P. Vieira: "We must find a solution for Balotelli's future"

Patrick Vieira urges to find a solution for Mario Balotelli as soon as possible, as the striker has no future in the current team.

The Italian national team striker, who has not scored a single goal this season, has been left out of the "Ligue 1" matches for several times in a row. It is already known that M. Balotelli will be left out of the players list for the upcoming French league matches.

"I gave him Christmas holidays a little earlier than others," the coach said. "He still has a contract, so it is not yet the end of his career at this club, but the situation is difficult for all parties - for him, for me, and for the club."

M. Balotelli wanted to move to "Marseille" last summer, but the negotiations ultimately did not happen. P. Vieira is confident that the club will solve this player's dilemma.

"It has been difficult with him since the beginning of the season. After the transfer was canceled, he wanted to have a better season, but soon realized that it would not be easy to achieve.

"I respect his contract, but we must find a solution," added the Frenchman.
