Mario Balotelli revealed that he wants to play again for a strong club and fight for the most important trophies, as he has reached the most suitable age for it in his career.
According to the Italian, he can play at the highest level for another six or seven years, so his goal is to return to the top.
Currently 27 years old, the sniper has been playing for "Nice" for the second season, where last year he managed to lead them to the bronze medals of "Ligue 1".
"The goal is to return to a big club," Balotelli told "Sky Sport Italia". "To win something important again. I called Mino Raiola and asked, 'What will I do in January?' He said he didn't know. I want to stay, so we'll see."
"I confess that I would like to have a strong team behind me again. I want to play in the Champions League and win something."
"I don't really think about the end of my career. I am 27 years old, so I can play at the highest level for another six or seven years."
Speaking to "Gazzetta dello Sport", Balotelli also revealed that he would gladly return to "Manchester City".
"I love 'City', the Manchester City fans and the club. I would gladly return for free. Those were the best years of my life, even if living in the city itself was a bit difficult. Manchester is not London."
The forward also expressed his joy that he sees a great game from the "City" team this season with Pep Guardiola.
