Despite various rumors that Mario Balotelli will move to another team, the Italian remains in the ranks of "Nice". It was claimed that the Italian had already reached an agreement with the "Marseille" team, but as it turned out, the striker will spend the 2018-19 season in the same "Nice" team. M. Balotelli disappointed the new team coach Patrick Vieira by not showing up on time for the pre-season camp. M. Balotelli joined "Nice" in 2016 after officially leaving the "Liverpool" team. In two seasons, the Italian played 66 matches and scored 43 goals.
