Real Madrid reacts to this striker's offer, case closed: 'We are...'

Real Madrid has a clear answer for this forward who is not afraid to offer himself to the club, and they are adamant

The transfer market for the white club is clearly one of the most exciting and complicated among all those currently active. In this regard, many footballers tend to offer themselves to the king of Europe and the world. In this case, it was a controversial comment from Mario Balotelli that sparked euphoria: "I still have a dream to fulfill, and it's to play for Real Madrid".

The club's response to "Super Mario" was clear: "We're grateful that he considers us a dream in his career, but it's not a signing that fits into the current planning". Something completely unexpected and that many would surely have bet on at the time, although it never came true. What is clear is that it's not a real option for Madrid, which will completely pass on it.

Balotelli offers himself to the white club

It's clear that there are many people who know perfectly well what Mario Balotelli is and was at his prime. A player who was expected to be the future of the Italian national team and who gradually declined due to his attitude. He is currently without a team after terminating his contract with Genoa in 2025.

However, that doesn't seem to stop him from offering himself to Real Madrid in the hope that they might sign him. At 34 years old, it seems simply impossible for a footballer with these characteristics to fit into the plans of the white club. This is true even despite his more than 210 goals and 42 assists throughout his career.

Florentino Pérez is trying to forge a medium- and long-term sports project with signings of great prospects. For this and more, in the end, the addition of Balotelli is something that the board can't even consider.

It couldn't be

Both due to indiscipline and attitude or other factors, in the end this player couldn't make it to Real Madrid. Still, he is remembered by many football fans from those years as a player who promised a lot because of his quality. Now, he is only that mere memory, and maybe he can find a final stretch in soccer before his retirement.
