Mario Balotelli looks set to join to his 11th career club as his relationship with Brescia deteriorates.
The Italian stormed out of training this week after an explosive row with manager Fabio Grosso, only rejoining the squad after crisis talks with the chairman.
Brescia lie rock bottom of Serie A, earning just seven points from 11 games – with Balotelli contributing two goals in seven games.
The newly promoted club is Balotelli’s hometown side, and when he joined on a free transfer from Marseille this summer, the former Manchester City striker said: ‘This is my home. When I told my mother that there was this possibility, she cried.’
However, his relationship has fractured, and according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Galatasaray is the preferred option for the maverick striker if he forces a January exit.

Balotelli has played in England, France and Italy, and could now join former Premier League men Falcao and Ryan Babel in the Turkish side’s squad.
He could also be tempted by the MLS or Brazilian club Flamengo, but is reportedly uninterested in China.
Balotelli has already made about six appearances for his new club scoring two goals.
