal terms.
The likelihood of this move is considered extremely high, as Balotelli is currently a free agent after leaving Genoa earlier this summer.
During his stint with Genoa, Mario made 16 appearances but failed to register a single goal or assist.
According to Transfermarkt, Mario Balotelli's market value is estimated at €400,000.
