One of the leaders of the "Nice" team, Mario Balotelli, has decided not to hesitate and to defend the team's colors for at least one more season.
The 28-year-old Italian, linked to various clubs, decided to explain his decision.
"To be honest, at the end of the season I wanted to leave. The president and the team knew that," Balotelli said.
"I had received five specific offers and was waiting for more. Eventually, I decided not to leave, but I could have done it easily.
Why did I stay? There is a great atmosphere here, and my contract is still valid for another year. This is my decision and no one will tell me what to do.
"I do what I want. The final decision always belonged to me," Balotelli said.
The attacker joined "Nice" in 2016 when he officially left the "Liverpool" team. In two seasons, the Italian played 66 matches and scored 43 goals.
